Singapore’s GenAI Sandbox lets SMEs trial generative-AI solutions with support — but editions change, so confirm what is currently open before planning around it.

What the GenAI Sandbox offers
The GenAI Sandbox for SMEs lets smaller firms trial pre-approved generative-AI solutions at low cost/risk to see whether they help — a sensible way to test GenAI before committing. An initial GenAI Sandbox 1.0 ran, and later partner-run iterations (for example with the SCCCI) have been reported.
An honesty caveat
The current edition, subsidy level and open/closed window could not be confirmed from a primary source at the time of writing (the live page is dynamically rendered). Confirm the current round directly on smesgodigital.gov.sg before relying on it. Important: these are programmes a business applies for directly with the relevant Singapore agency. dgm is an independent AI-integration agency — not a registered or approved grant deliverer, and not a PSG pre-approved vendor or on any IMDA or Enterprise Singapore pre-approved solution list. dgm can help scope and build the AI project; eligibility, approval and any claim rest with you and the agency.
How to start
Check the GenAI Sandbox page on the SMEs Go Digital portal for the live edition and eligibility. Support levels, caps, eligibility and round status change frequently — confirm the current details on the official programme page before relying on them.
Where dgm fits
dgm is an independent integration partner that helps Singapore businesses adopt osFoundry — scoping a first use case, handling the build, and connecting AI to the systems you already run. dgm can help you scope the AI project that a programme would fund — but you apply to the programme directly, and dgm is not a PSG pre-approved vendor or registered grant deliverer. dgm is independent of osFoundry’s maker (OS LLC) and has no completed client integrations yet, so everything described here is a service offered, not a past result. If you want to scope a practical first project, dgm can help you map it out.
