Technology for Business GrowthThis programme provides funding for innovative technological developments, which result in the business moving towards high-value, high-margin products, processes or services, and/or markets. Funding is available for up to 50% of project research and development (R&D) costs. This may include funding for experienced researchers or students to work on R&D projects. The Technology for Business Growth (TBG) funding should be a good investment opportunity when compared with the sales income and the technology advance. The company should be capable of funding its share of project cost and subsequent commercialisation costs. Typical projects range upwards from $20,000 (total project cost) up to large projects exceeding $800,000. For further information, contact Technology New Zealand
