EDG vs PSG vs MRA: Which Singapore Business Grant Is Right for Your SME? (2026)

Current answer · 5 October 2026

EDG, PSG and MRA closed to new applications on 29 September 2026. New applications use EDGE from 30 September. Existing submissions and projects continue under their applicable terms.

Why do these old grant names still appear?

They describe different needs and remain relevant to existing submissions. EDG covered tailored capability projects, PSG supported eligible ready-made productivity solutions, and MRA supported overseas-market entry. Those distinctions help explain the work; they are no longer three new-application routes.

For business strategy or consulting

Define the capability or operational problem, expected deliverables and implementation plan. Check the relevant EDGE activity and its consultant requirements. A general advisory conversation is not automatically a supported project.

For software, equipment or AI tools

Identify whether you need a specific solution or a wider process change. Check the current solution and vendor requirements before committing. An old PSG listing alone does not establish current EDGE support.

For overseas expansion

Specify the target market and the work involved: market promotion, business development or market setup. Use the relevant EDGE internationalisation activity and its current caps and eligibility rules.

Can you combine different activities?

EDGE uses one application per activity. Separate new projects may be assessed subject to the annual cap and any sub-cap. Do not seek duplicate support for the same eligible expenses or assume one application covers an entire growth plan.

Where does SFEC fit?

SkillsFuture Enterprise Credit is separate from this grant transition. Check its own programme eligibility, balance and deadlines; it is not automatically available as a top-up to every project.

Advanced Consultancy supports project scoping and documentation. Your company submits and manages the application through its authorised Corppass users; a consultant cannot submit it for you.
