To better support companies looking to upgrade and innovate their business domestically or overseas, the Enterprise Development Grant (EDG) was set-up in October 2018, which replaced the existing Capability Development Grant (CDG) and the Global Company Partnership (GCP).
The EDG provides funding for up to 70% of qualifying project costs namely 3rd-party consultancy fees, software and equipment, and internal manpower cost.
The EDG is restricted to projects that are new and not generating revenue during the application. That means no contract signing with the suppliers or service providers and no work or payment for the project beforehand.
All local projects must be completed within 18 months upon successful application, while projects under the Overseas Marketing Presence (OMP) must be completed within 12 months.
