Short answer
The Enterprise Development Grant (EDG) funds up to 50% of qualifying project costs for SMEs (30% for non-SMEs), across consultancy, software, and internal manpower tied to the project. Unlike PSG there is no fixed dollar cap — funding scales with the approved project scope, which must map to a capability outcome under Core Capabilities, Innovation, or Market Access.
Key facts
- Up to 50% for SMEs, 30% for non-SMEs
- No fixed cap — scales with approved project cost
- Three pillars: Core Capabilities, Innovation, Market Access
- Requires a project proposal, not just a quotation
EDG is project-based. You submit a proposal describing the capability you're building and the outcomes you expect, and funding is assessed against that. This is heavier than PSG but unlocks custom work PSG can't touch.
From years of first-hand familiarity with EDG, the proposals that win are specific about the before-and-after: what the business can do after the project that it couldn't before, with measurable outcomes. Vague 'digital transformation' language is weak.
