Enterprise Development Grant (EDG)

Up to 50% of qualifying project costs (SME), up to 30% (non-SME), up to 70% for sustainability projects (until 31 Mar 2026). No fixed cap - assessed on project basis.

The Enterprise Development Grant (EDG) helps Singapore companies grow and transform through comprehensive support across three strategic pillars: Core Capabilities, Innovation & Productivity, and Market Access. This flexible grant supports customised, larger-scale transformation projects that require tailored solutions, making it suitable for businesses seeking to upgrade operations, innovate, or venture overseas. Unlike pre-scoped grants, the EDG requires companies to submit individual project proposals with detailed business plans for evaluation. Since its inception, it has been a vital resource for businesses of all sizes seeking to enhance their capabilities both domestically and internationally. The grant supports projects ranging from business strategy development and automation to overseas market entry and standards adoption.
