Grants under NCER are structured to support strategic high-impact projects and programmes that contribute directly and significantly toward job creation, development of high-skilled talent, and enhanced ecosystem support incentives. These include sectors such as machinery and equipment, medical technology, electronics, and more. Whether you are a local SME or a foreign multinational company, your investment in NCER can qualify for a matching grant (50:50 ratio) that helps share the financial responsibility between your business and the government, while ensuring no double dipping occurs—meaning no overlapping claims for the same costs under different schemes.
The NCER Technology Innovation Centre (NTIC) plays a vital role in enabling multinational companies to set up innovative projects with long-term value. Eligible costs may include administrative expenses, training costs, and technology development, and the total grant amount is typically subject to ceilings and a maximum of 12 months project duration. Applications must be accompanied by a well-structured proposal and a Letter of Grant, detailing the approved budget and scope. In some cases, scope extensions of time may be granted under specific conditions.
At SMI FUNDING, we also help clients ensure all application fees and project-related expenditures are chargeable in accordance with NCER guidelines. Our team carefully evaluates multiple Clusters of Excellence (CoE), helping businesses identify the best fit for their initiative, while aligning with NCER’s objectives of creating impactful economic outcomes. From local start-ups to local and foreign multinational corporations, SMI FUNDING ensures your project is fully aligned with grant compliance requirements and positioned for approval.
