A practical sequence for finding, scoping and applying for Singapore AI funding — from the Business Grants Portal to submission.
dgm is an independent osFoundry integration partner — not affiliated with osFoundry’s maker (OS LLC), and dgm has no completed client integrations yet.
There is a sensible order to finding and applying for AI funding in Singapore that avoids wasted effort — especially around PSG’s pre-approved-vendor rule.
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| 1. Discover | Business Grants Portal (GoBusiness); CTO-as-a-Service |
| 2. Scope | Define the AI project, costs and outcomes |
| 3. Match | PSG (off-the-shelf) vs EDG (bespoke) vs other schemes |
| 4. Apply | Apply via the Business Grants Portal before committing to a vendor |
A step-by-step sequence
- Discover — start with the Business Grants Portal on GoBusiness and, for SMEs, CTO-as-a-Service. 2) Scope the AI project so you can describe costs, timeline and outcomes. 3) Match to the right instrument — PSG for a pre-approved off-the-shelf solution, EDG for a bespoke project, or an IMDA/AISG scheme. 4) Apply through the Business Grants Portal.
Common pitfalls
The big one for PSG: do not pay, deposit or sign with a vendor before submitting the application — committing early can disqualify you. Others: assuming any AI vendor is PSG-pre-approved, assuming 100E can be delivered by an external integrator (it cannot), and planning around an unconfirmed scheme. Note: Enterprise Singapore has announced a unified EDGE grant launching in the second half of 2026 that will consolidate PSG, EDG and MRA; the existing grants remain accessible until it launches, but the exact mechanics and cutover date were not confirmed at the time of writing — verify before relying on either the old or new scheme.
Where dgm fits
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. dgm can help scope the AI project; you submit the application and the agency decides.
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.
