The EDGE grant is Enterprise Singapore's single business grant, open for new applications since 30 September 2026. It supports up to 70% of qualifying cost for SMEs and up to 50% for other companies, within S$100,000 a year per company. The EDG, PSG and MRA closed to new applications on 29 September 2026. Each activity sets its own rate, and Enterprise Singapore decides every application.
Accurate as of 5 November 2026. Every figure, date and rule on this page was checked against its source on that date, and the page is rechecked monthly.
Enterprise Singapore replaced the EDG, PSG and MRA with EDGE on 30 September
EDGE took over new applications from the EDG, PSG and MRA on 30 September 2026, so every new project applies under EDGE. Enterprise Singapore's EDGE Grant page states that the three schemes ended on 29 September 2026 and that businesses apply under EDGE from 30 September 2026. Its EDGE FAQ states that EDGE is not an acronym.
| Old scheme | What it funded | EDGE equivalent | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| EDG (Enterprise Development Grant) | Projects in three pillars: core capabilities (business strategy, financial management, human capital, service excellence, brand and marketing), innovation and productivity (automation, process redesign, product development) and market access (pilot projects, standards adoption) | Business Strategy, Financial Management, Innovation, Standards and Automation & Digitalisation. The area headings read on 5 November 2026 do not include human capital or service excellence, so check the activity list for those | Closed to new applications on 29 September 2026; ongoing projects continue to claim |
| MRA (Market Readiness Assistance) | Overseas marketing and PR campaigns, trade fairs, partner search, outsourced business development, an employee posted overseas, market entry costs, and FTA and trade compliance consultancy | Internationalisation. Enterprise Singapore's March 2026 factsheet states the new-market condition falls away, so firms also deepen existing overseas markets | Closed to new applications on 29 September 2026; ongoing projects continue to claim |
| PSG (Productivity Solutions Grant) | Pre-approved IT solutions, equipment and consultancy that improve productivity | Automation & Digitalisation: single-function digital solutions, integrated enterprise systems and selected automation | Closed at Enterprise Singapore on 29 September 2026; other agencies move their PSG to EDGE in phases from November 2026 |

Is the PSG grant still available?
No. The PSG closed to new applications at Enterprise Singapore on 29 September 2026, and its solutions no longer appear in the PSG directory from 30 September 2026. The GoBusiness PSG and EDGE FAQ states that other agencies move their PSG to EDGE in phases from November 2026, each on its own timeline. During an agency's changeover, that agency takes no new PSG claims, and ongoing projects are unaffected.
Source: GoBusiness, November 2026
Do approved EDG, MRA and PSG projects still get paid?
Yes. Applications submitted before 30 September 2026 are assessed under their original scheme, and ongoing projects continue to completion and claim payment. The EDGE FAQ states that no new applications are accepted under the three schemes after that date.

Singapore-registered businesses with 30% local ownership qualify for EDGE
A business entity registered in Singapore with at least 30% Singapore Citizen or PR ownership qualifies for EDGE, and some activities add their own conditions. The EDGE FAQ states both tests and adds that other requirements depend on the activity. The EDGE page separates SMEs from non-SMEs only to set support rates and does not restate the SME definition. The closed PSG page used group annual sales of S$100 million or less, or group employment of 200 or less, so confirm the EDGE test on the activity page.
Source: Enterprise Singapore, November 2026
Do non-SMEs qualify for EDGE?
Yes. Enterprise Singapore's March 2026 factsheet states that EDGE supports all Singapore businesses, including non-SMEs, and the EDGE page sets non-SME support at up to 50%. The non-SME ceiling is 50% against 70% for SMEs, so read the activity page for the figure.
Source: Enterprise Singapore, November 2026
Does a past EDG, PSG or MRA recipient qualify for EDGE?
Yes. A business that applied for or received EDG, MRA or PSG funding applies for EDGE like any other business. The EDGE FAQ states this.
Source: Enterprise Singapore, November 2026
Does a foreign-owned company qualify for EDGE?
Only if the company is a business entity registered in Singapore with at least 30% Singapore Citizen or PR ownership; overseas-registered businesses do not qualify. The GoBusiness FAQ states the registration rule and the EDGE FAQ states the ownership rule.

Each EDGE business area funds named activities, and each activity sets its own rate and decision time
Enterprise Singapore's EDGE page states eight business areas and over 150 activities, so you pick an area first and then an activity inside it. The same page names seven areas: Automation & Digitalisation, Business Strategy, Financial Management, Innovation, Internationalisation, Standards and Sustainability. Enterprise Singapore does not name an eighth. One reading is that the count splits Automation & Digitalisation in two, because its activity cards carry separate Automation and Digitalisation labels, but the page does not say so. Each activity name below links to its own Enterprise Singapore page, which sets the final rate and conditions.

Internationalisation activities pay up to 70% for SMEs
Seven Internationalisation activities pay up to 70% for SMEs and up to 50% for non-SMEs, and Enterprise Singapore decides them in 6 to 10 weeks. Costs count from the date you apply, and every activity page asks for a projection of new jobs, overall and for Singaporeans, at gross monthly pay above S$5,000, for one year after the project ends.
| Activity | SME and non-SME support | Decision time | Project period and limits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Market Entry Setup | 70% and 50% | 6 weeks | 18 months; professional service costs for agreements, entity incorporation, import and export licences, intellectual property, tax advisory and trade credit insurance |
| Overseas Physical Trade Fairs | 70% and 50% | 6 weeks | 12 months; booth space rental and booth design and construction each capped at 36 sqm; fairs open to the public or domestic only are excluded; apply no earlier than 6 months before the fair, and booth deposits paid before you apply are permitted |
| International Branding | 70% and 50% | 10 weeks | 12 months; brand research and analysis, brand strategy and brand identity, with a closing report on how the project supports overseas expansion |

| Overseas Marketing & Public Relations | 70% and 50% | 6 weeks | 12 months |

Business Strategy and Financial Management activities pay up to 50% for SMEs and need an SS 680 consultant
The four planning and finance activities pay up to 50% for SMEs and up to 30% for non-SMEs, so the company funds at least half of each project. Enterprise Singapore decides each in 10 weeks, and each asks for the vendor's proposal, quotation and SS 680 certification.
| Activity | SME and non-SME support | Decision time | Status on 5 November 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Business Strategic Planning | 50% and 30% | 10 weeks | Open; 12 months; the deliverable includes an implementation roadmap and measurable outcomes |

Innovation and Sustainability activities split between 50% and 70%
Product Development pays up to 50% for SMEs, while the four Sustainability activities pay up to 70%. Product Development excludes a company's first product and needs tangible work such as a prototype or small batch production, and strategy work qualifies only as a lead-in to that prototype. Sustainable Product and Service Development excludes incremental improvements and needs a clear advance beyond current market standards.
| Activity | SME and non-SME support | Decision time | Project period and limits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Product Development (Innovation) | 50% and 30% | Not shown on the page | First product excluded; prototype or small batch production required |
| Sustainability Strategy Development | 70% and 50% | 10 weeks | 12 months; strategy, sustainability report and assurance of the report |
| Sustainable Product and Service Development | 70% and 50% | Not shown on the page | Advance beyond market standards required |
| Resource Management and Optimisation | 70% and 50% | 10 weeks | 12 months |
| Sustainability Services | 70% and 50% | 10 weeks | 12 months; software costs |

Automation & Digitalisation pays up to 50% for SMEs inside a S$30,000 yearly cap
Digital solutions and pre-scoped equipment pay up to 50% for SMEs and up to 30% for non-SMEs, and a S$30,000 yearly cap covers all Automation & Digitalisation projects combined. Each solution page states a cost cap, so the support is a fixed amount: S$30,000 for an SME and S$18,000 for a non-SME on a solution capped at S$60,000.
| Activity | SME and non-SME support | Decision time | What the page states |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single-function Digital Solutions | 50% (S$30,000) and 30% (S$18,000) on the carbon management solution | 1 week | 40 pre-approved solutions; cost capped at S$60,000; 18 months; software costs capped at 12 months |
| Integrated Enterprise Systems | 50% (S$30,000) and 30% (S$18,000) on the integrated ERP solution | 1 week with a pre-approved vendor, 10 weeks without | 3 solutions; cost capped at S$60,000; 18 months |
| Pre-scoped Equipment | 50% (S$2,500) and 30% (S$1,500) on the automated deep fryer | 4 weeks | 30 items; the fryer costs capped at S$5,000; 12 months |
| Large-scale Automation | 50% and 30% | Case by case | Enterprise-wide automation and integration across production and operational systems |
| Large-scale Digital Transformation | 50% and 30% | Case by case | Enterprise-wide digital initiatives that connect systems and change workflows |
Automation & Digitalisation activities, as of 5 November 2026. The amounts shown are for the one solution or item named in each row, and each item sets its own cap.
The two large-scale pages exclude GST, maintenance costs, equipment used overseas, duplicate software or equipment, and basic off-the-shelf items such as laptops and phones. The sample solution pages exclude GST and maintenance costs too.

Standards support pays up to 50% for SMEs, and sustainability standards pay up to 70%
The Standards listings name four groups, and the sample standard read in each group pays up to 50% for SMEs and up to 30% for non-SMEs, except sustainability standards, which pay up to 70% and 50%. Decisions take 10 weeks and projects run within 12 months. The ISO/IEC 27001 page requires a certification body accredited by the Singapore Accreditation Council or an internationally recognised accreditation body. This guide read one standard page per group, so check the rate on the page of the standard you want.
| Standards group | Examples listed | Rate on the sample page read | Decision time |
|---|---|---|---|
| General | ISO 22301, ISO 37001, ISO 55001 | 50% and 30% (ISO 22301) | 10 weeks |
| Digitalisation | Common Criteria, ISO/IEC 27001, 27701 and 42001, SS 714 Data Protection Trustmark | 50% and 30% (ISO/IEC 27001) | 10 weeks |

EDGE pays up to 70% for SMEs and 50% for other companies, inside a S$100,000 yearly cap
EDGE supports up to 70% of qualifying cost for SMEs and up to 50% for non-SMEs, and a company's support is capped at S$100,000 a year across all activities. Enterprise Singapore states that rates vary by activity, so 70% and 50% are ceilings, not promises for every project.
| Rule | EDGE figure | What it means for your budget | Where stated |
|---|---|---|---|
| SME rate | Up to 70% of qualifying cost | The activity page sets the actual percentage | EDGE page |
| Non-SME rate | Up to 50% of qualifying cost | The activity page sets the actual percentage | EDGE page |
| Yearly cap | S$100,000 per company, refreshed every 1 April | All activities share one cap | EDGE page and FAQ |
| Digital cap | S$30,000 inside the S$100,000, covering all Automation & Digitalisation projects combined | One cap for solutions and equipment together | Activity pages and EDGE FAQ |

What does a project cost after EDGE support?
At the 70% ceiling an SME pays 30% of qualifying cost until the S$100,000 yearly cap binds, and digital solutions pay less because each has a cost cap. The six scenarios below use the published ceilings, so a lower activity rate, such as 50% for strategy work, raises the company's share.
| Scenario | Qualifying cost | Calculation | Support paid | Company pays |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A. SME, one non-digital project at 70% | S$120,000 | 0.70 x 120,000 = 84,000, under the S$100,000 cap | S$84,000 | S$36,000 |
| B. SME, one non-digital project at 70% | S$160,000 | 0.70 x 160,000 = 112,000, cut to the S$100,000 cap | S$100,000 | S$60,000 |
| C. Non-SME, one non-digital project at 50% | S$160,000 | 0.50 x 160,000 = 80,000, under the cap | S$80,000 | S$80,000 |
| D. SME, single-function solution at 50% | S$80,000 | Cost capped at S$60,000; 0.50 x 60,000 = 30,000, equal to the S$30,000 digital cap | S$30,000 | S$50,000 |
| E. Non-SME, same solution at 30% | S$80,000 | Cost capped at S$60,000; 0.30 x 60,000 = 18,000 | S$18,000 | S$62,000 |
| F. SME, solution S$80,000 plus overseas fair S$120,000 at 70% | S$200,000 | 30,000 (solution) + 0.70 x 120,000 (84,000) = 114,000, cut to the S$100,000 cap | S$100,000 | S$100,000 |
Illustrative arithmetic from the published ceilings, excluding GST and any cost the activity page does not support, as of 5 November 2026.
Scenario D uses the whole S$30,000 digital cap with one solution, so any other Automation & Digitalisation project that year gets no further support. The yearly cap binds above S$142,857 of qualifying cost at 70% (100,000 / 0.70) and above S$200,000 at 50% (100,000 / 0.50).
Source: Enterprise Singapore, November 2026
What is the S$30,000 digital cap for?
The cap limits support for all Automation & Digitalisation projects combined to S$30,000 a year, and it sits inside the S$100,000 yearly cap, not on top of it. Each solution and equipment page states this in the same words. A company that uses the full S$30,000 has S$70,000 of yearly cap left for other activities, such as strategy or overseas work. Both caps refresh every 1 April.

Marketing projects qualify through named EDGE activities, and digital marketing has its own guide
EDGE is activity-based, so a marketing project needs a matching activity before you apply. The closed schemes funded marketing in two places. The EDG pages listed strategic brand and marketing development, and the MRA page listed overseas marketing and PR campaigns and overseas trade fairs. Enterprise Singapore's March 2026 factsheet states that MRA-supported activities move under EDGE. For packages of search, content and paid media bought from a pre-approved vendor, the rates and route sit in The PSG Digital Marketing Grant Explained, and the EDGE Grant That Replaced It.

You apply for EDGE through the Business Grants Portal after choosing an area and an activity
You choose the area and activity, confirm the vendor rule, apply through the Business Grants Portal, and Enterprise Singapore decides. The GoBusiness FAQ names the Business Grants Portal as the application route, and the closed EDG page named Corppass as the login.
- Open the EDGE page and pick the business area and activity; each activity page sets the rate, the vendor rule and the decision time.
- Check whether the activity requires a pre-approved vendor; if it does not, you choose your own vendor.
- Get a written quotation for the full scope and keep the vendor fixed, because the EDGE FAQ states that only the project end date and the claim due date change through a change request.
- Log in to the Business Grants Portal with Corppass and submit the application yourself, because Enterprise Singapore states that vendors, corporate secretaries and other third parties do not apply on a company's behalf. Costs count from the date you apply, so do not pay before you submit.
- Receive the Letter of Offer, complete the project and pay in full.
- Prepare the claim with the payment method, the claim pack and an auditor, then submit it. Enterprise Singapore reimburses only after the activity is complete and fully paid.
- Receive disbursement. PayNow Corporate pays 14 working days after claim approval, and GIRO takes up to eight weeks.
Each activity page states that costs incurred from the date of application are covered upon approval, so payments before that date are not supported. The one exception read is trade fairs, where booth deposits paid before you apply are permitted.

How long does Enterprise Singapore take to decide an EDGE application?
Decision time runs from 1 week for single-function digital solutions to 10 weeks for strategy, finance, branding, standards and sustainability activities, and large-scale automation and digital transformation decide case by case. The activity tables above list each figure read on 5 November 2026. Pre-scoped equipment takes 4 weeks and most overseas activities take 6 weeks.
Source: Enterprise Singapore, November 2026
Which EDGE activities require an EDGE-approved vendor?
Some activities require an EDGE-approved vendor and others let you choose any vendor, and the activity page states which rule applies. For digital solutions, IMDA's SMEs Go Digital programme pre-approves solutions that vendors submit. A pre-approval decides whether a purchase qualifies for support. It does not promise a business result from the project, and it does not replace Enterprise Singapore's decision on your application.
