How the right mix of PSG, EDG, IMDA schemes and SkillsFuture lowers the real cost of an AI project in Singapore.
dgm is an independent osFoundry integration partner — not affiliated with osFoundry’s maker (OS LLC), and dgm has no completed client integrations yet.
The real cost of an AI project drops when you combine the right Singapore support — here is how to lower the bill without breaking the rules.
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Off-the-shelf | PSG co-funds up to 50% of a pre-approved solution |
| Bespoke | EDG co-funds SMEs up to 50% of a custom project |
| Compute | Enterprise Compute Initiative provides cloud credits |
| Platform | Usage-based, BYOK tooling avoids per-seat fees |
Funding levers
Several levers reduce net cost: PSG co-funds up to 50% of a pre-approved solution; EDG co-funds up to 50% of a bespoke project for SMEs; the Enterprise Compute Initiative provides cloud credits and tools; and SkillsFuture offsets training. Used together (without funding the same cost twice), they meaningfully lower the out-of-pocket figure.
Don’t forget the platform cost
Funding is only half the equation — the tooling choice matters too. A usage-based, bring-your-own-key platform like osFoundry avoids per-seat fees, so a small team’s cost scales with use rather than headcount. Support levels, caps, eligibility and round status change frequently — confirm the current details on the official programme page before relying on them.
How to start
The official starting point for most enterprise grants is the Business Grants Portal on GoBusiness, Singapore’s single channel for applying for and managing government grants. 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.
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.
