The EDGE grant, tracked: what is confirmed and what is not

Singapore is merging PSG, EDG and MRA into a single grant called EDGE. Most of what businesses need in order to plan around it has not been announced. This page records what has been, keeps the two apart, and is updated when that changes.

Current status

Last updated:

Enterprise Singapore has not announced a launch date. PSG, EDG and MRA remain open. No transition rules have been published for applications submitted before EDGE launches.

PSOI Tech is a software studio, not a grant consultant. This is a plain-English summary of public announcements, not advice, and no engagement here is represented as eligible for any scheme. Confirm anything that affects a decision through Enterprise Singapore and the GoBusiness portal.

What is confirmed, and what is not

The second column is longer than the first. That is the accurate picture of where EDGE stands, and it is the reason a business cannot yet plan a project around it.

Announced

The three schemes are merging into one
The Productivity Solutions Grant, the Enterprise Development Grant and Market Readiness Assistance are being consolidated into a single grant called EDGE.
It launches in the second half of 2026
Enterprise Singapore has stated the second half of 2026 as the launch window. That is a window, not a date.
Support is up to S$100,000 per year
Up to S$100,000 per year for eligible activities, with assessment case by case above that figure.
PSG, EDG and MRA are still open
All three schemes remain open and operating in the meantime. Nothing has closed to make way for EDGE.

Not announced

The launch date
No date has been announced. The second half of 2026 covers six months, and a project planned around the start of that window is planning around something nobody has stated.
Who will be eligible
Final eligibility rules have not been published. Whether the current requirements carry over unchanged, tighten or widen is not known.
What proportion of a cost is covered
No support percentages have been published. Without them, the S$100,000 figure cannot be turned into a project size — a ceiling on support is not a ceiling on project cost.
How you apply
The application route has not been published, including whether it stays on the Business Grants Portal and what documentation an application will need.
What happens to applications already in flight
No transition treatment has been published. If you apply under EDG or PSG now and EDGE launches while your application is being assessed, what happens to it has not been stated.
How the S$100,000 is counted
Whether the figure is per company, per activity, or across all activities in a year has not been published, and neither has what triggers the case-by-case assessment above it.

What this means for a software build

Most coverage of the merger is written for branding, marketing and corporate services work. This is the same merger read from the position of a business planning custom software.

PSG never funded a custom build

The Productivity Solutions Grant supports adoption of pre-approved solutions from a fixed list. A bespoke application does not qualify because it is bespoke, however well it fits the business. Buyers discover this regularly, usually after scoping a build.

If you were planning custom software, PSG was never the scheme you were applying to.

EDG is where custom development sat

The Enterprise Development Grant supports broader capability and business transformation projects. Custom software work — process redesign, workflow automation, systems integration, building a tool that does not exist off the shelf — sits there rather than under PSG.

So for a business weighing a build, the relevant scheme has been EDG, and the relevant question about EDGE is what happens to the EDG side of the merger.

Whether EDGE keeps that distinction is unknownUnknown

The two schemes drew a clear line: buy a listed product, or commission work that does not exist yet. Those are different things to assess, and they were assessed separately.

Nothing has been published about whether EDGE keeps that line, replaces it with activity categories that cut across it, or treats a custom build differently from a subscription to a listed product. This is the single most consequential unknown for anyone planning a build, and it is genuinely unanswered.

The S$100,000 figure cannot be sized yetUnknown

S$100,000 per year is a ceiling on support, not on project cost. What project size it corresponds to depends entirely on the support percentage, and no support percentage has been published.

Any figure you have seen for what EDGE will buy is arithmetic performed on an unpublished number.

Apply now, or wait?

This is the question people are actually searching, so here is what sits on each side of it. None of the following is a recommendation, and the third list is the one most summaries leave out.

On the side of applying now

  • The current schemes are open, and their terms are published. You can read the eligibility rules, the supportable costs and the support levels before you commit to anything.
  • You are assessed against rules that exist. A new scheme has no processing history, and its guidance will be thin at launch.
  • The business problem does not pause. If a process is costing money every month, that cost runs whether or not a scheme is mid-transition.

On the side of waiting

  • One application instead of three schemes to choose between. If your project spans software and something else, the current split can mean two applications under two sets of rules.
  • EDGE's terms might suit your project better. They might also suit it worse. Neither can be checked yet.
  • If your project genuinely is not ready — no scope, no costed breakdown, no measured baseline — the timing question is not the one in front of you.

What cannot be known either way

  • Whether EDGE is better or worse for your specific project. That depends on the support percentage and the eligibility rules, and neither has been published.
  • What happens to an application submitted before launch. No transition treatment has been stated, so this is a real risk on the apply-now side rather than an assumed one.

Whichever way it goes, the preparation is the same, because both schemes assess the same underlying thing: whether this is a real project with a defined outcome, a costed breakdown and a measured baseline to change. That work is worth doing before the answer arrives, and the SME software buyer’s guide covers what to settle first.

Questions

01When does the EDGE grant launch?

Enterprise Singapore has said the second half of 2026. No specific launch date has been announced. Anyone naming a month is not working from a published source.

02Can I still apply for PSG, EDG or MRA right now?

Yes. All three schemes remain open and operating until EDGE launches. Nothing has closed in advance of the merger.

03What happens to my application if EDGE launches while it is being assessed?

This has not been published. No transition treatment has been stated for applications submitted before EDGE launches. If your decision depends on the answer, ask Enterprise Singapore directly about your specific case rather than working from any summary, including this one.

04Will EDGE cover custom software development?

Not confirmed. Custom development currently sits under EDG rather than PSG, because PSG funds pre-approved off-the-shelf solutions and never bespoke work. Whether EDGE keeps that distinction, and how it will treat a commissioned build, has not been published.

05How much of my project will EDGE pay for?

No support percentages have been published. Support is up to S$100,000 per year for eligible activities, with case-by-case assessment above that, but the proportion of a given cost that figure represents is not yet known.

06Is S$100,000 the most a company can receive?

Up to S$100,000 per year is the announced figure for eligible activities, with assessment case by case above it. Whether that is counted per company, per activity or across all activities in a year has not been published.

Changelog

Every check of this page is recorded here, newest first, including the checks that found nothing had changed. A gap in these dates means nobody has looked, which is worth knowing.

  1. Page published. Position as at this date: the merger and the second-half-of-2026 window are announced, the S$100,000 per year figure is announced, and nothing else is — no date, no eligibility rules, no support percentages, no application route, no transition treatment.

If you are preparing an application

Both schemes assess a defined project rather than an intention. A planning & scoping engagement produces the scope, technical approach and costed breakdown an assessment needs, and the same document is what makes the build itself quotable. Published range: S$950–S$2,500.
