On 29 September 2026, three of the grants Singapore businesses had relied on for years — the Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG), the Enterprise Development Grant (EDG) and Market Readiness Assistance (MRA) — closed to new applications. In their place, EnterpriseSG introduced a single scheme: the EDGE Grant, open for applications from 30 September 2026.
The change matters because it replaces a patchwork of overlapping schemes — each with its own catalogue, caps and rules — with one grant and one application route. If you were planning a project around the PSG or EDG, the mechanics have changed, even though the intent is the same: co-funding to help Singapore companies build capabilities, improve efficiency and grow.
Here's what the EDGE Grant covers, how much support it provides, and what the consolidation means for a project you may already be planning. Figures here follow EnterpriseSG's official EDGE Grant page; confirm the detail for your specific activity on the Business Grants Portal before committing.
What the EDGE Grant is
The EDGE Grant supports Singapore companies starting new projects to upgrade capabilities, improve efficiency and expand overseas. EnterpriseSG describes it as covering eight business areas and more than 150 activities — spanning Automation & Digitalisation, Business Strategy, Financial Management, Innovation, Internationalisation, Standards and Sustainability.
In other words, it reaches across almost everything the old schemes did. The adoption of digital tools that sat under the PSG, the bespoke transformation and capability work that sat under the EDG, and the overseas-expansion support that sat under MRA now share one grant, one cap and one portal.
EnterpriseSG has not published an expansion of the name, so treat “EDGE” as the scheme's name rather than an acronym to decode.
How much support you get
Co-funding is up to 70% of qualifying costs for SMEs and up to 50% for non-SMEs. The exact rate depends on the activity, so two projects at the same company can be supported at different levels.
Total support is capped at up to S$100,000 per company per year, across all activities combined. That cap resets on 1 April each year — the start of the financial year — which matters for planning: a larger programme of work can be phased across two grant years to draw on two annual caps.
The grant is disbursed on a reimbursement basis. You pay your suppliers first, complete the activity, and then submit a claim. As with the schemes it replaces, this means cash flow sits with you until the claim is processed — budget for that.
What the consolidation means if you were mid-planning
If you had a PSG or EDG application in progress, or an approved project underway, you are not stranded. EnterpriseSG has said existing PSG, EDG and MRA submissions and approved projects continue to be processed and supported through to completion and claim. The cessation applies to new applications from 29 September 2026, not to work already in the pipeline.
If you were about to apply under the old schemes, the route is now the EDGE Grant. The thinking you'd already done — defining the business problem, the expected outcome, the supplier — still applies. What changes is the single cap and the single portal: you now weigh all your intended activities against one S$100,000 annual limit rather than separate scheme budgets.
The practical starting point is EnterpriseSG's BizSG recommender, which maps your business need to supportable activities, or the Business Grants Portal to apply. You can also book an appointment with an EnterpriseSG advisor.
Where custom AI and software projects fit
Much of what TechAtrium builds — AI integration, workflow automation, custom applications and enterprise platforms — falls under the kind of Automation & Digitalisation and Innovation activity the EDGE Grant is designed to support, the same territory the EDG covered before it closed.
The grant does not change what makes a project worth doing. A funded project that solves the wrong problem is still a waste of the other 30–50% you put in. The strongest projects start with a specific, costly constraint — manual reconciliation, no real-time visibility, a process that can't scale — and a clear picture of what better looks like before any build begins.
We are not a grant consultancy, and we can't approve an application — EnterpriseSG does that. What we can do is help you scope the work, define the outcome, and build something that runs in production rather than becoming shelf-ware. If a project is a poor fit for the grant, we'll say so.
The bottom line
The EDGE Grant simplifies a cluttered landscape: one grant, one cap, one portal, replacing the PSG, EDG and MRA from 29 September 2026. For most Singapore companies the headline terms are generous — up to 70% co-funding for SMEs, up to S$100,000 a year.
The discipline that separates successful grant projects from expensive ones hasn't changed. Define the problem before the solution. Get approval before you start — the grant is a reimbursement scheme, not a rebate on work already begun. Plan for adoption, not just purchase.
If you're planning a project that might qualify, start with the business case and the Business Grants Portal. If it involves custom AI, automation or software, we're happy to help you scope it — and to tell you honestly whether it's a fit.
