The TVP was Hong Kong’s best-known SME tech-adoption funding — but it stopped accepting new applications after 31 December 2024. What that means for AI projects, and where to look instead.
dgm is an independent osFoundry integration partner — not affiliated with osFoundry’s maker (OS LLC), and dgm has no completed client integrations yet.
The Technology Voucher Programme (TVP) was, for years, the first place a Hong Kong SME looked to co-fund technology adoption. The most important fact in 2026 is that it is no longer open to new applications.
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Status | CLOSED to new applications after 31 December 2024 |
| Historical cap | HK$600,000 cumulative per enterprise (context only) |
| Historical ratio | 3:1 (Government : enterprise) — government covered 75% (context only) |
| Where to look now | ITF categories, BUD, Cyberport, HKSTP, NIFS |
What the TVP was
The TVP co-funded SMEs adopting technology services and solutions, historically up to HK$600,000 cumulatively per enterprise on a 3:1 (Government:enterprise) basis — so the Government covered about 75% — across up to a set number of projects. Suppliers did not need to be pre-registered, but procurement had to be open and competitive with multiple quotations.
Why this matters now
The TVP stopped accepting new applications after 31 December 2024. The Government’s review concluded the programme had achieved its original intent, and the ITF funding index no longer lists it. Only applications received before the deadline are still being processed. Any 2026 marketing that presents the TVP as a live route for a new AI project is wrong.
Where to look instead
For AI and digital projects now, look to the ITF categories, the BUD Fund (for upgrading and market expansion), Cyberport and HKSTP programmes, and the New Industrialisation Funding Scheme. 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.
