The Enterprise Development Grant (EDG) provides funding support to Singapore-based companies to upgrade their Brand and Marketing strategies.

EDG also supports projects that help you upgrade and innovate your business in order for you to remain competitive during and after this Covid Pandemic and funds local businesses to grow and transform by strengthening core capabilities.

It was set up in October 2018 replacing the existing Capability Development Grant (CDG).

As of the latest budget announcement, the SMEs are eligible to get up to 70% and the non-SMEs are eligible to get up to 50% of qualified costs from 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2023.

It was announced that EDG grant support will be for SMEs up to 70%; non-SMEs up to 50% of qualified costs from 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2023.

For Food Services and Retail sectors, the support level will be at up to 80% from 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2023.

It takes 8 to 12 weeks for a reply. Clarity of proposal and application will hasten the approval process.

You will receive a letter of offer which you must accept within a time frame within the business grant portal. Or you will receive a letter of rejection.

Depending on the scope of your project, the timeline could range from 3 to 6 months. This includes time to establish proposed objectives and conduct research. Our typical software application project takes about 3 to 6 months.

The application process would be complicated for some.
