What HKSTP incubation provides
HKSTP’s incubation programmes — Incu-Tech (deep-tech and AI hardware), Incu-App (software and services) and Incu-Bio — nurture start-ups from ideation through commercialisation with graduated financial and facility support (confirm the current cap on the live page).
Who it suits
These programmes are for start-ups building a venture, not established businesses adopting an off-the-shelf AI tool. AI-specific co-incubation tracks with cloud partners also exist. Note that the Technology Voucher Programme (TVP), Hong Kong’s best-known SME tech-adoption funding, stopped accepting new applications after 31 December 2024 — so it is not an active route for a new AI project, despite many older blogs still listing it.
How to start
Check the HKSTP incubation pages for the current cohort, support level and eligibility. Support levels, caps, eligibility and round status change — confirm the current details on the official programme page before relying on them. 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.
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.
