Who should check EDGE before committing
When the quote is ready but the contract is not.
This is for the owner, finance lead or operations lead deciding whether to approve a supplier appointment, start internal work or wait for EDGE. We first check the proposed work, expected start date and whether your business has already committed to it.
Projects that remove repeated work
For a proposed automation or digital tool where staff re-enter data, chase approvals or produce the same documents repeatedly.
A scope, budget or standards plan
For a supplier scope, internal project brief or standards plan that needs an EDGE activity check before work starts or payment is made.
Market-entry work
For proposed overseas promotion, business development or market-entry work that previously sat within MRA.
A quotation not yet accepted
For a supplier quotation with no signed agreement or payment. EDGE is reimbursed after completion, and the application must be made before signing or paying.
What to send first. Send a one-paragraph project summary, planned start date, supplier quotation or internal cost estimate, whether anything is signed or paid, headcount and local shareholding. We reply within one working day, then arrange a short call or site visit where useful before sending a written scope and quote.

Before you submit an EDGE application
The details that can change the route.
A grant is not a reason to rush a project decision. We check the business need, timing and published requirements so you know what needs to be true before your team commits the work.
The project is not already committed
The application must be made before an agreement is signed or payment is made. We ask this at the start because it affects whether grant support can still be considered.
The application uses the current scheme
EDGE is open. EDG, PSG and MRA closed to new applications on 29 September 2026, so we check the proposed work against the applicable EDGE activity.
The activity matches the proposed work
EDGE assesses the activity you want to carry out. We compare your project scope with the live Business Grants Portal activity list, rather than assuming every digital, standards or growth project qualifies.
Your company details support the SME rate
SMEs get up to 50% for most activities, including digital, and 70% for sustainability and overseas work. Your business must be registered and operating in Singapore with at least 30% local ownership. The activity can add requirements.
The support cap is understood
The overall cap is S$100,000 per company per year, refreshed on 1 April. Within it, S$30,000 is for single-function digital solutions, integrated enterprise systems and selected automation activities.

When did EDGE replace EDG, PSG and MRA?
EDGE is open. EDG, PSG and MRA closed to new applications on 29 September 2026. Ongoing EDG, PSG and MRA projects continue and claims can still be submitted on completion.
How much support can EDGE provide?
Support depends on the activity. Most activities support up to 50% for SMEs and 30% for non-SMEs. Sustainability and internationalisation support up to 70% and 50%. The cap is S$100,000 per company per year, refreshed on 1 April. Within it, S$30,000 is for single-function digital solutions, integrated enterprise systems and selected automation activities.
Who can apply for EDGE?
Your business must be registered and operating in Singapore, have at least 30% local ownership, and meet the requirements for the selected activity. A company must not have received an earlier grant for the same standard. Enterprise Singapore assesses each application.
Can my automation, ISO or market-expansion project get EDGE support?
Possibly. EDGE is open. Its Automation & Digitalisation activities support up to 50% for SMEs. Single-function Digital Solutions need an IMDA pre-approved vendor. A one-task custom build does not qualify on its own, but a business-wide project can go under Large-scale Digital Transformation. It also has Standards and Internationalisation activities. Support depends on the selected activity and its requirements. We check the current entry against your exact project before you commit, and Enterprise Singapore decides the application.
Which ISO standards does EDGE support?
EDGE supports ISO 14001 and ISO 50001 at up to 70% for SMEs and 50% for non-SMEs. It supports ISO/IEC 27001, ISO 22000 and ISO 41001 at up to 50% for SMEs and 30% for non-SMEs. ISO 9001, ISO 45001 and bizSAFE are not supported under EDGE.
What Standards costs does EDGE support?

The certification body must be SAC-accredited or recognised under the IAF, ILAC or APAC MRA. Surveillance and renewal audits after the first year, GST and software are not supported.
Does ZES meet the Standards vendor requirement?
Yes. The Standards vendor must hold SS 680:2021 certification as a Singapore Certified Management Consultant. Nachi holds PSCMC certification, valid to 15 September 2029. Enterprise Singapore assesses each application. ZES is not an IMDA pre-approved digital vendor.
What must I do before starting the project?
Apply before you start work, sign an agreement, make a payment or place a deposit. EDGE support is reimbursed after completion. Send the proposed work, start date, supplier proposal if available, and whether anything has been signed or paid. We tell you what to check before the project is committed.
How much work does my team need to do?
Your team needs to explain the business outcome, confirm the project scope and timing, provide company and cost information, review the application details, make portal declarations and keep the project records required for the claim. We prepare the project case and supporting documents with you, then guide the submission process.
Can ZES promise EDGE funding?
No. Enterprise Singapore assesses the application, and the applicable activity terms and documents must be satisfied. ZES helps you check eligibility, prepare the project scope, proposal and supporting documents, and guide the portal submission and claim process. We do not promise an approval outcome.
