Is There a Deadline to Apply for PSG Before EDGE Launches?
There is no announced hard cutoff date for PSG applications — but the scheme runs only until EDGE launches in the second half of 2026. Here is how to think about timing.
The transition window
Budget 2026 committed to launching EDGE in the second half of 2026, with existing schemes remaining in force until then. The precise launch date — and therefore the effective end of the current PSG window — has not been announced.
Practically, that means the window for applying under known, stable rules is open now and will close on EDGE's launch date, whenever within 2H 2026 that falls.
The current PSG rules at a glance
Under the current PSG rules, a company generally qualifies if it is registered and operating in Singapore, has at least 30% local shareholding, and meets the SME definition — group annual revenue of not more than S$100 million, or not more than 200 employees. Support is at 50% of qualifying costs, capped at S$30,000 per company per year.
Two rules catch many applicants: the solution must be used in Singapore, and you must not have signed with or paid your vendor before applying.
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.
