Frequently Asked Questions
Is EDG only for SMEs?
Enterprise Singapore’s current programme page describes support for local SMEs. Confirm your company’s eligibility and support rate through the official programme page and BGP before applying.
How is EDG different from PSG?
EDG supports individual transformation proposals and typically takes 8–12 weeks for a complete application. PSG covers pre-approved IT solutions. Management consultancy work under EDG requires a certified consultant. See our PSG vs EDG Decision Matrix.
Can I use EDG for AI projects?
Yes. EDG is ideal for custom AI implementation, integration, and process redesign projects under the Innovation & Productivity pillar. For pre-approved AI software, consider PSG instead. See AI Adoption: PSG vs EDG.
What happens if my EDG application is rejected?
You can reapply after addressing the rejection reasons. Common fixes include engaging a certified consultant, refining your project scope, or strengthening financial projections. See EDG Pitfalls & Rejection Reasons.
Can I combine EDG with other grants?
You cannot claim EDG and another grant for the same cost item. However, you can use different grants for different parts of your business — for example, EDG for a custom transformation project and PSG for separate IT tools.
How long does the entire EDG process take?
End-to-end, expect 6-12 months: 4-8 weeks preparation, 8-12 weeks approval, then 6-18 months project execution. See the detailed timeline in our EDG Grant Explained guide.
What’s Next: EDGE Unified Grant
