NITTP Courses

Introduction to NITTP

New Industrialisation and Technology Training Programme (NITTP) is a funding scheme subsumed under the New Industrialisation Support Scheme of the Innovation and Technology Fund. It aims at subsidizing local companies on a 1:1 matching basis to train their staff in advanced technologies, especially those related to “New Industrialization”. These technologies should be advanced in nature and not yet widely adopted in Hong Kong. The adoption of such technologies should also benefit the economy of Hong Kong.

Funding Ceiling: Each enterprise is subject to a funding ceiling of HK$250,000 in each financial year at the course commencement date.

Funding model: Reimbursement of funds (enterprises can choose to pre-disburse 50% of the approved training subsidy amount)

Two types of training courses are supported under the NITTP:

Public course (local or non-local training) – a training course that is open to the public for enrollment.
Tailor-made course (local or non-local training) – a training course that is designed for a particular company (or companies).
