Synopsis of the Scheme
ITSP (Platform & Seed) aims to support applied research and development (R&D) projects undertaken by R&D Centres or designated Hong Kong public research institutes to transfer the R&D results to Hong Kong industries. And it especially allows part of the research work to be carried out on the mainland.
ITSP (Platform & Seed) supports two types of R&D projects, namely platform and seed projects. Platform projects refer to applied R&D projects which aim to benefit the industry collectively or certain sectors of it and have the potential for commercialization. Seed projects are exploratory and forward-looking, providing the foundation for future applied R&D projects.
Eligibility
- The lead applicant must be a Hong Kong R&D Centre or a designated Hong Kong public research institute.
- Faculties members of HKUST(GZ) can participate as Co-Investigator (Co-I).
For detailed eligibility requirements, please refer to the program guidelines.
Proposal Submission
Applicants shall submit the proposal via ITC Funding Administrative System.
Institutional Quota

Notes
- Up to 50% of the R&D work of the project can be conducted (and relevant expenditure incurred) in the Mainland.
- All platform projects require industry sponsorship of at least 10% of the total project cost from at least one company, while sponsorship requirement is not mandatory for seed projects.
