Budget 2026 confirmed the new Enterprise Development and Growth Enhancement (EDGE) scheme, consolidating the Market Readiness Assistance (MRA), Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG) and Enterprise Development Grant (EDG) into a single application, rolling out in the second half of 2026. EnterpriseSG says EDGE will be open to all Singapore businesses, including non-SMEs, and that firms should keep applying for EDG, MRA and PSG via the Business Grants Portal in the interim.

Singapore merges PSG, EDG and MRA into one EDGE grant scheme in H2 2026
Why this matters for founders
Founders planning market entry, productivity tooling or capability upgrades should map their spend to the current MRA/PSG/EDG windows now via the Business Grants Portal, then re-scope one combined EDGE application once it opens in H2 2026 instead of running three separate claims.
