Market Readiness Assistance (MRA) Grant

Enterprise Singapore runs the Market Readiness Assistance Grant as part of its support for Singapore SMEs that are entering overseas markets. The program remains active until the launch of EDGE in the second half of 2026, and it is positioned as a practical export-entry tool for firms that need help turning a first foreign market into a working commercial presence. The grant reimburses up to 70% of eligible costs from 1 April 2026, capped at S$100,000 per company per new market. Its three pillars are overseas market promotion, overseas business development, and overseas market set-up, with support for campaigns, trade fairs, partner searches, in-market business development, employee deployment, and market-entry advisory. Applicants must be Singapore-registered and operating, have at least 30% local equity, and be new to the target overseas market, with annual sales of no more than S$100,000 there over the prior three years. Projects must stay within 12 months and are applied for through the Business Grants Portal. The strongest fit is a company that already has a clear target market, a defined activity, and the vendor and supporting documents ready before filing. Enterprise Singapore expects applicants to apply at least six months before project start, to avoid retrospective claims, and to keep each submission to a single activity in a single market. That structure makes the grant useful for disciplined first-market entry, not for open-ended international expansion plans.

Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
