Nothing has been published about this.
That is the honest answer, and it is worth stating first, because most of what you will read on the subject is written as though the answer is known. Enterprise Singapore has said that PSG, EDG and Market Readiness Assistance are being consolidated into a single grant called EDGE, and that EDGE launches in the second half of 2026. It has not published what happens to an application submitted under the current schemes before that date.
Not "it will probably be fine". Not "applications will be honoured". Those are guesses, and repeating them confidently does not make them true.
We keep a running record of what has and has not been announced about EDGE, updated as that changes. This post is about the specific gap that causes the most anxiety.
Why the silence matters more than it looks
There is a natural assumption that an application submitted under one set of rules is assessed under those rules. It is a reasonable assumption. It is also, right now, only an assumption.
The gap matters because of when applications get decided. Assessment is not instant, and a submission made close to the transition could plausibly still be open when EDGE arrives. What happens in that window — whether it continues under the scheme it was filed under, whether it is reassessed, whether anything changes at all — has not been stated.
For most businesses this will turn out to be uneventful. That is not the point. The point is that if your decision to commit budget depends on the answer, you are currently making that decision on an unpublished variable, and you should know that you are.
What this does to the "apply now or wait" question
It cuts both ways, and most summaries only tell you one side.
The usual framing is that applying now is the safe option and waiting is the gamble. But if transition treatment is unpublished, applying now carries an unquantified risk too — not a large one, on any reasonable reading, but not a zero one either. It is not the risk-free choice it is often presented as.
Equally, waiting is not made safer by this. A business that waits is exposed to a different set of unknowns: the eligibility rules, the support percentages and the application route are all unpublished as well.
Neither option is clean. Anyone telling you otherwise is filling in blanks that Enterprise Singapore has left empty.
What you can actually control
The unknowns are not evenly distributed. Some of this is genuinely outside your hands, and some of it is not.
Apply under terms you can read. PSG, EDG and MRA all remain open, and their published criteria, supportable costs and support levels are available today. Whatever else is uncertain, you can know what you are being assessed against right now. That is not true of EDGE yet.
Ask about your own case, in writing. A general summary — including this one — cannot tell you how a specific application will be handled. Enterprise Singapore and the Business Grants Portal can speak to your circumstances in a way no article can. If the answer changes your decision, get it from them and keep it.
Keep your submission records. Dates, reference numbers, correspondence, the version of the scope you submitted against. If any question arises later about which terms applied to your application, the useful thing to have is a clear record of what you filed and when.
Do not pay a vendor first. Under the current schemes, an application must be submitted before payment or deposit. Whatever EDGE does with in-flight applications, nothing about the transition makes it safer to pay early — and paying first remains the most common way businesses disqualify themselves from support they would otherwise have received.
Make the project stand up without the grant. If the project only makes sense with support, then an unpublished transition rule is not your real problem. A build that is worth doing at full cost is a build that survives whatever the answer turns out to be.
What would have to be announced for this to resolve
So you know what to watch for, rather than refreshing a page indefinitely. The question is settled when Enterprise Singapore publishes any of:
- Explicit transition treatment for applications submitted before launch
- A cut-off date after which the current schemes stop accepting applications
- Whether an open application at launch continues under its original scheme
- Whether any resubmission is required, and on what terms
Until one of those appears, the position is unchanged, and anyone claiming otherwise is not working from an announcement. We record each of these on the EDGE grant tracker as they are published.
Frequently asked questions
Will my EDG application still be valid when EDGE launches? This has not been published. The existing schemes remain open and are accepting applications, but no transition treatment has been stated for applications that are still being assessed when EDGE arrives. Ask Enterprise Singapore about your specific case.
Should I withdraw my application and reapply under EDGE? There is no basis to make that decision on yet. EDGE's eligibility rules and support percentages have not been published, so there is nothing to compare your current application against.
Is there a deadline for applying under PSG or EDG? None has been announced. All three schemes remain open, and no cut-off date for applications has been published.
Who can give me a definitive answer? Enterprise Singapore, about your own application. Not a summary, not a consultant's blog post, and not this page.

Whichever way the timing goes, an application is assessed on a defined project: written scope, a costed breakdown and a measured baseline. A Planning & Scoping engagement produces exactly that document, and it is the same one that makes the build itself quotable.
