EDGE Grant
The EDGE Grant is EnterpriseSG's single activity-based grant for Singapore companies starting new projects to upgrade capabilities, improve efficiency or expand overseas. It brings support for eight business areas and more than 100 activities under one framework, replacing the separate EDG, PSG and MRA schemes for new business-grant applications from 30 September 2026. Applicants must be registered in Singapore with at least 30% Singaporean or Singapore PR ownership. Support is activity-specific: SMEs can receive up to 70% and non-SMEs up to 50%, subject to a shared S$100,000 grant cap each year across all EDGE activities, of which up to S$30,000 can go to digital solutions, enterprise systems and selected automation. Companies with ongoing EDG, PSG or MRA submissions or projects continue under those schemes and can submit their claims when the project is complete.

Growth and Transformation Scheme (GTS)
Building and Construction Authority
Up to 70% of qualifying costs from S$90 million fund for alliance-based initiatives
The Growth and Transformation Scheme (GTS) is a strategic BCA initiative designed to support the formation and development of strategic alliances among Built Environment (BE) value chain partners. Recognizing that the BE sector is made up of many independent businesses with heavy inter-dependencies, GTS encourages multiple partnering companies — developers, consultants, builders, and sub-contractors — to come together and collectively develop strong, capable supply chains over the long term. Unlike firm-level grants, GTS goes beyond project-specific support and enables companies to take a long-term view on business and workforce transformation. It supports partnership efforts to strengthen technical capabilities as well as corporate, digital, and innovation practices, achieving mutually beneficial outcomes over a sustained period. The government has set aside S$90 million under GTS to co-fund up to 70% of qualifying costs for alliance-based transformation initiatives.
