Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG) Transition to EDGE
Understanding how the Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG) is integrated alongside EDG and MRA into the unified EDGE framework.
PSG Folded into the EDGE Framework
Historically, the Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG) supported businesses adopting pre-scoped IT solutions, software, and equipment to enhance productivity. Alongside EDG and MRA, PSG will officially cease on 29 September 2026.
Starting 30 September 2026, businesses will no longer apply for PSG as an independent grant. Its supportable activities are unified directly into EDGE under the Automation and Digitalisation business areas.
S$30,000 Digital Solutions & Systems Allocation
Under the consolidated EDGE framework, each eligible company has a total annual grant cap of up to S$100,000 across all activities combined.
Within this annual S$100,000 grant cap, companies can utilize up to S$30,000 specifically on single-function digital solutions, integrated enterprise systems, and selected automation activities—preserving the accessibility of essential operational tools previously subsidized under PSG.
Pre-Approved Vendors vs. Appointed Consultants
For activities with pre-approved vendors (similar to the classic PSG mechanism), businesses choose from assessed vendor lists.
For strategic capability upgrade projects (such as Business Strategy, Innovation, and Internationalisation), businesses may engage qualified external consultants. Note that change requests for vendors after submission are not permitted under EDGE—projects must be terminated and reapplied if vendors change.
Existing PSG Submissions & Claims Processing
Any PSG application submitted before 30 September 2026 will continue to be evaluated against PSG criteria.
Approved PSG projects proceed unaffected until project completion and claim disbursement. After 29 September 2026, no new PSG submissions will be accepted, and all new productivity requests transition to EDGE.

The EDGE Grant unifies more than 100 supportable activities across 8 dedicated business areas under one annual grant cap.

The applicant must be a business entity registered and operating in Singapore.
Min. 30% Local Shareholding

Note: Other activity-specific requirements may apply depending on the selected project type under the 8 business areas.
Should You Apply Now, or Wait for EDGE?
The right timing depends on your specific project. Use this scenario-based framework to decide.
Your project is ready now and fits current EDG, MRA, or PSG criteria
Apply NowEDG, MRA, and PSG remain fully open on the Business Grants Portal until 29 September 2026. Their requirements are established and processing continues as normal. Delaying carries real risk: EDGE's individual activity funding percentages and documentation requirements have not yet been published. For most projects that are ready to go, applying now under known rules is the lower-risk path.
Your project involves deepening an existing overseas market (not a new one)
Consider WaitingMRA currently requires a “new market” criterion — support is tied to entering a market you have not previously operated in. EDGE removes this restriction entirely, and raises overseas expansion support from 50% to 70% for SMEs. If your project is about deepening an existing overseas presence, timing your application around the EDGE launch on 30 September 2026 could be the stronger commercial decision — provided your timeline has flexibility of a few months.
Your business is a non-SME (larger enterprise or MNC)
Prepare Now — Apply at EDGE LaunchNon-SMEs are currently excluded from EDG, PSG, and MRA support in most cases. EDGE extends eligibility to all Singapore-registered businesses, including non-SMEs, at up to 50% of qualifying project costs. Use the period before 30 September 2026 to scope your projects, gather cost estimates, and identify which capability-building, productivity, or internationalisation activities to fund — so you are ready to apply the moment EDGE opens.
