PSG vs EDG for Digitalisation: Which Grant Should a Singapore SME Use?

Current answer · 5 October 2026

For a new digitalisation project, use EDGE. PSG and EDG closed to new applications on 29 September 2026. The useful decision is still whether you need a ready-made tool or a broader change to how the business operates.

Ready-made software or equipment

Begin with the task you need to improve and the exact solution. Compare features, implementation, training and recurring costs. Check the current EDGE activity, eligible solution and supplier requirements before purchasing; previous PSG support is not proof of current eligibility.

A broader process or capability project

If the bottleneck involves handovers, data, management decisions or several systems, define the process change before choosing software. The proposal should connect consulting, implementation and measurable operational outcomes, rather than merely listing tools.

Can tools and consulting be supported together?

Check each relevant activity and its costs. EDGE uses one application per activity and applies annual caps and some sub-caps. A combined vendor proposal does not by itself establish that every item is grant-supported.

Funding and timing

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.

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.

What if you already have a PSG or EDG award?

Existing submissions and projects continue under their own terms. Use the approved scope and claim instructions; do not assume an old award can be switched or used for a different solution.

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.
