Learn the EDGE grant’s basics, eligibility, and step‑by‑step actions to apply before the 29 Sept 2026 deadline.
What the EDGE Grant replaces
The EDGE Grant consolidates three flagship programmes – the Enterprise Development Grant (EDG), Market Readiness Assistance (MRA) Grant and Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG) – into one unified scheme, removing the need for separate applications for each type of support.
All three legacy schemes will cease on 29 September 2026; after that date no new applications can be lodged under the names EDG, MRA or PSG.
From 30 September 2026 onward, any fresh request for funding must be made through the EDGE Grant, which now serves as the sole programme covering the activities previously funded by the three discontinued grants.
Important dates to remember
The BizSG portal, which will host the EDGE Grant, goes live on 30 September 2026, providing a single digital entry point for all grant applicants.
Applications lodged under the legacy schemes before 29 September 2026 will continue to be processed; claims for those projects must be submitted via the Business Grant Portal after the activity is completed.
On launch day the government will publish the annual grant cap of S$100,000 per company and the detailed activity‑by‑activity eligibility list, giving businesses a clear reference for what can be funded under EDGE.
The transition deadline is 29 September 2026; after this date all new projects must be filed under the EDGE Grant.
Eligibility and funding rates
All Singapore‑registered businesses, including non‑SMEs, may apply for EDGE funding.
For SMEs the scheme can fund up to 70 % of eligible costs; for non‑SMEs the funding rate is up to 50 % of eligible costs, depending on the activity.
The programme imposes an annual cap of S$100,000 per company across all eligible activities.
Within the S$100,000 cap, a maximum of S$30,000 may be allocated to single‑function digital solutions, integrated enterprise systems and selected automation activities.
Funding is provided on a reimbursement basis, meaning the applicant must first pay the full cost of the activity before receiving the approved percentage back.
Finding the right EDGE activities for your business
The BizSG portal includes an AI‑powered grant recommender that can be accessed at https://www.bizsg.gov.sg/grants/grant-recommender; it gives an initial eligibility indication based on your shareholding structure and employee headcount.
EDGE covers more than 150 activities across eight business areas, ranging from efficiency improvements to market expansion and digitalisation initiatives.
If a proposed project does not match a predefined activity, companies may submit a case‑by‑case assessment to Enterprise Singapore for customised support.
Preparing the documentation
Gather proof of Singapore registration, the latest shareholding structure and the current employee headcount; these documents satisfy the eligibility check performed by the grant recommender.
Compile cost estimates, vendor quotations and a realistic project timeline for the chosen activity, ensuring that the total cost does not exceed the S$100,000 annual limit.
Verify that the selected activity appears on the published eligibility list and that any digital‑solution component stays within the S$30,000 sub‑cap before finalising the documentation.
Submitting the application on BizSG
Log in to the BizSG portal on or after 30 September 2026, select the EDGE Grant, and follow the guided steps that collect the same information required by the legacy schemes.
Upload all required documents, including the eligibility check result from the grant recommender and a detailed cost breakdown for the activity.
Enterprise Singapore will review the application and may request additional information before granting approval; keep your contact details up to date to respond promptly.
Claiming the grant after project completion
When the activity is finished and full payment has been made, submit a reimbursement claim through the Business Grant Portal (BGP).
Attach the original invoices, proof of payment and a brief report confirming that the activity was carried out as approved.
The reimbursement will be released after verification, up to the funded percentage—70 % for SMEs or 50 % for non‑SMEs.
Transition checklist for existing grant users
Review any ongoing EDG, MRA or PSG projects; these will continue to be processed, but any new projects must be filed under the EDGE Grant.
Before 29 September 2026, use the grant recommender to map current or planned activities to EDGE eligibility, ensuring a smooth handover.
Update internal grant‑tracking spreadsheets to reflect the S$100,000 annual cap and the 70 % funding rate for SMEs, which will affect future budgeting decisions.
