Enhanced DTSPP
The Hong Kong government has announced that it will enhance the Digital Transformation Support Pilot Programme (DTSPP), using matching grants to help more SMEs adopt AI and cybersecurity solutions.
This page summarises what has been announced, how SMEs can prepare, and the related articles. Eligibility, funding amounts and timelines remain subject to the latest official announcement.
Three things to get clear first.
What has been announced
The government has said it will enhance the DTSPP and extend support to more SMEs adopting AI and cybersecurity; funding continues to be based on matching grants.
What is published is a direction, not the final rules — sector scope, funding amounts and approval steps are still to come.
How SMEs can prepare
Identify the processes that take the most time, cause the most errors or affect customer experience most, then set a measurable goal for each — shorter response times, less duplicate entry.
Take stock of existing systems (website, online shop, CRM, accounting tools) so you can match them against future requirements.
How we can help
Needs assessment, solution design, quotation, implementation and ongoing support — plus help checking application requirements against the formal guidelines, so you do not buy tools you will never use.
One team from process review through to delivery and acceptance.
