What is the EDGE grant Singapore?

Short answer

Enterprise Singapore's PSG, EDG and MRA stopped taking new applications on 29 September 2026. New applications now go through the EDGE Grant. The EDGE grant is Singapore's unified enterprise grant, announced 2 March 2026 at the MTI Committee of Supply debate, that consolidates Enterprise Singapore's PSG, EDG and MRA into a single activity-based framework covering business areas such as automation and digitalisation, business strategy, and internationalisation. Open to SMEs and non-SMEs with at least 30% Singaporean and/or Singapore PR ownership. Cap of up to S$100,000 per company per year. Launches 30 September 2026.

Ceased 29 September 2026

Enterprise Singapore's PSG, EDG and MRA ceased on 29 September 2026.

Enterprise Singapore's PSG, EDG and MRA stopped taking new applications on 29 September 2026. Applications submitted by 29 September 2026 continue under their original scheme's requirements, and projects already underway are supported to completion. New applications for this kind of project now go through the EDGE Grant. Everything below is kept as a record of how PSG, EDG and MRA worked.

EDG claims are due within 6 months of the end of the project qualifying period. For SFEC-supported programmes under PSG, EDG and MRA, the final claim must reach Enterprise Singapore by 30 November 2026. PSG administered by other agencies moves to EDGE in phases from November 2026.

Grant cap, per company per year: S$100,000
Digital and automation sub-cap: S$30,000
SMEs, most activities: Up to 50%
SMEs, overseas and sustainability: Up to 70%

The cap is shared across all activities and refreshes each 1 April. The S$30,000 sits inside it and covers single-function digital solutions, integrated enterprise systems and selected automation activities. Non-SMEs get up to 50% on internationalisation and sustainability activities and up to 30% on everything else. Rates are from the EnterpriseSG media release MR 040/26, Annex B, 9 September 2026. Eligibility and the final amount are decided by Enterprise Singapore. EDGE spans 8 business areas and over 100 activities. Each activity page sets out its own requirements, such as the SS 680 certification six consultancy activities list among the vendor documents required at application.

Not affected. The CTC grant runs through NTUC and e2i rather than Enterprise Singapore, so EDGE does not touch it, and its deadline was extended to 31 March 2028. WDG(JR+) also survives, administered by SWDA at up to 70% for SMEs and up to 50% for non-SMEs, capped at S$150,000 per enterprise. Component caps are S$50,000 workforce consultancy, S$60,000 capability building and S$90,000 workforce technology solutions. Workforce technology solutions must be combined with at least one of the other two components.

What EDGE funds, and what is still open

Key facts

Replaces Enterprise Singapore's PSG, EDG and MRA under one framework
Open to SMEs and non-SMEs; the applicant needs at least 30% Singaporean and/or Singapore PR ownership
Cap: up to S$100,000 per company per year, shared across activities
EDGE is not an acronym - EnterpriseSG's own wording, not shorthand for a longer name

EDGE was announced 2 March 2026 at the MTI Committee of Supply debate, as part of a Business Refresh Package administered by Enterprise Singapore. The intent is to simplify the grant landscape: businesses that currently navigate three separate applications (PSG for tools, EDG for capability, MRA for overseas) will file one consolidated EDGE application instead.

The non-SME eligibility is the structural shift that matters most. PSG and MRA were SME-only. EDGE opens its activities to mid-market and large companies for the first time, creating a new funding pathway for businesses that previously had no route.

Enterprise Singapore's PSG, EDG and MRA took their last applications on 29 September 2026, the day before EDGE launched; no new applications are accepted under those three schemes after that. Anything submitted by then is still assessed and paid out under that scheme's own rules.

Support levels are tiered, per Annex B of EnterpriseSG media release MR 040/26 (9 September 2026): SMEs up to 70% on internationalisation and sustainability activities and up to 50% on all other activities, digital and automation included; non-SMEs up to 50% and up to 30%. Within the S$100,000 annual cap, up to S$30,000 can go to single-function digital solutions, integrated enterprise systems and selected automation (EDGE FAQ).
