TVP aims to subsidize local small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in using technological services and solutions to improve productivity, or upgrade or transform their business processes. The programme will be implemented on a pilot basis for an initial period of three years from November 2016 with HK$500 million from the Innovation and Technology Fund.

 

Who are eligible to apply?

An enterprise will be eligible to apply if:

• it has at least one year of substantive business operation in Hong Kong which is related to the project under application at the time of application; and
• it fulfills the Government’s definition of SMEs, i.e. manufacturing businesses employing fewer than 100 persons in Hong Kong; or non-manufacturing businesses employing fewer than 50 persons in Hong Kong.

 

What kind of projects will be funded by TVP?

TVP supports projects in the form of technological services and solutions which could improve productivity, or upgrade or transform the business processes of the applicant enterprise. A list of typical technological services and/or solutions covered by TVP is at Annex B of the Guidance Notes for Applications. Applicant enterprises are welcome to propose other technological services and solutions which could achieve the objectives of TVP. For funding support under TVP, prior approval must be obtained before project commencement.

 

How can I use the funds from TVP?

The approved funding from TVP can be used to cover the following:

In general, the costs of such equipment/ hardware/ software/ services or solutions should constitute no more than 50% of the project cost.
4. Project auditing for projects with approved funding exceeding $50,000. The maximum audit fee to be counted towards the total project cost is $3,000.

Normal business operating costs will not be funded under TVP.

 

What is the funding amount?

Funding up to $600,000 for each eligible enterprise will be provided on a 3:1 matching basis. The applicant enterprise must contribute no less than one fourth of the total approved project cost in cash. Subject to the cumulative funding ceiling of $600,000, up to six projects from an enterprise may be approved. To ensure proper focus on project implementation, an enterprise is not allowed to undertake more than one TVP project at the same time. Expenditure items under an approved TVP project shall not receive funding support from other local public funding sources.
