Enterprise Development Grant
Build a custom AI agent. EDG funds up to 70%.
PSG covers standard solutions like our AI CRM. EDG is for businesses that need something built specifically for them — multi-system integrations, industry-specific AI agents, and real business transformation. No fixed cap.
When PSG isn't enough.
PSG funds pre-approved tools. EDG funds custom projects. Here's the difference.
| PSG | EDG | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Off-the-shelf, pre-approved solutions | Custom projects tailored to your business |
| Support rate | 50% for SMEs | 50% for SMEs (up to 70% for sustainability) |
| Funding cap | S$30,000 annually | No fixed cap — project-based |
| Scope | Pre-approved vendor list only | Any qualified vendor, custom scope |
| Project complexity | Standard deployments | Multi-system integrations, AI transformation |
Why EDG for custom AI.
No fixed cap
PSG caps at S$30k annually. EDG supports larger, more ambitious projects — the kind that actually transform how your business operates.
Custom scope, not pre-approved
EDG doesn't limit you to a vendor list. You define the scope based on your actual business needs. We build exactly what you need.
Covers capability building
Beyond the technology — EDG can fund process redesign, staff training, and change management. The full transformation, not just the software.
Sustainability premium
Projects with sustainability outcomes can qualify for up to 70% support. AI-driven efficiency improvements often qualify.
What businesses build with EDG + Voltade.
EDG unlocks projects that go beyond a simple chatbot deployment.
Multi-system AI agent
An AI agent that connects WhatsApp, your CRM, inventory system, and local platforms like Plato or WESS — handling customer conversations with real-time data from every source.
End-to-end workflow automation
From lead enquiry to quotation to booking to follow-up — an AI system that automates the full customer journey, not just one touchpoint.
Custom AI for operations
Internal AI agents for HR onboarding, procurement processing, inventory management, or data entry automation — trained on your SOPs.
Industry-specific AI deployment
Healthcare triage, childcare communication, F&B order management, manufacturing quality checks — AI agents built for your specific industry workflows.
Built for Singapore — not adapted.
Global SaaS tools don't support the systems Singapore SMEs actually use. We build direct integrations — no middleware, no workarounds.
Common questions.
When should I use EDG instead of PSG?
PSG works for standard solutions like our AI CRM. Use EDG when your project goes beyond that — multi-system integrations, custom AI agents for operations or industry-specific workflows, or transformation projects that exceed PSG's S$30k cap.
Can Voltade help with the EDG application?
Yes. We help scope the project, prepare the business case, draft the application, and manage the submission to Enterprise Singapore. We've done this for multiple clients.
How long does EDG approval take?
Typically 6-8 weeks, sometimes longer for complex projects. We recommend starting the application early while we begin discovery and scoping work.
What's the minimum project size for EDG?
There's no official minimum, but EDG is designed for projects above S$30k. For smaller projects, PSG is usually more appropriate. We'll recommend the right grant during your scoping session.
Can I combine EDG with other grants?
Yes — EDG can be combined with SkillsFuture Enterprise Credit (SFEC) for an additional S$10k. You cannot claim the same cost item under both PSG and EDG, but different components can be funded by different grants.
Does Voltade integrate with Singapore-specific systems?
Yes. We've built production integrations with Plato (clinic management), WESS (workforce management), ECDA reporting, and local payment gateways. This is a key reason businesses choose custom over SaaS.
