Frequently asked questions
Yes, if the tool is deployed both in Singapore (PSG funding) and as part of overseas market expansion (MRA funding). Scope separation must be clean — PSG covers the local deployment, MRA covers the market-entry-related costs.
MRA is higher per project (up to S$100k per market) and can apply across multiple overseas markets. PSG is capped at S$30k per company across all PSG claims.
No — MRA also funds service expansion. SaaS firms, consulting practices, and AI-enabled services can use MRA to enter overseas markets (typical priority markets shift year to year).
