Singapore Business Grants: EDG, PSG & EDGE Guide 2026

2026 guide to Singapore EnterpriseSG grants, including PSG, EDG and the upcoming EDGE scheme, with eligibility, support rates, BGP application rules and claim requirements.

Statutory Overview & Legal Framework

Enterprise Singapore (EnterpriseSG) provides several grant schemes to help Singapore businesses improve productivity, transform operations, innovate and expand internationally. As of August 2026, the Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG), Enterprise Development Grant (EDG) and Market Readiness Assistance (MRA) remain accessible through the Business Grants Portal (BGP) while the new EDGE scheme is being prepared for launch later in 2026. PSG supports local SMEs adopting pre-approved productivity solutions and equipment, with support of up to 50% of eligible costs and a current S$30,000 cap. EDG supports individual business-transformation projects, with up to 50% support for eligible SMEs and up to 30% for eligible non-SMEs. Eligibility, supportable costs, caps and project conditions vary by scheme. Applications must generally be submitted and accepted before the project starts or the applicant commits to supported expenditure.

What Is Available in 2026?

status: As of August 2026, EnterpriseSG states that EDG, PSG and MRA remain accessible until the new EDGE scheme launches later in 2026.

edge

name: EDGE

planned Launch: Later in 2026

EDGE is intended to streamline EDG, PSG and MRA into a single scheme so businesses can apply based on their intended activities rather than choosing between the three existing grant names.

planned Coverage: EnterpriseSG has announced support for Singapore businesses, including non-SMEs, with up to S$100,000 per year for eligible activities, with further details to be confirmed at launch.

important: Until EDGE is officially launched, businesses should use the live EDG, PSG and MRA schemes and their current BGP processes.

Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG)

PSG helps local SMEs improve productivity and automate processes through eligible IT solutions and equipment.

support: Up to 50% of eligible costs for local SMEs.

current Cap: Up to S$30,000, subject to the applicable solution and grant conditions.

solutions: Support is available for sector-specific and generic solutions that are pre-approved by EnterpriseSG and participating agencies. Equipment must meet the required specifications even where the vendor itself is not pre-approved.

application Timing: The company must not have signed a contract or made payment to the third-party vendor before submitting the PSG application.

retrospective: Retrospective applications are not supported.

eligible Cost Point: Only the qualifying purchase, lease or hire cost of the approved solution or equipment is supported unless the specific grant terms state otherwise; unrelated administrative costs are generally excluded.

portal: Applications are submitted through the Business Grants Portal using CorpPass.

Enterprise Development Grant (EDG)

EDG supports individual projects that help businesses upgrade, innovate, transform, improve capabilities or expand into overseas markets.

eligibility:

Business entity must be registered and operating in Singapore.

Company must have at least 30% local equity held directly or indirectly by Singapore citizens and/or Singapore permanent residents, determined by ultimate individual ownership.

support Rates

S M E: Up to 50% of eligible costs

pillars:

Core Capabilities

supportable Costs:

Third-party consultancy fees

Software and equipment

Internal manpower costs where eligible

application Timing: Projects must be new, must not have commenced and must not be generating revenue at the point of grant application.

assessment: EnterpriseSG assesses the project scope, intended outcomes and relevant service-provider capability. Applications are not automatic grants simply because the company meets the basic eligibility criteria.

application Restriction: The applicant company must transact on BGP using CorpPass. EnterpriseSG states that third-party companies are not allowed to apply for or manage the grant on behalf of the applicant company.

Market Readiness Assistance (MRA)

MRA supports Singapore companies expanding into overseas markets through overseas market promotion, business development and market set-up activities.

current Support: From 1 April 2026, support for eligible SMEs is up to 70% of qualifying costs until 31 March 2029, with the existing S$100,000 cap per company per new market.

important: MRA remains a separate current grant until EDGE launches later in 2026.

Startup SG Founder

Startup SG Founder provides mentorship and funding support to first-time entrepreneurs through Accredited Mentor Partners (AMPs).

assessment: Applicants are evaluated on factors including the business concept, feasibility of the business model, management team and market potential.

important: Startup SG Founder is a different programme from PSG and EDG and should not be described as a general-purpose PSG/EDG technology grant.

Who Can Apply?

general: Grant eligibility depends on the specific scheme. A company being registered in Singapore does not by itself guarantee support.

psg: PSG is targeted at local SMEs and requires the adopted solution or equipment to meet the applicable pre-approved criteria.

edg: EDG requires a Singapore-registered and operating business with at least 30% qualifying local equity and financial capacity to complete the project, subject to further project-specific assessment.

mra: MRA has its own eligibility requirements, including the applicable local-shareholding, size and target-market conditions.

foreign Owned: Foreign-owned companies are not automatically excluded from all EnterpriseSG grants, but the relevant local-equity and scheme-specific conditions must be checked.

How to Apply

Choose the Relevant Scheme

Determine whether the proposed activity fits PSG, EDG, MRA, Startup SG Founder or another EnterpriseSG programme.

Check the Current Eligibility Rules

Review ownership, SME status, financial viability, target market, solution eligibility and any scheme-specific requirements.

Prepare the Proposal or Quotation

Use the required pre-approved solution quotation for PSG or prepare the project proposal, supporting documents and outcomes for EDG.

Apply Through BGP

Submit the application using the Business Grants Portal and the applicant company's CorpPass credentials.

Wait for the Grant Decision

Do not treat the application as approved until EnterpriseSG issues the relevant approval or Letter of Offer.

Execute the Approved Project

Carry out the approved scope and keep the required invoices, payment records, deliverables and other evidence.

Submit the Claim

Submit the required completion and claim documents through the applicable grant process for reimbursement or disbursement.

critical Timing: Do not sign the vendor contract, make payment or otherwise start a supported project before the relevant scheme allows you to. PSG explicitly rejects retrospective applications, while EDG requires projects to be new and not commenced at the application stage.

After Grant Approval

Grant support is not normally an upfront cash payment simply because an application is submitted. The applicant must meet the conditions in the approval and submit the required claim documentation.

typical Evidence:

Invoices

Proof of payment

Project completion information

Deliverables or reports

Other supporting documents required by the Letter of Offer or scheme

The exact claim sequence, eligible costs, reimbursement timing and evidence requirements depend on the grant.

Key Pitfalls to Avoid

✕ Assuming PSG and EDG both provide a universal 50% grant.

✓ PSG currently supports up to 50% for local SMEs, while EDG is up to 50% for SMEs and up to 30% for non-SMEs, subject to scheme conditions.

✕ Applying for PSG after paying the vendor.

✓ PSG retrospective applications are not supported; payment or contractual commitment before submission can make the application ineligible.

✕ Starting an EDG project before applying.

✓ EDG projects must be new and not commenced at the application stage.

✕ Assuming every Singapore company automatically qualifies for EDG.

✓ EDG has local-equity, financial-readiness and project-assessment requirements.

✕ Treating S$30,000 as the support amount for every PSG solution.

✓ S$30,000 is the current overall PSG cap, while individual solutions have their own qualifying-cost caps and conditions.

✕ Using the old EDG/PSG/MRA structure without mentioning EDGE.

✓ EDGE is planned for later 2026 and is intended to combine the three existing schemes, but the current EnterpriseSG pages still direct businesses to EDG, PSG and MRA until EDGE launches.
