Eligibility varies by programme, but a few factors recur across Hong Kong technology funding.
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Local presence | Registered/incorporated and operating in Hong Kong |
| Programme fit | Adoption vs R&D vs incubation vs compute |
| Stage | Start-up (Cyberport/HKSTP) vs established (BUD/NIFS) |
| Commitment timing | Confirm rules before committing spend |
Common eligibility factors
Across Hong Kong programmes the recurring factors are: being registered or incorporated and operating in Hong Kong; matching the programme’s purpose (adoption, R&D, incubation or compute); and meeting stage expectations — Cyberport and HKSTP target start-ups, while the BUD Fund and NIFS target established enterprises.
How to check your fit
Read each programme’s eligibility page on the relevant authority’s site before applying, and note that the TVP is closed to new applications. Support levels, caps, eligibility and round status change — confirm the current details on the official programme page before relying on them.
Where dgm fits
Important: these are programmes a business applies for directly with the relevant Hong Kong authority. dgm is an independent AI-integration agency — it is not a registered or approved vendor of any of these schemes (none of them operates a vendor registry), so nothing here implies dgm can secure or deliver a grant-funded engagement. dgm can help scope and build the AI project; eligibility, approval and any claim rest with you and the agency. dgm can help describe the AI project in the terms a programme looks for.
Where dgm fits
dgm is an independent integration partner that helps Hong Kong businesses adopt osFoundry — scoping a first use case, handling the build, and connecting AI to the systems you already run. dgm is independent of osFoundry’s maker (OS LLC) and has no completed client integrations yet, so everything described here is a service offered, not a past result. If you want to scope a practical first project, dgm can help you map it out.
