EDGE · Singapore SME grants

Is the EDGE grant open to non-SME companies in Singapore?

Short answer

Yes - EDGE removes the SME size restriction. PSG and MRA are currently SME-only (≤S$100M group annual revenue or ≤200 employees). EDGE is open to all Singapore businesses regardless of size, at a confirmed support level of up to 50% for non-SMEs (versus up to 70% for SMEs). This is one of the most significant eligibility changes since EDGE was announced at the MTI Committee of Supply debate on 2 March 2026: for the first time, mid-market and large companies have access to Singapore's consolidated enterprise grant across its activities.

Key facts

EDGE: all Singapore businesses eligible (no size cap)
PSG today: SME only (≤S$100M revenue or ≤200 employees)
MRA today: SME only
EDGE confirmed support: up to 70% for SMEs, up to 50% for non-SMEs, differing by activity

A company with S$200M revenue, 400 employees, and no SME status currently has one grant pathway for enterprise projects: EDG at 30% subsidy for non-SMEs. No PSG pathway for tools, no MRA pathway for overseas expansion. EDGE changes this across its activities.

For non-SMEs planning AI transformation or capability-building work, that is the immediate focus: consultancy, custom AI builds, and process redesign that would have gone through EDG at a 30% non-SME rate now sit under EDGE's confirmed up-to-50% non-SME support level.

For non-SMEs with overseas expansion plans, EDGE opens what was previously an SME-only MRA pathway (up to 70% for SMEs) - non-SMEs now have a confirmed route into these activities at up to 50%, where before they had none.
