In view of the local COVID-19 epidemic situation, it is necessary to reduce the flow of people and social contact in order to stop COVID-19 from spreading in the community. The Innovation and Technology Commission appeals to applicants of various funding schemes to continue the existing practice to submit applications by post or electronically (https://www.itf.gov.hk/en/itcfas/index.html), and avoid making the submission in person to the Commission. For general enquiries, please call 3655 5678 or email to enquiry@itc.gov.hk.
