EDGE's final criteria have not been published, and no change to the local-shareholding requirement has been announced.

Can a Foreign-Owned Company Get the EDGE Grant?

Shareholding is the most common disqualifier for foreign-owned companies in Singapore. Here is how the local-shareholding rule works today, and what the EDGE announcement does and does not change.

The 30% local shareholding rule today

Current PSG rules require at least 30% local (Singaporean or PR) shareholding, computed through the ultimate ownership chain. A wholly foreign-owned subsidiary does not meet this criterion, regardless of size or local operations.

What Budget 2026 changes

Budget 2026 announced that PSG, EDG and MRA will be consolidated into a single grant — EDGE — launching in the second half of 2026. The existing schemes remain in force until then. Related internationalization-support changes were also announced; consult the current official source for operative rates and dates.

EDGE's final eligibility criteria have not been published. Our checker therefore returns a PSG result only and keeps the EDGE announcement as context, without producing a speculative EDGE verdict.

Does EDGE change this?

EDGE's final criteria are unpublished, so there is no confirmed operational change to the local-shareholding requirement. The announcement also discusses internationalization support for non-SMEs; consult the linked official source for current terms.

If your shareholding is close to the 30% line, or your ownership structure is layered, check your position rather than guessing — the boundary is exact, not approximate.

Apply now or wait for EDGE?

If you qualify under today's PSG rules and have a concrete solution to buy, applying under known rules is generally the lower-risk path. Waiting means applying under criteria that are not yet final.

If you do not qualify today, the announced EDGE changes may or may not alter your position. Re-check after EnterpriseSG publishes operational EDGE criteria.
