EDGE · Singapore SME grants

What activities are eligible for the EDGE grant in Singapore?

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 today's MRA.

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." Whether EDG's existing consultant-certification requirement carries into any EDGE activity has not been published.
