S$100,000
Annual Grant Cap
Shared across eligible EDGE activities, with the cap refreshed on 1 April each year.
Maximum support levels are not guaranteed. Eligibility, approved costs and funding amounts depend on the selected EDGE activity and Enterprise Singapore's assessment.
The overall annual EDGE cap is S$100,000 per company across eligible activities. A separate S$30,000 annual sub-cap applies only to selected single-function digital solutions, integrated enterprise systems and pre-scoped equipment—not to every Large-scale Digital Transformation project.
Large-scale Digital Transformation
What Is Large-scale Digital Transformation?
This activity is intended for projects that produce meaningful operational change. A qualifying proposal needs to explain its expected business impact, the core operations being transformed and how business systems or workflows will be integrated or standardised.
Measurable Business Impact
The project should demonstrate improvements in operational efficiency, business performance or growth.
Transformation of Core Operations
The solution should strengthen key business processes through technologies such as AI, RPA, workflow automation or enterprise systems.
System Integration
The project should involve integration or standardisation across business systems and workflows.
Automating an isolated task without broader business transformation is not supported under the Large-scale Digital Transformation activity.

Automating an isolated task without broader business transformation is not supported under this activity. AI, RPA and workflow automation are technologies, not automatic evidence of eligibility.

What EDGE Does Not Automatically Cover
EDGE does not make every AI tool, automation task or supplier engagement eligible. A stand-alone task automation without wider operational transformation does not meet the Large-scale Digital Transformation activity requirements.
Eligibility and support depend on the activity selected, applicant and project scope, approved costs and Enterprise Singapore's assessment. Vendor requirements also vary by activity, so confirm them before selecting a supplier.

How Agentic Workforce Can Help
We work with businesses to define practical use cases, architecture and integration requirements, commercial scope, delivery considerations and measurable KPIs for AI-enabled operations.
We can provide a commercial proposal and relevant technical project information. We are not an EDGE application agent: the applicant company is responsible for preparing and submitting its grant application.

Apply Before Starting Work or Making Payments
If you intend to seek EDGE support, the applicant company must submit the application before project work starts or any supplier payments or deposits are made. Projects are not eligible for retrospective support.
Work may begin after the application is submitted, but expenditure incurred before approval is at the applicant's own risk. Grant approval is not guaranteed. EDGE is generally reimbursed after approved project expenses are completed, fully paid and claims are successfully verified.

EDGE Grant FAQs for AI and Automation Projects
How much funding can Singapore businesses receive?
For qualifying Large-scale Digital Transformation projects, SMEs may receive up to 50% support and non-SMEs up to 30%. EDGE has an overall annual cap of S$100,000 per company across eligible activities. Actual support is subject to assessment and approval.
Who can apply for EDGE?
Applicants must be registered and operating in Singapore, with at least 30% ultimate individual ownership held by Singapore citizens and/or permanent residents. Other activity-specific eligibility conditions also apply.
Must I use a pre-approved vendor?
Vendor requirements depend on the selected EDGE activity. Certain activities require pre-approved solutions or vendors, while others permit businesses to select their own vendors subject to the applicable requirements. Applicants should verify the requirements for their chosen activity.
Can I start the project before applying?
Projects are not eligible for retrospective support if work has commenced or payments or deposits have been made before application submission. Companies may commence after submitting an application, but any expenditure incurred before approval is at their own risk.
How is EDGE funding disbursed?
EDGE generally provides reimbursement for approved project expenses after completion, full payment and successful claim verification, subject to the applicable grant conditions.
