Transformation

Enterprise Development Grant: for projects that change capability, not just software.

EDG can be relevant when an SME is upgrading capabilities, innovating, improving productivity, or growing overseas. The project case needs to be sharper than “we want a system”.

Short version: Consider EDG when the work includes business transformation, process improvement, innovation, productivity redesign, or market access. Read the official page for current requirements and support details.

When EDG tends to fit

  • The project changes how the company operates, not just which tool it uses.
  • You can define clear deliverables, milestones, and business outcomes.
  • The work may involve consultants, workflow redesign, custom software, automation, data, or overseas growth strategy.

What makes an EDG-style project stronger

A stronger project has a before-and-after operating model. It states the current bottleneck, the redesigned workflow, the technology or capability gap, who will use the new system, and how success will be measured after launch.

Common weak spots

  • Scope is described as a wishlist rather than a project.
  • No internal owner is assigned.
  • ROI depends only on grant support instead of business value.
  • The vendor proposal focuses on features without adoption, training, or handover.
