Technology Voucher Programme helps enterprises grow and transform
Launched by the Innovation and Technology Commission, the Technology Voucher Programme (TVP) aims to subsidise local enterprises in using technological services and solutions to improve productivity, upgrade or transform their business processes.

Since February 28, 2018, the eligibility of the TVP has been relaxed to cover all non-listed local enterprises registered under the Business Registration Ordinance, irrespective of size and duration of operation. An applicant enterprise is only required to have substantive business operation in Hong Kong at the time of application. Under the Programme, cumulative funding of up to HK$200,000 will be provided to each eligible enterprise on a 2:1 matching basis. This means that the applicant enterprise only needs to contribute one-third of the total project cost. Upon completion of the project, the Government will reimburse up to two-thirds of the actual project cost to the applicant enterprise. The TVP is open for application throughout the year and its application procedure is simple. Interested enterprises are only required to fill in a simple online application form and upload the required documents.

Since the launch of the TVP, many enterprises have successfully saved resources and enhanced operation efficiency by adopting suitable technological services and solutions with the support of the Programme. Please watch the following video of case sharing by two successful applicant enterprises and click here for more details of the TVP.
