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 was the Enterprise Development Grant?
EDG supported business capability, innovation and market-access projects, including eligible management-consulting work. This page remains useful for owners with an existing EDG submission or award. New project enquiries should use the current EDGE activity requirements.
Existing EDG projects: what still matters
Use the grant letter and Enterprise Singapore’s instructions to confirm the approved scope, eligible costs, project period and claim deadline. The historical headline support percentage does not replace your individual award. Keep deliverables, invoices and payment evidence for the claim.
How much support applies to a new project?
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.
Who is eligible now?
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.
Strategy, productivity or overseas growth?
Under EDG these were grouped into Core Capabilities, Innovation & Productivity and Market Access. EDGE uses activity-specific requirements. Describe the actual work—such as a business strategy, financial-management project or process improvement—and check the relevant current activity rather than copying an old EDG category.
How a consultant helps with preparation
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.
Agree a scope, deliverables, timeline, fee breakdown and responsibilities. Check any required consultant certification against the selected activity. A consulting engagement and grant approval are separate decisions; avoid guarantees of funding or guaranteed acceptance.
Can work already started be funded?
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.
