Seizing opportunities in green transition

Laying the groundwork for Singapore's next phase of growth

As business conditions shift and technology accelerates, this year's Enterprise 50 (E50) winners show how local companies are adapting to stay competitive and future-ready. Across sectors, they are reworking operations, deepening capabilities and finding new ways to grow - whether by advancing sustainability efforts, deploying artificial intelligence (AI) and automation, expanding into regional markets, or investing in talent and technology. Even long-established brands are refreshing their offerings to meet changing customer expectations.

Together, these home-grown small to mid-sized enterprises illustrate how reinvention at the firm level strengthens the foundations of Singapore's economy and prepares it for the next phase of growth.

E50 winner DLM is contributing to one of the nation's biggest transitions - the shift towards low-carbon, energy-efficient buildings.

A leading engineering contractor for some of Singapore's most ambitious Super Low Energy and Zero Energy developments, DLM's work helps to shape how buildings consume, distribute and conserve energy.

Its teams design advanced ACMV networks, high-efficiency chilled water systems, hybrid cooling technologies and electrical installations for developments such as Al-density data centres and advanced manufacturing facilities.
