About the Event

The $500 million Technology Voucher Programme (TVP) was launched under the Innovation and Technology Fund by Innovation and Technology Commission (ITC) in November 2016 to subsidise small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in using technological services and solutions to improve productivity, or upgrade or transform their business processes.

SMEs registered in Hong Kong under the Business Registration Ordinance with at least one year of substantive business operation in Hong Kong are eligible to apply. The Government will provide a cumulative funding up to $200,000 on a 2:1 matching basis for each eligible SME. The SME must contribute no less than one third of the total approved project cost. Upon project completion, the Government will disburse the approved funding to the applicant.
