As the Enterprise Development Grants budget is limited, not all applications will be successful and the fact that an application meets basic entry criteria does not guarantee a grant. Grants are offered on a 50:50 reimbursement basis. They can be used for a wide variety of activity, but some costs considered to be normal operational expenses will not be covered.

This 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.

The Foundation for Research Science and Technology has introduced a new pilot scheme that aims to provide for the needs of Maori collectives, namely Iwi authorities, Trust Boards or incorporations; runanga; hapu, whanau or whenua-based trusts and marae committee. It has been specifically devised to assist Maori collectives that, for mostly commercial reasons, are ineligible for other grants within the Technology New Zealand scheme, yet have access to or control of scarce or valuable resources with clear commercial potential.
