What is the AI PSG Grant Singapore?

The AI PSG Grant Singapore is the country's fastest path for SMEs to fund AI adoption. Run by Enterprise Singapore, it reimburses up to 50% of the cost of AI tools chosen from a pre-approved vendor list. Unlike the EDG grant, which funds custom transformation projects, PSG only funds productised solutions — but the trade-off is speed: most decisions land within 2 to 6 weeks.

Who qualifies for the AI PSG Grant?

  • Registered and operating in Singapore
  • At least 30% local shareholding
  • Annual sales under S$100 million, OR fewer than 200 employees
  • A genuine 1-month usage report evidencing real use
  • Solution chosen from the PSG pre-approved AI vendor list

What AI tools does PSG actually cover?

PSG covers AI tools from the official pre-approved list across categories like AI customer service, AI marketing automation, AI accounting, AI inventory management, AI video generation, and AI sales agents. Customised AI development — building your own AI agent from scratch — is NOT covered under PSG. For that, you want the AI EDG Grant Singapore.

The 4-step application timeline

  1. Week 0 — Scope the use case, pick the right pre-approved vendor, gather ACRA + financial statements
  2. Week 1 — Submit application via the Business Grants Portal (BGP)
  3. Week 2–3 — Caseworker reviews; clarification questions may come
  4. Week 4–6 — Letter of Offer issued; you accept, deploy, claim reimbursement

Top 5 reasons AI PSG Grant applications get rejected

  1. The proposed AI vendor is not on the pre-approved list
  2. The same solution was already claimed within the funding window
  3. Deployment plan is generic instead of role-specific
  4. Financial statements show the business is ineligible (e.g. revenue exceeds cap)
  5. Duplicate solutions claimed across multiple group entities under the same UEN family

How an AI Consultant in Singapore makes this faster

DIY applications typically see a ~40% first-pass approval rate. With an experienced AI consultant in Singapore handling the vendor match, usage report, and caseworker language, that rises to 85%+ in our experience. Talk to me about your AI PSG Grant application →

Frequently asked questions

The AI PSG Grant Singapore (Productivity Solutions Grant, administered by Enterprise Singapore) covers up to 50% of qualifying costs for AI tools and digital solutions adopted from the PSG pre-approved vendor list. The cap is S$30,000 per company across all PSG claims within the funding period.

Singapore-registered businesses with at least 30% local shareholding, annual sales under S$100M (or fewer than 200 employees), and a genuine need for the solution. The applicant must be the business owner or an authorised representative.

Pre-approved AI solutions typically receive a decision in 2 to 6 weeks. Submitting before Wednesday morning often clears the same week's queue. A matching quotation and ACRA documents must be ready at submission; most solutions also require a 1-month usage report demonstrating real use.

PSG covers AI tools from the official pre-approved vendor list — including AI customer service, AI marketing automation, AI accounting, AI inventory management, AI video generation, and AI sales agents. Custom-built AI without a pre-approved vendor is NOT covered under PSG (use the EDG Grant instead).

Top rejection reasons in 2026: (1) the proposed vendor is not on the pre-approved list, (2) the same solution was previously claimed within the funding window, (3) the usage report does not demonstrate the software was actually used, (4) financial statements show ineligibility, and (5) duplicate solutions across multiple group entities.

Yes — PSG can be stacked with EDG (for IDP Stage 2/3 custom builds), MRA (for overseas market entry), and NTUC CTC (for equipment, software, consultancy and training around impacted staff). Stacking requires careful scope separation so the same cost isn't claimed twice.

Not strictly required, but having an AI consultant in Singapore who has run multiple PSG applications dramatically improves first-pass approval rate — typically from ~40% (DIY) to >85% (assisted). The consultant clarifies eligibility, picks the right pre-approved vendor, and prepares the usage report in the form the caseworker expects.
