PSG Has Closed: What the EDGE Grant Covers Now
The Productivity Solutions Grant stopped taking applications on 29 September 2026, and the EDGE Grant replaced it the next day. What EDGE pays for digital tools, its S$30,000 digital cap, the one rule that voids an application, and why SFEC no longer tops it up.
The Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG) closed to new applications on 29 September 2026. Enterprise Singapore replaced it the next day with the EDGE Grant, which folds PSG, the Enterprise Development Grant and the Market Readiness Assistance grant into one scheme. For digital tools, EDGE pays up to 50% for SMEs, inside a S$30,000 yearly digital cap.
A lot of pages still describe PSG as if it's open, so here's what actually changed, taken straight from Enterprise Singapore's own pages and FAQ.
Is the PSG grant still available?
No. Enterprise Singapore's page says it plainly: "EDG, MRA and PSG ceased on 29 September 2026. From 30 September onwards, apply for business grant support under the EDGE Grant."
If you applied before 30 September, nothing changes for you. The FAQ says those applications "will continue to be assessed based on the requirements of the relevant scheme", and ongoing projects carry on until completion and payout. You still submit the claim through the Business Grants Portal once the project is done.
What is the EDGE Grant?
EDGE is one grant that covers 8 business areas and over 150 activities: automation and digitalisation, business strategy, financial management, innovation, internationalisation, standards and sustainability. Instead of separate pots for software, projects and overseas expansion, every company now gets one shared cap of S$100,000 a year across all of it, refreshed on 1 April.
The headline on the EDGE page says "up to 70% for SMEs", and that number needs reading carefully. The FAQ spells out the split: up to 50% for SMEs and 30% for larger firms on most activities, with the 70% rate reserved for internationalisation and sustainability work. If you're buying a digital tool, plan on 50%.
To qualify, the business has to be registered in Singapore with at least 30% of it owned by Singapore Citizens or PRs. An SME is a company with group turnover of no more than S$100 million or no more than 200 workers.
How much does EDGE pay for digital tools?
Up to S$30,000 a year. Within the S$100,000 overall cap, single-function digital solutions, integrated enterprise systems and pre-scoped equipment share a S$30,000 limit between them.
Each solution then has its own ceiling. The single-function list currently runs to 40 categories, including customer relationship management, e-commerce, an AI accounting automation line and digital marketing. The digital marketing category is a good example of how tight these are.
It covers "digital marketing campaign management solutions", meaning software, with the cost capped at S$10,000, so an SME gets at most S$5,000 back. Only software costs count, for up to 12 months. GST and maintenance are excluded, home-based businesses can't apply, and the vendor has to be one of the pre-approved ones listed on IMDA's SMEs Go Digital platform, which holds over 300 pre-approved solutions. The upside is speed. The page promises an answer in a week.
Here's how it compares with what PSG offered.
| PSG (closed 29 Sep 2026) | EDGE (from 30 Sep 2026) | |
|---|---|---|
| Support for SME digital tools | Up to 50% | Up to 50% |
| Yearly cap | S$30,000 | S$30,000 for digital, inside S$100,000 for everything |
| Where the vendor list lives | PSG pre-approved solutions | IMDA SMEs Go Digital |
| Paying before you apply | Voids the application | Voids the application |
| SkillsFuture Enterprise Credit top-up | Yes | No |
| How the money arrives | Paid out after the claim is approved | Paid out after completion, full payment and claim approval |
What voids an EDGE application?
Paying anything before you apply. The FAQ is strict on this: you "must not have started work or made any payment or deposit to a supplier, vendor, or third party prior to application submission", and an application that breaks it is treated as retrospective and not supported.
One rule does work in your favour. Once your application is submitted, you're allowed to buy the solution before approval comes back, and that payment can be covered if you're approved. The FAQ adds that "submission does not guarantee approval", so if it's rejected, the cost is yours.
Two more rules catch people. EDGE won't fund an expense that another government grant has already approved. And on activity pages such as the digital marketing one, Enterprise Singapore says third-party companies aren't permitted to apply for or manage the grant for you, so a vendor can't apply on your behalf.
Can I still use the SkillsFuture Enterprise Credit with EDGE?
No. Under PSG, the SkillsFuture Enterprise Credit (SFEC) could cover most of what you still paid after the grant. EDGE's FAQ says "EDGE will not be supportable under SFEC."
The current SFEC also ends soon. Final claims are due by 30 November 2026, and courses have to finish by that date to count. A redesigned SFEC launches on 1 December 2026 with a fresh S$10,000 credit in an online wallet for training and workforce programmes, according to SkillsFuture Singapore's information memorandum. I've laid out how SFEC, EDGE and the 400% tax deductions fit together in my guide to every scheme that funds a company's AI.
What doesn't EDGE pay for?
The digital lines fund software. The digital marketing grant pays half of up to S$10,000 of campaign software for a year, and nothing for the people who plan your marketing, make the content or run the ads. Even then, the money comes back as a reimbursement, after the project is finished and paid in full.
That gap is the work SCALR does. We're not an EDGE vendor, so none of it is grant-claimable: you pay us directly, there's no approval cycle to wait on, and you own what we build. If a tool you were already buying is on the SMEs Go Digital list, apply for EDGE first and get half of it back, and apply before you pay a cent. If what you need is the marketing or the AI set-up done, that's what we do.
Key takeaways
- PSG, EDG and MRA closed on 29 September 2026, and the EDGE Grant replaced all three on 30 September.
- EDGE pays up to 50% for SMEs on most activities, within one S$100,000 yearly cap that resets on 1 April. The 70% rate is only for internationalisation and sustainability.
- Digital tools share a S$30,000 yearly cap, and each category has its own ceiling: digital marketing software tops out at S$5,000 for an SME.
- Any payment or deposit before you apply voids the application, but you can pay after submitting, at your own risk.
- The SkillsFuture Enterprise Credit no longer tops up the grant, and the current credit expires on 30 November 2026.
FAQ
Is the Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG) still open in Singapore?
No. The PSG closed to new applications on 29 September 2026, along with the Enterprise Development Grant and the Market Readiness Assistance grant. From 30 September 2026, Enterprise Singapore takes applications for business grant support under the EDGE Grant instead.
Can I still claim a PSG project I applied for before it closed?
Yes. PSG applications submitted before 30 September 2026 are still assessed under PSG's rules, and ongoing PSG projects carry on until completion and payout, according to Enterprise Singapore. You submit the claim on the Business Grants Portal once the project is complete.
How much does the EDGE Grant pay SMEs for digital solutions?
Up to 50% of qualifying costs for SMEs, within a S$30,000 yearly cap for single-function digital solutions, integrated enterprise systems and pre-scoped equipment. That S$30,000 sits inside EDGE's overall S$100,000 yearly cap, which resets every 1 April.
Does the EDGE Grant cover digital marketing in Singapore?
Yes, for software. EDGE's Digital Marketing activity funds up to 50% of digital marketing campaign management software for SMEs, with the cost capped at S$10,000, so the most an SME receives is S$5,000. Only software costs for up to 12 months count, and the vendor must be pre-approved on IMDA's SMEs Go Digital platform.
Can I use the SkillsFuture Enterprise Credit (SFEC) with the EDGE Grant?
No. Enterprise Singapore's EDGE FAQ states that EDGE will not be supportable under SFEC. The current SFEC can still be used on eligible training until 30 November 2026, and a redesigned SFEC with a fresh S$10,000 credit for workforce training launches on 1 December 2026.
