PSG vs EDGE Grant: What Changes in 2026
Budget 2026 announced that PSG, EDG and MRA will be consolidated into a single EDGE grant launching in the second half of 2026. If you were planning a PSG application, here is the practical comparison.
The current PSG rules at a glance
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, capped at S$30,000 per company per year.
Two rules catch many applicants: the solution must be used in Singapore, and you must not have signed with or paid your vendor before applying.
What Budget 2026 changes
Budget 2026 announced that PSG, EDG and MRA will be consolidated into a single grant — EDGE — launching in the second half of 2026. The existing schemes remain in force until then. MRA support for SMEs is enhanced to 70% (1 April 2026 – 31 March 2029), and non-SMEs gain access to internationalization support at up to 50% under EDGE.
EDGE's final eligibility criteria have not been published, so the safest way to plan is to check your position under the current rules and against EDGE as announced, side by side.
How to compare your position under both
Because EDGE's final criteria are unpublished, the honest comparison is: your assessment under today's PSG rules, and your assessment under EDGE as announced. That is exactly what our checker returns — with the rule version cited on every answer.
Apply now or wait for EDGE?
If you qualify under today's PSG rules and have a concrete solution to buy, applying under known rules is generally the lower-risk path. Waiting means applying under criteria that are not yet final.
If you do not qualify today, the announced EDGE changes may or may not alter your position — run the free check to see both regimes side by side.
