The TeD scheme uses a bottom-up approach based on research and innovation ideas proposed by applicants. The scheme focuses on technology development projects that already have a strong technical foundation and clear commercial potential. This approach helps speed up the process of turning research projects into commercial products or services.



Objectives

  1. To provide funding support for R&D projects that support government policies, roadmaps, action plans, and national initiatives.

  2. To develop innovative technologies, products, or processes that can solve industry challenges and create positive socioeconomic impact in line with the country’s STI policies and the 13th Malaysia Plan (RMK13).

  3. To improve and strengthen existing technology, product, or process designs towards commercialisation and help bridge the technology development gap (“valley of death”). Technology readiness will be measured using the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) scale.

  4. To strengthen the R&D ecosystem through strategic collaboration between Government Research Institutes (GRI), Higher Education Institutions (IPT), and industry players.

Eligibility Criteria

  1. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and Start-up companies that meet the following minimum requirements:

  2. Registered with the Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM);

  3. Majority ownership by Malaysian citizens (more than 50%);

  4. Minimum paid-up capital of RM10,000;

  5. Business must be technology or innovation-based;

  6. Must have been operating for at least one (1) year and not more than five (5) years.

  7. The proposed project must achieve at least Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 4, with a proven concept (POC) or a working prototype.
