Types of Financial Support

• Non-Repayable Grants: Non-repayable support is typically provided by research groups at universities or research institutions and various organizations to demonstrate technology or develop a prototype or semi-industrial product or technology.
• Facilities (Loans): This type of support is primarily for companies to transform a semi-industrial technological product into an industrial or commercial product.
• Convertible Facilities (Loans with a Percentage Convertible to Grants): This type of support is also for companies, usually to convert a prototype of a technological product into a semi-industrial or industrial one.
• Grants for Laboratory Network Use
• Financial Support for Obtaining Product Licenses and Standards (as grants or loans)

Non-Financial Support

• Facilitation for Obtaining Knowledge-Based Licenses and other required permits.
• Facilitation for participation in domestic and international trade exhibitions.
• Facilitation for establishing presence in science and technology parks, innovation centers, and accelerators.
• Facilitation for connecting with international scientific and research groups.

• Prototype: The creation of a prototype of a technological product that has passed the technology validation stage and is produced as a desktop sample (not in a laboratory setting).
• Semi-Industrial Prototype: A semi-industrial prototype is a packaged technological product with final technical specifications, capable of functioning in an environment similar to the working environment in the laboratory, but its equipment and facilities have not yet been optimized.
• Industrial Prototype: An industrial prototype of a technological product has the performance and technical specifications of the final product. It is capable of operating in real-world conditions outside the laboratory, and its facilities have been optimized, meeting all technical standards.
• Commercial Product: A finalized technological product that has received all technical standards and sales licenses. Multiple copies have been produced, optimized, and mass-produced.
