Singapore government grants support specific policy and business outcomes. For new capability, productivity and overseas-growth projects previously covered by EDG, PSG or MRA, explore EDGE. Other business needs may require different schemes or financing.
Begin with the outcome, not the subsidy
Write down the business problem, its cost and the change you want to make. A project that has no clear owner or operating purpose is difficult to deliver, even if it appears eligible for support.
Prioritise work that improves a decision, process, customer experience or route to market. Then check whether a relevant grant activity supports part of the cost.
Understand the current EDGE framework
For new projects from 30 September 2026, use EDGE. EDG, PSG and MRA ceased for new applications on 29 September 2026. Existing submissions and projects continue under their original scheme and approved terms.
EDGE uses defined activities across eight business areas. Support is subject to company requirements, activity conditions, costs and assessment. The annual cap is shared, so plan multiple activities together even when they require separate applications.
Know who does what
Enterprise Singapore supports enterprise development, capability building and overseas growth. IMDA has a distinct role in digitalisation, including pre-approved digital solutions under SMEs Go Digital. SME Centres provide business advisory support.
Do not confuse a provider’s listing or certification with approval of your company’s funding application. Each serves a different purpose.
Plan application, delivery and reimbursement together
Check the timing rules before work or payments, including any explicit activity exceptions. Match the proposal to the cost schedule and keep the applicant company responsible for submission.
Budget for full payment before reimbursement. Define the project evidence at the start and retain it as the work proceeds. That reduces avoidable gaps when it is time to claim.
Build a more informed plan
Explore guides on business strategy, overseas marketing, claims evidence, vendor selection and startup readiness. Each focuses on a different decision rather than promising a universal route to approval.
