Singapore supports SME AI adoption through Enterprise Singapore's grant framework, with the right instrument depending on whether the company is adopting an established solution or building AI capability into its business transformation.
Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG): supports adoption of pre-approved productivity and digital solutions, the route for standardised tools
Enterprise Development Grant (EDG): supports substantial capability and transformation projects, which is where structured AI integration typically sits, the analysis, workflow redesign and implementation through which AI changes how the business operates, delivered with certified consultants
EDGE Grant: from the second half of 2026, the PSG, EDG and MRA consolidate into this single framework, one application channel across productivity, capability and internationalisation support
Two disciplines govern all routes: applications precede project commencement, and the same costs cannot be funded twice across schemes, so an AI transformation and any related expansion work are scoped as distinct projects. Prevailing terms should be verified on the Business Grants Portal at the point of application, particularly through the EDGE transition.
SJ Digital Media Solutions structures client AI implementations with the grant pathway in mind from the assessment stage: as a Registered Management Consultant recognised by Enterprise Singapore, SJ scopes the project to the appropriate framework, prepares the proposal and documentation, and sequences the implementation so approval, execution and claim proceed cleanly, the same grant discipline SJ applies across its strategy, branding and market expansion work.
