Technology vouchers are designed to help companies improve technology applications
The 2020/21 Budget proposes to increase the funding ceiling of the Technology Voucher Program from 400,000 to 600,000 from April 1, 2020, and increase the funding ratio from two-thirds (66.7%) to three-quarters (75%) , In order to encourage local enterprises to use technological solutions and systems, so as to enhance the competitiveness of Hong Kong enterprises or upgrade and transform.
After the announcement of the relevant measures, TVP-hk Hong Kong Technology Voucher Consultants received a large number of enquiries. Especially in recent months, the Wuhan pneumonia epidemic has been severe. Many small and medium-sized enterprises hope to use government funding to enhance the application of technology. Few traditional industries, such as wholesale, trade, and construction, are aware of the importance of technology. Whether it is a social incident or a pneumonia epidemic, it affects transportation and the flow of people. Not only do guests fail to come, which directly reduces the desire to spend, even employees may have to work from home, bringing the company’s operations to a halt.
I only smell technology coupons, I don’t know the details
Although the Innovation and Technology Commission responsible for the technology voucher scheme and other government departments or agencies, such as the Trade and Industry Department and the Hong Kong Productivity Council, often hold seminars on technology voucher, many small and medium-sized enterprises still have little knowledge of the technology voucher scheme. For persons in charge of small and medium-sized enterprises, resources generally tend to be used for sales and promotion. Technology solutions are often only a saving of expenses. Therefore, they seldom learn about technology solutions actively, and their knowledge of commercial technology applications is limited to desktop computers and office software. .
Another kind of boss sees that the amount of technology voucher subsidy is very large, so he ignores actual needs and may add a powerful enterprise resource planning system (ERP), but he has not thought about how to support employees and customers. Pay a maintenance fee. To understand how technology voucher can help a company, you must first understand your own problems before you can search for appropriate technology solutions. Otherwise, you only apply for applications as described above. I believe it will be difficult for the Innovation and Technology Agency to understand how technology projects can enhance the productivity of the company.
The purpose is clear. Technology voucher can do more with less
As with all business decisions, any action must first set a goal before the plan can achieve the goal. The problems faced by general business are mainly insufficient productivity, high cost or difficult risk control. For example, a technology voucher case of TVP-hk is a trading company that mainly relies on the website to find overseas buyers, but the website has been used for many years and the content management system (CMS) is very difficult to use. It takes a lot of time to update the product. New employees have to receive training before they can use CMS. After calculation, the company believes that rebuilding the website can save a lot of human resources, so it decided to use technology coupons. Related plans. It turned out that the new website system is indeed much easier to use, and can support more marketing functions, adding value to the website.
Technology Voucher Application Eligibility
As long as there is a non-listed company with substantial operations in Hong Kong, you can apply for TVP technology coupons (whether it is a limited company or an unlimited company). It must prove the actual operation. In addition to business registration and company registration, it must also have employees and income and expenses. General MPF MPF contribution records, receipt invoices and bank records are sufficient.
The approval principles of the Innovation and Technology Administration include: the relevance of the technology plan and the business, the feasibility of the technology plan, and the reasonableness of the technology plan budget
