Innovation and Technology Fund (ITF) - Research Talent Hub

To nurture technology talent and encourage them to pursue a career in innovation and scientific research, the Innovation and Technology Commission (ITC) merged the Researcher Programme and Postdoctoral Hub to become the Research Talent Hub (RTH) on 1 July 2020 to provide funding support for eligible organisation/company to engage research talents for research and development (R&D) work. The RTH provides funding support for organisations/companies undertaking R&D projects funded by the Innovation and Technology Fund (ITF)1 (RTH-ITF), incubatees and innovation and technology (I&T) tenants of the Hong Kong Science & Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTPC) and the Hong Kong Cyberport Management Company Limited (Cyberport) (RTH-SPC), as well as technology companies conducting R&D activities in Hong Kong (RTH-TC) to engage research talent to conduct R&D work. Technology companies conducting R&D activities in Hong Kong who are also incubatees and I&T tenants of the HKSTPC and the Cyberport should apply under the RTH-SPC.
