The EDGE Grant Explained: What Replaces EDG, PSG and MRA for Singapore SMEs in 2026

Advanced Consultancy24 July 20267 min read
Quick answer

The EDGE grant is EnterpriseSG's 2026 consolidation of the EDG, PSG and MRA into a single scheme, simplifying how Singapore SMEs fund capability-building, productivity tools and overseas expansion. For applications already submitted, processing continues.

Singapore is simplifying its business grants. The EDG, PSG and MRA are being brought together into one scheme, EDGE, under one scheme. Here is what that means for your SME.

Updated 9 September 2026: EDG, PSG and MRA close on 29 September; EDGE applications start on 30 September. Existing submissions and projects continue to be processed. Enterprise Singapore transition guidance.

What is the EDGE grant?

EDGE is EnterpriseSG’s move to consolidate three of its most-used schemes — the Enterprise Development Grant (EDG), the Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG) and Market Readiness Assistance (MRA) — into a single grant through the Business Grants Portal. The aim is to make support simpler to access instead of navigating three separate schemes with three sets of rules.

EDGE support is capped at up to 70% for SMEs and 50% for non-SMEs, depending on activity. The shared annual grant cap is S$100,000; reimbursement follows completion and full payment. Official EDGE terms.

What changes for SMEs?

Do the old grants still work?

Yes — the current schemes close on 29 September 2026. Existing submissions and projects continue to be processed. The practical question for many owners is timing, which we cover in our grant comparison guide.

Compare the eligible activity, support cap and project timing before choosing a scheme. The trap is assuming the old rules still apply once EDGE is live — scope your project around the current framework at the time you apply.

What should you do now?

The fundamentals do not change: a grant funds a real, well-scoped business project, not a wish list. Whether you apply under the current EDG/PSG/MRA or wait for EDGE, start with the business problem and a proper plan. If you have a project you were going to do anyway, it is worth checking whether applying now or under EDGE gives you better support — that depends on the specifics of your project.

The short version

EDGE combines the EDG, PSG and MRA into one 2026 grant under one scheme and broader, in places more generous, support. The launch date is 30 September 2026. Scope your project properly and confirm the current figures on the Business Grants Portal before applying.
