The funding scope of the Public Sector Trial Scheme and the Internship Programme under the Innovation & Technology Fund have been expanded, supporting local start-ups and encouraging graduates to pursue a career in the I&T industry.
The Public Sector Trial Scheme has been extended to include incubatees of the Hong Kong Science & Technology Parks Corporation and Cyberport for trials of their technologies or products in the public sector. The funding ceiling for each project is $1 million.
The Internship Programme has also been extended to cover incubatees and small-and-medium-enterprise tenants of the Hong Kong Science & Technology Parks Corporation and Cyberport, subsidising them to recruit up to two graduates from local universities as interns. Each intern will be offered a monthly allowance of up to $16,500.
