The 2026 consolidation

EDGE Grant 2026: what replaces EDG, MRA and PSG

On 29 September 2026, EDG, MRA and PSG stop accepting new applications. From 30 September 2026 the EDGE Grant becomes the single route for the activities they used to fund — one S$100,000 annual grant cap per company, up to 70% co-funding for SMEs, and non-SMEs included for the first time.

Legacy paradigm
3 separate schemes

Separate caps, separate applications, a new-market restriction and SME-only eligibility.

New framework
1 unified S$100k cap

One activity-based application per company per year, with up to S$30,000 for digital and automation activities.

Expanded eligibility
Non-SMEs + 70% support

Up to 70% for SMEs, up to 50% for non-SMEs, and support for deepening existing overseas markets.

Strategic transformation

The 5 shifts EDGE introduces

  1. 1

    From scattered caps to one annual refreshing cap

    Businesses used to juggle MRA's S$100,000 per-new-market cap, EDG's project-by-project assessment and PSG's S$30,000 annual limit. Under EDGE each company has an annual grant cap of S$100,000 for all eligible activities, which resets each year.

  2. 2

    Non-SMEs are officially included

    Mid-tier companies above S$100M group revenue or 200 staff were largely outside SME grant support. EDGE is open to all Singapore-registered businesses with at least 30% local ownership, with up to 50% co-funding for non-SMEs and up to 70% for SMEs.

  3. 3

    Overseas support is no longer limited to new markets

    MRA only funded markets where your annual sales had not exceeded S$100,000 in any of the preceding three years. From 2H 2026, support extends to deepening activities in existing overseas markets, so you can fund defending and growing an established presence.

  4. 4

    DTDi automatic cap raised to S$400,000

    Budget 2026 lifts the Double Tax Deduction for Internationalisation automatic expenditure cap from S$150,000 to S$400,000 per company from Year of Assessment 2027, allowing a 200% deduction on that expenditure alongside grant support.

  5. 5

    One activity-based application instead of three schemes

    Rather than choosing between PSG, EDG and MRA, you select the activity you intend to carry out — improving business efficiency, entering or deepening an overseas market, or enhancing digitalisation — and EDGE applies the relevant support level and vendor rules to it.

Practical decision framework

Should you apply now, or wait for EDGE?

The right timing depends on your specific project. Use this scenario-based framework to decide whether to submit under EDG or MRA before 29 September 2026, or scope your project for the EDGE window from 30 September 2026.

Scenario A — apply under EDG/MRA now

Large transformation projects

If your qualifying consultancy budget comfortably exceeds S$150,000 — multi-pillar brand restructuring, IP work, major regional rollouts — submit under EDG before 29 September 2026, where support is assessed per project rather than against the S$100k annual EDGE cap.

Scenario B — plan for EDGE

Deepening existing overseas markets

If MRA's past-sales rule blocked you in markets like Malaysia, Vietnam or Indonesia, support for deepening existing markets arrives from 2H 2026 — scope the project now and submit once EDGE opens on 30 September 2026.

Scenario C — non-SMEs and mid-caps

Corporate scale-ups above S$100M

Companies outside the SME thresholds under legacy EDG, MRA and PSG should scope projects now and submit from 30 September 2026, where non-SMEs can receive up to 50% support.

Verified vs speculative

What Enterprise Singapore has not yet confirmed about EDGE

Several guides have published granular EDGE details beyond what is officially confirmed. The following specifics are not yet published — treat any third-party claims on these points with caution until official guidelines appear on the Business Grants Portal.

  • The full list of qualifying activities and how they are grouped

    Enterprise Singapore has said supportable activities include improving business efficiencies, expanding into new markets and enhancing digitalisation, and that the full list publishes on the EDGE website or BizSG from 30 September 2026. Any itemised breakdown into a fixed number of business areas or activities circulating now is an interpretation, not official guidance.

  • When exactly the annual cap resets

    The S$100,000 annual cap and the S$30,000 digitalisation and automation sub-cap are confirmed, and the cap resets each year. Enterprise Singapore has not published the reset date, so treat claims of a specific date such as 1 April as unconfirmed.

  • Per-activity sub-caps beyond digitalisation

    Whether additional sub-caps apply to individual activities such as internationalisation, standards or sustainability has not been stated.

  • The pre-approved vendor and consultant lists

    Some activities will require vendors from a pre-approved list while others will not, but the consolidated EDGE vendor directory, accreditation criteria and any rules on changing vendors after submission are not yet released.

  • Assessment criteria and approval timelines

    Enterprise Singapore has said processing duration varies by activity and will be published at launch. How applications are scored, and whether approvals are first-come-first-served against the annual cap, is not confirmed.

  • Claims, milestones and disbursement mechanics

    The claim stages, supporting-document requirements and whether partial or milestone claims are allowed within a cap year have not been detailed.

  • Treatment of multi-year projects spanning two cap years

    Whether a project running across two cap years can draw on two S$100,000 caps, or is assessed against the cap of the year of approval, has not been clarified.

Frequently asked questions

QWhat happens to our existing EDG, MRA or PSG project if it finishes in 2027?

Approved projects are protected. Enterprise Singapore has confirmed that applications submitted before 30 September 2026 continue to be assessed under the rules of the relevant scheme, and ongoing projects are supported through to project completion and claim disbursement.

QCan we apply for EDGE if we already maxed out MRA in a particular market?

Past use of EDG, MRA or PSG does not disqualify you. Separately, from 2H 2026 support is being extended to deepening activities in existing overseas markets, not only entry into new ones — so the old MRA rule that blocked markets where you already had sales no longer shuts the door.

QHow does the S$30,000 digitalisation sub-cap work inside the S$100,000 EDGE cap?

Enterprise Singapore has confirmed that within each year's S$100,000 grant cap, up to S$30,000 can be used on single-function digital solutions, integrated enterprise systems and selected automation activities. The balance can be used on other eligible activities.

QCan we engage any vendor under EDGE, or must we use a pre-approved list?

It depends on the activity. Enterprise Singapore has said that activities with pre-approved vendors must use that list, while other activities allow you to appoint your own vendor. The detailed vendor lists and any rules on changing vendors after submission will be published at launch.

QShould we apply now under EDG/MRA or wait for EDGE?

Large consultancy-heavy transformation projects are often better submitted under EDG before 29 September 2026, because EDG is assessed project-by-project rather than against an annual S$100,000 cap. Non-SMEs, and companies wanting to deepen an existing overseas market, are generally better off planning for EDGE.
