[Enterprise Singapore](https://www.enterprisesg.gov.sg/?ref=southeastasiaconnect.com) has set 29 September as the end date for the Enterprise Development Grant, Market Readiness Assistance Grant and Productivity Solutions Grant. From 30 September, businesses seeking support for new projects are directed to the agency’s EDGE Grant.

**New operating change:** Enterprise Singapore says the three existing grant schemes cease on 29 September 2026, while applications for business grant support from the following day move to EDGE. The agency’s Market Readiness Assistance page also says that ongoing EDG, MRA and PSG submissions or projects will continue to be processed, and that claims may still be submitted after project completion.

**SEA consequence:** For Singapore companies planning overseas-market activity, the practical change is a new entry point for future applications. Teams that had been preparing a fresh MRA, EDG or PSG submission need to review the EDGE Grant route and its relevant activity category before making commitments to vendors, project starts or overseas set-up work.

The MRA scheme has supported overseas market promotion, business development and market set-up. Enterprise Singapore’s page describes the scheme as support for companies expanding into new overseas markets, including areas such as market promotion, identifying potential partners and market-entry work. That historic scope does not establish the availability or terms of any particular future EDGE application; businesses must use the current EDGE information and their own eligibility position.

The transition is operationally important because grant programmes sit inside project timing. A company considering a regional trade fair, an in-market business-development engagement or a market-entry adviser must align its application route with the new framework. Enterprise Singapore’s MRA guidance also says that retrospective applications are not permitted where a project has started, payment has been made or a vendor contract has been signed before submission. That is a policy detail businesses should verify against the current programme rules rather than treat as general approval advice.

The change does not mean existing recipients lose their approved work. The agency says existing EDG, MRA and PSG submissions and projects will continue through processing and that claims remain possible once a project is complete. The immediate question is therefore prospective: which new projects should be routed through EDGE, and which activities are covered under the new framework.
