EDGE Grant: What Budget 2026 Means for Your SME
Budget 2026 announced that Singapore's three workhorse SME grants — PSG, EDG and MRA — will be consolidated into a single grant called EDGE, launching in the second half of 2026. Here is what is changing, what stays the same for now, and how to decide whether to apply today or wait.
What was announced
At Budget 2026, the Government announced that the Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG), the Enterprise Development Grant (EDG) and the Market Readiness Assistance (MRA) grant will be consolidated into one grant — EDGE — launching in the second half of 2026.
Until EDGE launches, the existing schemes remain in force. If you qualify for PSG today, you can still apply today under the current rules.
What changes alongside the consolidation
Two related changes were announced. First, MRA support for SMEs is enhanced to 70% for the period 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029. Second, non-SMEs gain access to internationalization support at up to 50% under EDGE — support that was previously targeted at SMEs.
The final EDGE eligibility criteria have not been published. Our assessments therefore evaluate your company against the current PSG rules and, separately, against EDGE as announced — and show you exactly what changes for you.
PSG today: the rules that still apply
Under the current PSG rules, a company generally qualifies if it is registered and operating in Singapore, has at least 30% local shareholding, and meets the SME definition — group annual revenue of not more than S$100 million, or not more than 200 employees. Support is at 50% of qualifying costs, subject to an annual cap of S$30,000 per company.
One rule catches many applicants: if you have already signed a contract with, or paid, your vendor before applying, your application will be rejected. Apply first, commit after.
The solution you purchase must also be used in Singapore.
Should you apply now or wait for EDGE?
If you qualify under the current PSG rules and have a concrete solution to buy, applying now under known rules is generally the lower-risk path — the current schemes remain in force until EDGE launches, and waiting means applying under criteria that have not been finalized.
If you do not qualify today — for example, on the local-shareholding requirement — the announced EDGE changes may or may not affect you. Run the free check to see your position under both regimes side by side.
How GrantGo SG fits in
GrantGo SG is software, not a consultancy. Instead of paying S$3,000–S$5,000 for a consultant, you answer a short questionnaire and get a deterministic, rule-version-cited eligibility assessment in minutes — including an EDGE-transition summary — and can generate a completed Business Grants Portal document pack for S$99.
Every assessment cites the exact rule version it was evaluated against, and our rulesets are updated when EnterpriseSG publishes changes.
