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. This is the most significant eligibility change in Budget 2026: for the first time, mid-market and large companies have access to Singapore's consolidated enterprise grant for digitalisation, AI transformation, and overseas market expansion.

Key facts

EDGE: all Singapore businesses eligible (no size cap)
PSG today: SME only (≤S$100M revenue or ≤200 employees)
MRA today: SME only
EDG today: SME and non-SME, but 30% rate for non-SMEs

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

For non-SMEs planning AI transformation, the enterprise efficiency cluster (EDGE's successor to EDG) is the immediate focus. Consultancy, custom AI builds, and process redesign that would have gone through EDG at 30% will now flow through EDGE — with the non-SME rate still TBC.

For non-SMEs with overseas expansion plans, the market expansion cluster (the MRA successor) is the new opening. MRA was 70% for SMEs only. EDGE's rate for non-SMEs in the overseas cluster has not yet been confirmed, but even at a lower rate, access to a previously closed grant is meaningful.
