EDGE · Singapore SME grants

What is the EDGE scheme and when does it start?

Short answer

EDGE is Singapore's new consolidated enterprise grant, announced 2 March 2026 at the MTI Committee of Supply debate as part of a Business Refresh Package, that replaces Enterprise Singapore's PSG, EDG and MRA under a single activity-based framework covering business areas such as automation and digitalisation, business strategy, and internationalisation. Open to SMEs and non-SMEs, provided the business has at least 30% Singaporean and/or Singapore PR ownership. Launched 30 September 2026. Enterprise Singapore's PSG, EDG and MRA took their last applications the day before, on 29 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

Consolidates PSG, EDG and MRA into one framework
SMEs and non-SMEs can apply; the applicant needs at least 30% Singaporean and/or Singapore PR ownership
Standard cap: up to S$100,000 per company per year, shared across activities
Launch date: 30 September 2026 (confirmed). Enterprise Singapore's EDG, MRA and PSG took their last applications on 29 September 2026

The most significant structural change is eligibility: PSG and MRA were SME-only (≤S$100M revenue or ≤200 employees). EDGE removes that restriction, giving mid-market and larger companies access to Singapore's enterprise grant for the first time.

Enterprise Singapore's PSG, EDG and MRA took their last applications on 29 September 2026; a new project now goes to EDGE. Anything submitted by then is still assessed and paid out under that scheme's own rules, even if the decision lands after EDGE launched (EnterpriseSG EDGE FAQ, read 25 September 2026).

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; non-SMEs up to 50% and up to 30%. Eligibility and the final amount are decided by Enterprise Singapore.
