EDGE cutover: EDG, PSG and MRA closed 29 Sep 2026
Enterprise Singapore consolidated three grant schemes into one: 29 September 2026 was the last day for new EDG, PSG and MRA applications. Every new business grant application now runs through the unified EDGE Grant.
Scheme status right now
- EDG (Enterprise Development Grant). Closed: no new applications after 29 Sep 2026. Filed before 30 Sep? Assessed under EDG rules, unaffected.
- PSG (Productivity Solutions Grant). Closed: same cutover. IT/equipment purchases now go the EDGE route.
- MRA (Market Readiness Assistance). Closed: same cutover. Overseas expansion plans filed before 30 Sep stay on MRA terms.
- EDGE Grant. Open now: the single application pathway, part of the Business Refresh Package. Everything new goes here.
The consolidation is administrative, not a funding cut. One process replaces three sets of forms, criteria and support tiers. Ongoing submissions and projects under the legacy names continue to be processed, and claims proceed on completion.
What to do now
- Missed the legacy window? Do not chase closed schemes. Scope your project against the live EDGE criteria on the Business Grants Portal instead.
- Do NOT pay deposits or sign the project agreement before applying. Committed spend generally kills eligibility under EDGE, as it did under every legacy scheme.
- Filed before 30 Sep? Nothing to do. Your application keeps its scheme rules through assessment, completion and claims.
- Unsure where your project fits? A grant eligibility screen (S$390) maps your project against the live criteria with citations, before a deposit makes the question moot.
Cutover questions, answered
When did EDG, PSG and MRA close?
New applications closed after 29 September 2026. EDGE is now the sole pathway for new business grant support.
What happens to my ongoing application?
It continues. Applications filed before 30 September are assessed under their original scheme, projects run to completion, and claims are submitted as normal.
What kills eligibility before applying?
Paying a deposit or signing the agreement before the application goes in. File first, then sign and pay. Under every scheme.
