More on the Enterprise Development Grant (EDG)

The previous Capability Development Grant (CDG) grant and Global Company Partnership (GCP) grant has been replaced by the current Enterprise Development Grant (EDG). The grants are provided as a leg up for companies rather than a crutch to help Singapore companies grow and transform.

[Below Excerpt is taken from https://www.enterprisesg.gov.sg/financial-assistance/grants/for-local-companies/enterprise-development-grant/overview ]

This grant supports projects that help you upgrade your business, innovate or venture overseas, under three pillars:

Core Capabilities

Projects under Core Capabilities help businesses prepare for growth and transformation by strengthening their business foundations. These should go beyond basic functions such as sales and accounting.
Innovation and Productivity

Projects under Innovation and Productivity support companies that explore new areas of growth, or look for ways to enhance efficiency. These could include reviewing and redesigning workflow and processes. Companies could also tap into automation and technologies to make routine tasks more efficient.
Market Access

Projects under Market Access support Singapore companies that are willing and ready to venture overseas. You may tap into the EDG to help defray some of the costs of expanding into overseas markets.
