About Pro-Enterprise Panel
The Pro-Enterprise Panel (PEP) is a private-public panel chaired by Head, Civil Service. The PEP comprises business leaders and senior public officers who are passionate about fostering a stronger pro-enterprise environment in Singapore.
It discusses regulatory issues and provides objective perspectives and thought leadership about the Government’s pro-enterprise efforts, particularly those related to regulations.
Businesses may also wish to tap on three regulatory toolkits:
- First Mover Framework (FMF)
- New Idea Scheme (NIS)
- Green Economy Regulatory Initiative (GERI)
Jointly organised with the Singapore Business Federation (SBF), the PEP-SBF Awards recognise excellence in public-private collaboration for pro-enterprise regulatory environment.
