Top Singapore Government Grants for SMEs and Startups in 2025

"Singapore's government allocates billions of dollars in grants and subsidies for businesses every year. Most SMEs leave this money on the table simply because they don't know it exists."

Singapore is one of the most pro-business governments in the world — and that generosity shows up in a rich ecosystem of grants, subsidies, and incentives for local businesses. Here are the most impactful ones available in 2025.

Enterprise Development Grant (EDG)

Administered by Enterprise Singapore, the EDG supports businesses in three areas: Core Capabilities (strategy, human capital, financial management), Innovation and Productivity (process redesign, automation), and Market Access (overseas expansion). Up to 50% of qualifying costs funded (70% for SMEs).

Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG)

The PSG funds the adoption of pre-approved digital solutions and equipment across sectors including retail, food, logistics, and professional services. Funding of up to 50% of approved costs — with a streamlined application process through the Business Grants Portal.
