Enterprise Development Grant (EDG): Eligibility, Funding & How to Apply
The Enterprise Development Grant supports Singapore companies undertaking projects that strengthen business capabilities, innovate, improve productivity or expand overseas. Treat EDG as a project grant, not reimbursement for routine operating expenses.

|---|---|
| Core capabilities | Business strategy, financial management, human capital development |
| Innovation and productivity | Automation, process redesign, product development |
| Market access | Overseas market entry and business development |
Who should use it?
EDG is suitable when the company has a defined transformation project, clear deliverables, measurable business outcomes and the ability to co-fund and complete the project.
Documents to prepare
- ACRA business profile.
- Latest financial records where requested.
- Project proposal or quotation.
- Timeline, milestones and measurable outcomes.
- Claim documents such as invoices and proof of payment.

|---|---|
| 1. Define project | Write the problem, scope, timeline and outcome |
