Grants & Compliance Terms Explained
5 terms on Singapore business grants and personal data rules, in plain English.
Grants can lower the cost of new systems, and the PDPA sets the rules for the customer and staff data those systems hold. Both change over time: on 30 September 2026, Enterprise Singapore moved new grant applications from PSG, EDG and MRA to the single EDGE Grant. These pages explain the terms so you know what to ask and where to check.
Grant rules and laws change. Check the official page before you apply or act. These pages are general information, not legal or financial advice.
