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.

What is the EDGE grant?

EDGE is Enterprise Singapore’s grant framework for new capability, digitalisation and overseas-growth projects. Start with the activity that matches the business problem, rather than choosing a grant by its headline percentage.

How much support can a business receive?

EDGE support depends on the activity: generally up to 50% for SMEs and 30% for non-SMEs, with higher limits for eligible internationalisation and sustainability activities. Check the selected activity and written approval before budgeting for a grant.

The overall annual grant cap is S$100,000 across activities and resets on 1 April. Some digital and automation activities share a S$30,000 sub-cap within that amount. A cap is a maximum, not an entitlement or a quotation discount.

Who qualifies and who submits?

For a new EDGE application, the business must be registered in Singapore with at least 30% Singaporean or permanent-resident ownership. Activity-specific conditions also apply. There is no general minimum of more than 10 employees or S$1 million revenue in the published applicant criteria.

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.

What happens to an existing EDG, PSG or MRA project?

Continue using the terms, milestones and claim requirements for that submission or approved project. Do not assume an old award converts to EDGE or seek another grant for the same supported expenses. A separate new project may be considered under the current activity rules.

What should you prepare before applying?

Scope the project before committing. EDGE does not support retrospective applications: do not start work or make a payment or deposit before submitting. Submission is not approval; confirm the activity rules and project qualifying period before proceeding.

Prepare a clear problem statement, proposed deliverables, implementation schedule, supplier quotation and evidence of the outcome you intend to measure. Check the consultant or vendor requirements for the chosen activity. Funding is reimbursed after completion and full payment; plan cash flow for the project rather than relying on an advance.

How Advanced Consultancy helps

A business diagnosis identifies whether the priority is cash flow, operating discipline or growth. The next step is a scoped roadmap with responsibilities and measurable outcomes. Grant preparation supports that business project; approval remains Enterprise Singapore’s decision.
