What Happens to PSG After September 2026?
The Productivity Solutions Grant ends on 29 September 2026. This guide explains what replaces PSG, how your tools and software subscriptions transition to EDGE, the S$30,000 sub-cap, and what happens to your existing PSG claims — based exclusively on verified Enterprise Singapore sources.

The Short Answer: PSG Ends. EDGE Begins.
PSG Closes 29 Sept 2026
No new PSG applications will be accepted after 29 September 2026. This is a hard cutover — not a phase-out.
EDGE Opens 30 Sept 2026
The new EDGE Grant launches 30 September 2026 as the single consolidated pathway replacing EDG, MRA, and PSG.
Existing PSG Projects Protected
Applications submitted before 30 September 2026 continue under PSG rules. Approved projects proceed to completion and claim disbursement.
PSG-to-EDGE Software Migration & Sub-Cap Audit
PSG ceases on 29 September 2026. Test your software migration viability, model your S$30,000 Digitalisation sub-cap, and calculate your remaining S$70,000 strategic transformation headroom under EDGE.
What Was PSG — and Why It Mattered to SMEs
The Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG) was Enterprise Singapore's programme to co-fund Singapore SMEs adopting pre-scoped IT solutions, off-the-shelf software packages, and equipment to boost operational productivity. Unlike the EDG — which funded strategic management consulting projects — PSG funded the actual software licences and hardware.
PSG covered categories such as CRM systems, accounting software, HR and payroll platforms, point-of-sale systems, inventory management tools, and selected equipment. Vendors were pre-approved by IMDA and Enterprise Singapore, and SMEs selected from a catalogue of pre-scoped packages at fixed price points, with grant reimbursement applied against the subscription or purchase cost.
For many Singapore SMEs, PSG was their first and most transactional interaction with Enterprise Singapore grants — more accessible than the EDG because it required no strategic consulting engagement, just a qualifying vendor selection and BGP application.
How PSG Activities Are Absorbed into EDGE
PSG does not simply disappear. Its supportable activities are integrated directly into two EDGE business areas.
Automation
Selected automation activities previously supported under PSG — including equipment-based workflow automation, robotics, and process mechanisation tools — are now funded within EDGE's Automation business area.
Digitalisation
Pre-scoped IT solutions and off-the-shelf software (CRM, accounting, HR, POS systems) previously co-funded by PSG are absorbed under EDGE's Digitalisation business area. Single-function digital solutions, integrated enterprise systems, and related software adoption qualify here.
The S$30,000 Sub-Cap: What It Means for You
Under EDGE, each eligible company receives an annual grant cap of S$100,000 across all business areas. Of this, up to S$30,000 per year may be used specifically for:
- Single-function digital solutions (e.g. standalone CRM, accounting, HR software)
- Integrated enterprise systems (e.g. ERP and multi-module platforms)
- Selected automation activities (equipment and process mechanisation tools)
The remaining S$70,000 of the annual cap is available for higher-order business areas — Strategy, Innovation, Brand Development, Internationalisation, and Sustainability — where FT Synergist's advisory practice operates.
PSG-to-EDGE Transition Timeline
PSG Still Open
New PSG applications may still be submitted via the Business Grants Portal (BGP). If your project qualifies, this window remains open.
PSG Ceases
Last day of PSG. No new applications accepted from 30 September 2026 onwards under any of the three legacy schemes (EDG, MRA, PSG).
EDGE Launches
EDGE Grant becomes the sole pathway. Applications for Automation and Digitalisation (PSG-equivalent activities) transition to the unified EDGE framework.
Existing PSG Claims
Ongoing PSG projects proceed unaffected — assessments, claims, and disbursements continue under PSG rules until each project is completed.
PSG-to-EDGE: Verified Answers
All answers sourced directly from the Enterprise Singapore EDGE Grant FAQ.
Will PSG be available alongside EDGE after 30 September 2026?
No. PSG ceases on 29 September 2026. From 30 September 2026, EDGE is the sole application pathway. There is no parallel operation period between the two frameworks.
I submitted my PSG application before 29 September 2026. Will it still be processed?
Yes. PSG applications submitted before 30 September 2026 will continue to be assessed under PSG criteria. Your existing application is not affected by the transition to EDGE.
My PSG project is approved but not yet claimed. What happens?
Approved PSG projects proceed unaffected. You will continue to be supported until project completion and claim disbursement, even after EDGE launches. No action is required from your end — continue your project and submit claims per your PSG Letter of Offer.
Can a business that previously used PSG apply for EDGE from 30 September 2026?
Yes. Businesses that have previously applied for or received PSG funding are fully eligible to apply for the EDGE Grant from 30 September 2026.
Under EDGE, do I still choose from a pre-approved vendor list for digital tools?
For activities with pre-approved vendors (analogous to PSG's vendor catalogue mechanism), businesses will choose from assessed vendor lists under EDGE. The EDGE vendor framework details are expected to be published by EnterpriseSG at or near the 30 September 2026 launch.
What is the maximum I can claim under EDGE for digital tools that replaced PSG?
Under EDGE, the annual grant cap is S$100,000 per eligible company. Of this, up to S$30,000 per year may be used on single-function digital solutions, integrated enterprise systems, and selected automation activities — the activities that previously fell under PSG.
The Strategic Implication: PSG Was Transactional. EDGE Is Transformational.
PSG's architecture was intentionally transactional: choose a vendor, submit an application, receive reimbursement. No strategic advisory was required. This made it fast and accessible — but also narrow. PSG funded individual tool adoption, not the organisational change required to extract value from those tools.
EDGE changes this fundamentally. The S$30,000 Automation/Digitalisation sub-cap preserves tool-level accessibility, but it sits inside a broader S$100,000 annual grant framework designed for strategic transformation. Businesses that simply replicate their PSG approach inside EDGE will under-utilise the remaining S$70,000 of their annual cap.
The highest-value EDGE outcomes will go to businesses that combine PSG-equivalent tool adoption (Digitalisation/Automation) with higher-order strategic work: building the brand architecture, internationalisation roadmap, or innovation capability required to justify those tools at scale. That is where advisory guidance — rather than a vendor catalogue — becomes essential.
