MRA Grant Changes in 2026 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
Budget 2026 announced enhanced MRA support for SMEs. Separately, MRA will be consolidated with PSG and EDG into the single EDGE grant launching in the second half of 2026.
The announcement also expands internationalization support to non-SMEs under EDGE. Rates, effective periods, and activity conditions must be checked in the current official guidance.
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.
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.
