PSG grant in Singapore: what changed and what applies now

In short: The PSG has closed. Enterprise Singapore stopped new PSG, EDG and MRA applications at the end of September 2026, and support now runs through the EDGE Grant, launched on 30 September 2026. PSG applications submitted before then are still assessed under the old rules, and ongoing projects can still claim.

The Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG) has closed to new applications. Enterprise Singapore’s EDGE Grant page states that EDG, MRA and PSG ceased on 29 September 2026, and its EDGE FAQ says that after 30 September 2026 no new application will be accepted under these schemes. If you are buying software or equipment now, the scheme to look at is the EDGE Grant, which launched on 30 September 2026. If you submitted a PSG application before the cut-off, it carries on under the original PSG rules.

What PSG was

PSG helped Singapore businesses adopt ready-made IT solutions and equipment to improve productivity. Typical purchases included accounting software, HR and payroll systems, point-of-sale systems, CRM tools, cybersecurity products and websites. Businesses usually picked a pre-approved package from a listed vendor, applied on the Business Grants Portal, and claimed part of the cost back after the project was completed and paid for.

Many searchers still type “PSG grant” because vendors used the name in their marketing for years. The useful question now is what applies to a new purchase.

What happens to existing PSG applications

Enterprise Singapore’s FAQ sets out the transition:

• Applications already submitted. PSG applications submitted before 30 September 2026 continue to be assessed under their original scheme requirements.
• Projects in progress. Ongoing projects are not affected and are supported until project completion and claim disbursement. Submit your claim when the project is complete, as you would have before.
• SkillsFuture Enterprise Credit. Programmes under these schemes supported by SFEC must have final claims submitted by 30 November 2026. EDGE is not supportable under SFEC.
• Applying again. A business that received PSG funding can apply for EDGE, but not for the same project. Earlier PSG, EDG and MRA amounts do not count towards the EDGE cap.

If you are unsure about the status of an application, check it on the Business Grants Portal rather than relying on a vendor’s summary.

What EDGE offers instead

EDGE combines the support that used to sit under three schemes. Enterprise Singapore describes eight business areas covering more than 150 activities, including Automation and Digitalisation, Business Strategy, Financial Management, Innovation, Internationalisation, Standards and Sustainability.

Support levels

• Up to 50% of qualifying costs for SMEs and up to 30% for non-SMEs on standard activities.
• Up to 70% for SMEs and up to 50% for non-SMEs on internationalisation and sustainability activities.

Enterprise Singapore says support levels vary by activity, so confirm the rate on the activity page before you budget.

Caps

• Annual cap. S$100,000 per company per year across all eligible activities. The year runs from 1 April to 31 March, and the cap resets each April.
• Sub-cap for ready-made solutions. Up to S$30,000 of that S$100,000 can go towards single-function digital solutions, integrated enterprise systems and pre-scoped equipment. This is the part of EDGE closest to what PSG used to cover.

The FAQ also notes that selected single-function digital solutions and integrated enterprise systems are limited to one application per UEN, so choose carefully. You can estimate your share with our EDGE grant calculator.

Who can apply

The applicant must be a business entity registered in Singapore with at least 30% Singaporean or permanent resident shareholding. Other requirements may apply depending on the activity. An SME, for EDGE, has group annual sales of no more than S$100 million or group employment of no more than 200. Eligibility must still be met when you claim.

How to check whether a solution qualifies now

A PSG listing does not make a solution eligible for a new EDGE application. Check instead:

1. The activity. Find the relevant activity on Enterprise Singapore’s EDGE pages or the BizSG recommender.
2. Single-function solutions. Enterprise Singapore points businesses to IMDA’s SMEs Go Digital platform to browse vendors and solutions. It also has the breakdown of supportable cost components.
3. Integrated systems. For an integrated ERP, you can use a pre-approved vendor’s package or your own vendor. The solution needs at least three core functions. Enterprise Singapore quotes about one week of processing for a pre-approved vendor and about ten weeks otherwise.
4. Ask the vendor directly. Ask which EDGE activity their package falls under, what the supportable cost components are, and what documents they will provide for your application.

If nothing suitable is listed, Enterprise Singapore suggests speaking to an SME Centre.

How to apply under EDGE

1. Get a quotation for the package you want, without paying anything or starting work.
2. Check documents. Required documents depend on the activity. For Automation and Digitalisation, you need a current tenancy agreement for the location where the solution will be used.
3. Apply on the Business Grants Portal. Someone with the Corppass BGP Preparer or Acceptor role submits it. Vendors cannot apply on your behalf.
4. Wait for the Letter of Offer. Paying after submission but before approval may be supported if you are approved, but the risk is yours.
5. Implement and pay in full. Keep the unique identifier, such as a licence number or user ID, as it is a project deliverable.
6. Submit one final claim. EDGE pays by reimbursement only. Enterprise Singapore says claims for single-function solutions, integrated systems and pre-scoped equipment open from 1 November 2026.

Common mistakes

• Paying a deposit first. Enterprise Singapore treats an application as retrospective if work has started or any payment or deposit has been made before you submit. Retrospective applications are not supported.
• Trusting old “PSG approved” claims. A vendor’s PSG history tells you little about a new EDGE application.
• Changing vendor mid-project. Vendor changes are not allowed after approval. You would need to terminate and reapply.
• Forgetting cash flow. You pay the full amount first and claim later.
• Missing the claim date. Claims cannot be submitted in the portal after the due date. You can request one extension before it passes.
