Submissions for the Enterprise 50 (E50) Awards 2026, jointly organised by The Business Times (BT) and KPMG in Singapore, are open from now until 30 June 2026.
Centred around the theme of “Future-Proofing Growth Through Innovation”, the Awards this year recognise and celebrate enterprises that exemplify pioneering spirit and forward-thinking leadership, driving transformative changes that secure long-term success and resilience.
In line with this theme, a virtual fireside chat between Mr Dylan Tan, Senior Correspondent, BT, and Ms Phyllis Ong, Group CEO, Armstrong Asia, was hosted by the two organisers to discuss how companies could leverage innovation across technology, operations, finance, and business models to navigate and thrive in a rapidly changing business environment.
Established in 1995, the E50 Awards recognise the 50 most innovative and competitive local privately held companies which have contributed to Singapore’s economic development, both locally and abroad.
The E50 Awards 2026 is sponsored by OCBC and supported by Enterprise Singapore, the Singapore Business Federation, and the SGX Group.
Ms Chen Huifen, Editor of The Business Times, said, “In today’s rapidly changing global landscape shaped by constant technological advancements including AI and digitalisation, innovation is key to sustainable growth. We hope that the E50 Awards this year will encourage businesses to foster a culture that promotes experimentation, continuous learning, and strategic agility, and inspire others to do the same, ultimately contributing to Singapore’s economic development and societal progress.”
Mr Chiu Wu Hong, Partner, Head of Private Enterprise, KPMG in Singapore said, "We're at an inflection point where AI is redefining competitive advantage across industries. The gap between early movers and late adopters is widening rapidly. Technologies like low- and no-code platforms have democratised access, but strategic execution and speed of adoption remain the differentiators. We're inviting submissions from enterprises redefining what's possible and shaping the future of business in Singapore."
