Short answer
EnterpriseSG structures EDGE around 8 business areas covering over 100 activities, not the informal three-cluster shorthand ('Digitalisation', 'Enterprise Efficiency', 'Overseas') that circulates in the market. Seven of the eight are named on EnterpriseSG's own EDGE page: Automation & Digitalisation, Business Strategy, Financial Management, Innovation, Internationalisation, Standards, and Sustainability. The full activity list per business area has not yet been published in detail ahead of the 30 September 2026 launch.
Key facts
- EnterpriseSG structures EDGE around 8 business areas, over 100 activities - not the informal three-cluster model some guides describe
- 7 of the 8 business areas are named on EnterpriseSG's EDGE page: Automation & Digitalisation, Business Strategy, Financial Management, Innovation, Internationalisation, Standards, Sustainability (the 8th is not published in text form)
- Shared cap: up to S$100,000 per company per year across all activities, with a S$30,000 sub-cap for single-function digital solutions, integrated enterprise systems and selected automation
- "Enterprise Efficiency cluster" is not EnterpriseSG's own term - it does not appear on the EDGE page or FAQ
EnterpriseSG's own EDGE Grant page states the scheme covers "8 business areas" and "over 100 activities", and names seven of the eight: Automation & Digitalisation, Business Strategy, Financial Management, Innovation, Internationalisation, Standards, and Sustainability. The eighth is not spelled out in the page's text as of this writing.
Automation & Digitalisation covers technology adoption including AI tools, workflow automation, digital solutions, and data analytics platforms - closest to today's PSG territory. Business Strategy and Innovation are closer to today's EDG capability-building and consultancy work.
Internationalisation covers overseas market entry, overseas promotion, and export capability - the closest match to MRA. Internationalisation and Sustainability are the two areas with the higher support level: up to 70% for SMEs and up to 50% for non-SMEs; all other activities are up to 50% and up to 30% (EnterpriseSG MR 040/26, Annex B, 9 September 2026). The same release describes EDGE as covering 'more than 150 activities across eight business areas', against 'over 100' on the EDGE page; the list published from 30 September 2026 will settle it.
EnterpriseSG's FAQ confirms the pre-approved-vendor mechanism carries into EDGE for some activities: "For activities with pre-approved vendors, businesses should choose from the list... For activities where no pre-approved vendor is required, businesses may engage a vendor of their choice." EDGE's activity pages (read 30 September 2026) list "SS 680 certification" among the vendor documents required at application for Business Strategic Planning, Financial Framework and Corporate Strategy, Sustainability Strategy Development, International Branding, ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 42001. Large-scale Digital Transformation does not list it.
