EDGE · Singapore SME grants

What activities are eligible for the EDGE grant in Singapore?

Short answer

The EDGE grant funds three clusters: Digitalisation (AI tools, tech adoption), Enterprise Efficiency (process redesign, consulting, capability building), and Overseas Market Development (export, market entry). Specific activity lists will be published by Enterprise Singapore when the scheme launches in 2H 2026.

Key facts

Three clusters: Digitalisation, Enterprise Efficiency, Overseas Market Development
Single S$100k cap per company per year across all clusters
Digitalisation: pre-approved vendor/solution model (like PSG)
Enterprise Efficiency: requires PMC-certified consultant (like EDG)

Digitalisation cluster: covers technology adoption including AI tools, workflow automation, digital solutions, and data analytics platforms — the successor to PSG's pre-approved solution model. Expect a pre-approved vendor or solution list for this cluster.

Enterprise Efficiency cluster: covers business process redesign, management consulting, productivity improvement programmes, and AI workforce deployment. This is the successor to EDG's consultancy track and typically requires a PMC-certified consultant.

Overseas Market Development cluster: covers overseas market entry, overseas promotion, business development in new markets, and export capability development — the successor to MRA.

Activities that span multiple clusters (e.g. deploying an AI tool AND redesigning the process around it) can be scoped under both the Digitalisation and Enterprise Efficiency clusters within the S$100k annual cap.
