MRA Grant Changes in 2026: 70% Support and the EDGE Consolidation
If you are expanding overseas, Budget 2026 brought two changes to the Market Readiness Assistance grant: enhanced support, and a merger into EDGE. Here is the practical read.
The announced MRA changes
MRA support for SMEs is enhanced to 70% for the period 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029. Separately, MRA will be consolidated with PSG and EDG into the single EDGE grant launching in the second half of 2026.
Under EDGE, internationalization support at up to 50% also becomes available to non-SMEs — previously an SME-focused benefit.
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. MRA support for SMEs is enhanced to 70% (1 April 2026 – 31 March 2029), and non-SMEs gain access to internationalization support at up to 50% under EDGE.
EDGE's final eligibility criteria have not been published, so the safest way to plan is to check your position under the current rules and against EDGE as announced, side by side.
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 — run the free check to see both regimes side by side.
