What Is Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG) For Singapore Companies?

The Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG) is a government funding initiative in Singapore that provides support to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to adopt pre-scoped productivity solutions. The goal of the PSG is to help SMEs in Singapore improve their productivity and competitiveness through the adoption of technology and innovation.

Eligible SMEs can receive funding support of up to 80% of the adoption costs for productivity solutions under the PSG. The amount of funding support that an SME can receive depends on the size of the company and the type of solution being adopted.
