Enterprise Development Grant (EDG)
Open continuously
No deadline — apply whenever you are ready.
Support level, not a fixed cap: from 1 April 2023 SMEs can receive up to 50% support for EDG; sustainability-related projects are supported at up to 70%. EDG funds qualifying project costs, namely third-party consultancy fees, software and equipment, and internal manpower cost. There is no published per-project ceiling; the award follows the approved project cost. Projects are supported on a reimbursement basis.
You must co-fund 50%.
Enterprise Singapore (EnterpriseSG)
public · national
Deadline: rolling — Open continuously on the Business Grants Portal; each complete application takes approximately 8-12 weeks to process. Note: EnterpriseSG states that EDGE launches in 2H2026 and that existing grants (EDG, MRA, PSG) remain accessible until that launch, so this scheme is expected to be superseded.
This funder does not publish a success rate. We rank it using the rate observed across similar programmes and label it as an estimate rather than implying we know.
Major bid — written case, budget, possibly partners.
You fund 50% yourself.
