Up to S$1 million per awarded project

Up to 24 months

What does it support?
The open category covers AI for cybersecurity and securing AI, quantum-safe technologies, operational technology and Internet of Things security, cloud security and privacy-enhancing technologies. The user-driven category addresses incident containment, aviation surveillance integrity and SME cybersecurity readiness.
A proposal should connect the proposed technical development to the chosen challenge and explain how the solution will be validated with its intended user.
Who can apply?
Singapore-registered cybersecurity technology companies and solution developers may apply. An overseas company without Singapore registration must work with a Singapore-registered partner. End-user participation or commitment depends on the chosen challenge.
The published information does not specify a local-shareholding threshold; Singapore registration alone should not be treated as confirmation of every eligibility condition.
How does the support work?
Approved CCDF costs are reimbursed, subject to the award and its milestones. The per-project ceiling is a maximum possible award, rather than a guaranteed payment. A percentage co-funding rate has not been publicly confirmed, so an applicant should confirm the reimbursable share before finalising its funding plan.
What expenditure can qualify?
Eligible manpower and other operating expenditure may be supported under CCDF guidance. The accepted cost categories and budget must be established for the proposed project; the award ceiling does not make every development or pilot expense eligible.
Key conditions
- Apply before the proposed project starts.
- Structure the work within the permitted 24-month duration.
- Ensure funded project intellectual property is owned, managed and exploited from Singapore.
- Secure the end-user involvement and, where applicable, Singapore partner required for the chosen challenge.
- Meet the challenge-specific proposal and milestone conditions.
Timing and application process
The call opened on 10 November 2026. Review the challenge statements and submission template through the CyberSG TIG CyberCall portal, establish the end-user and partner arrangements, and submit by 9 January 2027. Check the CCDF funding guidance when preparing the budget. Application enquiries can be directed to [email protected].
Important programme distinctions
CyberCall funds cybersecurity innovation and validation. It differs from support for an SME buying cybersecurity consultancy or assessment services. CSA's general CCDF page still refers to the closed 2025 call; the 10 November 2026 announcement and the CyberCall portal identify the 2026 application round.
