EDGE consolidated grant framework (Budget 2026) – Documents required and templates

The EDGE consolidated grant framework is Enterprise Singapore’s unified business grant, announced under Budget 2026, that brings together the Enterprise Development Grant (EDG), Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG) and Market Readiness Assistance (MRA) grant into a single application track, and applicants need a core set of corporate, financial and project documents regardless of which legacy scheme their activity would previously have fallen under.

What is the EDGE consolidated grant framework?

EDGE consolidates three previously separate Enterprise Singapore schemes, EDG, PSG and MRA, into one framework with a single application portal and a phased H2 2026 launch timeline. The intent is to simplify grant access for SMEs who previously had to determine which of three overlapping schemes best matched their project, whether digital adoption, capability building, or overseas market entry.

Who is EDGE for?

EDGE suits Singapore-registered SMEs with at least 30% local shareholding undertaking a project that falls within the consolidated scope, whether adopting a pre-approved digital solution, building internal capabilities through a structured transformation project, or entering a new overseas market. Businesses already mid-application under the legacy EDG, PSG or MRA schemes should confirm with Enterprise Singapore how their existing application transitions under the new framework.

Documents required

Applicants typically need: (1) ACRA business profile confirming local shareholding and registration; (2) a project proposal identifying which consolidated track the activity falls under (digital adoption, capability transformation, or market access); (3) vendor or consultant quotations matched against the relevant pre-approved list or proposal scope; (4) latest financial statements confirming eligibility on turnover or group size; and (5) invoices and proof of payment at claim stage, together with deliverable evidence appropriate to the project type.

Cost and timeline

Funding support levels are expected to broadly track the legacy schemes’ ranges, commonly 30% to 50% of qualifying costs depending on project type and applicant profile, subject to Enterprise Singapore’s published caps. Application review is expected to take 3 to 6 weeks for straightforward projects, with the H2 2026 phased launch meaning processing timelines may vary as the framework rolls out across sectors.

Step-by-step process

1. Identify which consolidated track (digital adoption, capability transformation, or market access) matches the project. 2. Confirm eligibility on shareholding and financial thresholds. 3. Obtain vendor or consultant quotations for the proposed activity. 4. Submit the application via the Business Grants Portal under the EDGE framework. 5. On approval, carry out the project and retain all invoices, proof of payment and deliverable evidence. 6. Submit the disbursement claim within the prescribed timeframe.

Common mistakes

Applicants sometimes submit a proposal under a legacy scheme name (EDG, PSG or MRA) without confirming how that maps to the new EDGE track, causing processing delays during the transition period. Others fail to check whether their in-progress legacy application needs to be resubmitted or is automatically carried over. A further common error is assuming funding percentages and caps are identical to the legacy schemes before Enterprise Singapore confirms the final EDGE parameters for their sector.

FAQs

Does EDGE replace EDG, PSG and MRA completely?
EDGE consolidates these three schemes into a single framework under a phased H2 2026 launch; applicants should confirm the current status for their specific project type with Enterprise Singapore.

What happens to an existing EDG, PSG or MRA application?
Businesses with in-progress applications should confirm directly with Enterprise Singapore how their application transitions under EDGE.

How long does an EDGE application take?
Indicatively 3 to 6 weeks for review, broadly in line with the legacy schemes, though timelines may vary during the phased rollout.

Who is eligible for EDGE?
Singapore-registered SMEs with at least 30% local shareholding undertaking a qualifying digital adoption, capability transformation or market access project.

Can EDGE be combined with other government support?
Applicants should check with Enterprise Singapore on stacking rules to avoid double-funding the same cost item across schemes.
