Match support to product stage and genuine technical challenges. The plan replaces neither customer validation nor visa requirements.
Teams facing genuine technical uncertainty can budget experiments, prototypes and customer validation separately. Existing ESS and HKSTP incubation may fit; they are not automatic grants created by this plan.
Related existing support entry verified; eligibility is not guaranteedAccounting, inventory, support and document automation may generate demand. Buying software is different from researching new technology; solo operators should not present ordinary AI use as R&D eligibility.
No verified direct application entrySmall intercontinental firms and freelancers can assess translation, certification preparation, logistics integration and digital-document services. These are potential customer needs, not automatic market access.
No verified direct application entryStudents can prioritise transferable skills; researchers can frame industry problems; businesses can prepare internship, validation or licensing partnerships.
No verified direct application entryPotential needs include care workflows, accessibility, training and validated assistive devices, not only drug-discovery startups.
No verified direct application entryEnergy audits, building upgrades and emissions measurement may create demand. Verifiable savings matter more than a green label.
No verified direct application entryBusinesses can develop auditable workflows, accessible interfaces and security testing. Reform may create demand, not a vendor appointment or live tender.
No verified direct application entryMultinationals can assess Hong Kong platforms; growing firms can prepare institutional-investor materials. Small intercontinental businesses may also fit: geography is not company size.
