What is the EDGE scheme and when does it start?

Short answer

EDGE is the streamlined enterprise-grant framework announced for Singapore, consolidating overlapping support — including elements of PSG, EDG and MRA — into a simpler structure, with changes phased in from the second half of 2026. The intent is fewer separate applications and clearer pathways. Until it takes effect, the existing PSG, EDG and MRA grants continue to apply as today.

Key facts

  • Consolidates overlapping enterprise grants (PSG / EDG / MRA elements)
  • Phased in from 2H2026
  • Goal: simpler, fewer separate applications
  • Existing grants still apply until the transition

The headline for owners is continuity: nothing about EDGE means you should wait. The grants that exist today are still claimable, and projects scoped now carry over in substance.

What changes is the packaging — fewer parallel application tracks. I advise treating 2026 as a normal funding year and scoping projects on today's rules, while keeping an eye on the transition details as they're published.
