How to apply
It's easy to apply for a Technology Transfer Voucher. It's available on-demand for businesses and projects that meet the criteria and objectives of the voucher programme.
Registration is required. Within two business days of receiving your registration, we will email you login details for access to the Ministry's secure MSI portal.
Once you complete and submit your application through the MSI portal, we'll assess your application, make a decision and notify you of the outcome. The timing of your application and level of funding requested will determine how long the application process will take.
If awarded a voucher, a contract will be set up, and you'll have three months to engage an accredited R&D partner on your R&D project, complete a contract with that organisation, and advise the MSI accordingly.
