FAQs
Who is eligible to apply for the MSG programme?
To be eligible, your company must be registered and operating in Singapore, with at least 10 employees. For SMEs: you can apply for the $30,000 grant quantum and receive up to 90% subsidy (you pay minimum $3,000 SGD). For MNCs: up to 70% subsidy (you pay minimum $9,000 SGD).
What types of projects does the MSG programme support?
The MSG supports projects such as process improvement, workflow optimisation, operational excellence; digital transformation including AI integration and Industry 4.0; workplace skills upgrading and capability development; job-role redesign for productivity and efficiency.
What is the application process and timeline for MSG?
The application process involves: establishing or verifying a Company Training Committee (CTC); developing a transformation roadmap; securing approval from your CTC; submitting the application online via the appropriate portal; upon approval, you receive a Letter of Award (LOA); then carry out the project and submit claims within four weeks of project completion. The programme emphasises that approval times can be less than 2 months, which is significantly faster than some other grants.
Are there any major conditions I should be aware of before starting the project?
Yes. Projects under MSG must be completed within 6 months, so scopes must be tight and realistic. Outcomes must be measurable (not simply generic training). Applicant must be registered in Singapore and ensure co-funding (i.e., the grant does not cover 100% of costs). Also, a company may have a cap of 3 projects under the programme.
Can the MSG grant be used to fund ongoing website maintenance or minor enhancements?
No. The MSG is designed to support digital transformation mentorship/implementation-led training rather than ongoing maintenance. However, if your project involves a major digital revamp (e.g., generative AI integration, omni-channel marketing or significant new business functions) then it can qualify.
