AI Transformation Lab
Singapore Government Grants
Your AI transformation could be up to 70% funded.
Singapore SMEs can offset a large share of their AI investment through government grants. Here's what's available — and how much.
EnterpriseSG
Enterprise Development Grant (EDG)
50%
reimbursement for SMEs
Project-based — no fixed cap
Best for
Custom AI builds, process re-engineering, and automation projects that create a new business capability beyond off-the-shelf software procurement.
Eligibility highlights
- Singapore-registered and operating
- ≥30% local (Singaporean/PR) equity
- Project not yet started, contracted, or paid for
- Financially viable to complete the project
Reimbursement model. Your company pays the full project cost upfront, then claims back the funded portion after completion and audit. Processing takes ~8–12 weeks from application via the Business Grants Portal.
Workforce Singapore
Workforce Development Grant – Job Redesign+ (WDG JR+)
70%
reimbursement for SMEs
Up to S$150,000 total
Best for
AI transformation projects with a workforce or HR technology element — workforce analytics, skills-gap tools, AI-powered HR tech, and job redesign for new ways of working.
Eligibility highlights
- Singapore-registered and operating
- ≥3 local employees — no equity requirement
- Project not yet contracted or paid for
- Must engage a WSG pre-approved panel consultant
Nett fee model. Your company pays only its ~30% co-share directly to the consultant. The government's share goes straight to the consultant as project milestones are met — you never front the full cost.
