Nanosun Wins Top Accolades at Emerging Enterprise Award

Three companies—G8 Subsea, KoolLogix, and Nanosun—emerged as top winners of the Emerging Enterprise Awards for demonstrating significant growth despite pandemic disruptions. Nanosun specializes in material science for water treatment, battery separator, and healthcare applications.

The award ceremony took place at The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore on December 7. Each winner received prizes valued at approximately S$370,000, including consultancy services, business debit card credits, and a S$250,000 interest-free term loan from OCBC.

The Business Times and OCBC jointly organize this annual awards program, which has run since 2008 to recognize emerging SMEs demonstrating innovation, resilience, and excellence. This year received over 300 applications across industries including infotech, biotech, robotics, sustainable energy, food & beverage, and urban farming, with 15 finalists selected.

Minister of State Low Yen Ling emphasized that “Singapore's growth is boosted by local enterprises pioneering and capturing opportunities” and outlined three transformational strategies: redefining processes through technology adoption, reimagining customer solutions, and reinventing approaches to capture regional markets.

Nanosun and Shiok Meats both received the Best Innovation Award. All winners received Enterprise Singapore capability development grants covering up to 70 percent of eligible project costs, plus S$1 million in A*Star vouchers and year-long Google Cloud mentorship programs with senior management coaching.
