EDGE Grant Eligibility Check

Could the EDGE Grant support your project?

Five quick questions to gauge whether your Singapore company is likely eligible for the EDGE Grant, which replaced the Enterprise Development Grant (EDG), and a rough sense of what you could claim. Takes 30 seconds.

EDG, PSG and MRA have been replaced by the EDGE Grant. They closed to new applications on 29 September 2026, and the EDGE Grant took over from 30 September 2026. Applications submitted before then, and projects already under way, continue under their original scheme. See what changed under EDGE and Enterprise Singapore's EDGE page.

1. Is your company a business entity registered in Singapore?

Non-profits, societies, religious bodies and government entities are not eligible.

2. Does your company have at least 30% local shareholding?

Held by Singapore Citizens and/or Permanent Residents.

3. Is your group turnover S$100 million or less, or your group headcount 200 or fewer?

If yes, you count as an SME: up to 50% support on most activities instead of 30%.

4. Is this a new project, not one already funded under EDG, PSG or MRA?

EDGE supports new projects. A project already funded under the old schemes should not apply again.

5. Is the project still to start, with no work begun and no deposit paid?

Enterprise Singapore does not support retrospective applications.

The EDGE Grant is administered by Enterprise Singapore, which sets all eligibility criteria, activities, support levels, caps, and approval decisions. This check reflects the terms published on 9 October 2026 and is indicative guidance only, not a determination of eligibility or a guarantee of funding. Please verify current details with Enterprise Singapore or on the Business Grants Portal.

Using the EDGE Grant to fund custom software

The EDGE Grant replaced the Enterprise Development Grant (EDG) on 30 September 2026. For most activities, including automation and digitalisation, eligible SMEs can receive up to 50% of qualifying costs. Each company is capped at S$100,000 a year, and digital solutions and integrated enterprise systems share a S$30,000 sub-cap within that.

Company eligibility comes down to a few basics: a Singapore-registered business with at least 30% local shareholding, applying for a new project before any work starts or deposit is paid. The project then has to fit an EDGE activity, which for bespoke software is worth confirming with Enterprise Singapore's advisors. The check above gives you a quick read; a free scoping call turns it into the proposal and quotation your application needs. See our EDGE Grant guide for the full picture.

EDGE Grant questions, answered

What is the EDGE Grant?

The EDGE Grant is Enterprise Singapore's single business grant from 30 September 2026. It replaced the Enterprise Development Grant (EDG), the Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG) and the Market Readiness Assistance (MRA) grant, and covers over 150 activities, including automation and digitalisation.

What happened to the EDG?

The EDG, PSG and MRA closed to new applications after 29 September 2026. Applications submitted before 30 September 2026 are still assessed under their original scheme, and projects already under way are supported to completion.

Who is eligible for EDGE?

A business entity registered in Singapore, with at least 30% Singaporean and/or PR shareholding, applying for a new project before any work starts or payment is made. Enterprise Singapore sets and assesses the full criteria, including those for each activity.

How much funding can EDGE provide?

For most activities, up to 50% of qualifying costs for SMEs and up to 30% for non-SMEs. Each company can receive up to S$100,000 a year across all activities, and within that up to S$30,000 on single-function digital solutions, integrated enterprise systems and pre-scoped equipment.

Can EDGE fund custom software development?

It depends on which EDGE activity the software fits. An integrated enterprise system covering at least three business functions can be built by your own vendor when no pre-approved package fits. For other bespoke builds, confirm the activity with Enterprise Singapore’s advisors before you apply. We provide the project scope and quotation your application needs.

How do we apply, and what’s the right sequence?

Applications go through the Business Grants Portal, from the EDGE activity page. Apply before any work starts or any deposit is paid: scope with us, apply, get approval, then we build, and you claim once the project is complete and paid.
