What government grants are available for SMEs in Singapore?

The main one is EDGE, which brings PSG, EDG and MRA together and supports up to 50% of eligible costs for an SME, or 70% for overseas expansion and sustainability. For training and new ways of working, the NTUC CTC Grant and WDG JR+ support up to 70%. The full list is above.

Is the PSG grant still available?

No. PSG is now merged under EDGE. Enterprise Singapore stopped taking PSG applications on 29 September 2026. Our PSG guide explains what a ready-made tool gets now.

What is the EDGE grant?

EDGE is Enterprise Singapore's grant for business growth, open since 30 September 2026. You pick an activity, such as a digital tool, a large digital project or overseas market entry, and apply once for each.

How much grant can an SME get in Singapore?

Under EDGE, up to S$100,000 a year across all activities, at up to 50% of eligible costs, or 70% for overseas expansion and sustainability. A large digital project is assessed case by case, outside that cap.

Can I apply for more than one grant?

Yes, for different costs. A cost that one grant supports cannot be supported again under another. Under EDGE you send one application for each activity.

What counts as an SME for grants in Singapore?

For EDGE, a company with group sales of up to S$100 million a year, or up to 200 workers. The group includes companies that own more than half of yours, and companies yours owns more than half of.

Is there a grant for AI in Singapore?

Yes. EDGE supports ready-made AI tools, such as an AI chatbot for up to S$7,500 of support, and larger AI projects case by case. The Enterprise Innovation Scheme also gives a 400% tax deduction on the first S$50,000 of AI spending a year. Our grant check names the one that fits your project.

Do I apply before or after I sign with a vendor?

Before. Enterprise Singapore does not support work you started or paid for before you applied, so apply first and sign after the grant is approved.

The rules that come up again and again

For EDGE: registered in Singapore and at least 30% owned by Singaporeans or PRs.

An SME under EDGE has group sales of up to S$100 million a year, or up to 200 workers. A larger company gets a lower support level.

You apply before you start or pay for the work. Work you started or paid for before you apply is not supported.

Startup SG Founder asks for more: at least 51% local ownership and a first-time founder.

The NTUC CTC Grant sets no local ownership rule. A company registered in Singapore can apply.

Dates to plan around

30 November 2026. Final claims on the current SkillsFuture Enterprise Credit. A course must finish by then.

1 December 2026. A fresh S$10,000 SkillsFuture Enterprise Credit for workforce transformation starts. The first EDGE claims open, for single-function digital tools.

1 January 2027. Claims open for the other EDGE activities.

How to apply for most of them

FirstFind the grant that fits the project. For an AI project, take our grant check.

Before you signGet the vendor's quotation, then apply. Do not sign or pay first, because Enterprise Singapore does not support work you started or paid for before you applied.

On the portalApply on the Business Grants Portal with your company's Corppass. EDGE, WDG JR+ and the Energy Efficiency Grant go on the new portal, BGP 2.0.

After approvalAccept the Letter of Offer, run the project, then claim. Your own staff submit and accept. A vendor cannot do it for you.

What to have ready

A Corppass account with the BGP Preparer or BGP Acceptor role for the person who applies.

For a ready-made tool: a quotation from a pre-approved vendor.

For a large custom project: a project proposal, last year's financial statements and three years of projections.

Where applications go wrong

Signing a contract or paying a deposit before you apply. The work is then not supported.

Asking the vendor to apply. Under EDGE your own staff must submit, with your Corppass.

Applying for a closed scheme. PSG, EDG and MRA stopped on 29 September 2026, so new applications go under EDGE.
