  2. Equip workers with relevant skills to ensure automation readiness.

What Kind of Items and or/ Activities are Not Supported By the EDG Grant?

  1. Costs which are irrelevant to the project such as set-up costs needed to start a business.

  2. Cost of necessary devices or equipment such as laptops and mobile phones.

  3. Cost of equipment and software which have been covered by the Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG).
