Looking to upgrade your business with technology solutions? We're here to assist you! The HKSAR Government has established the "Third-party Logistics Service Provider Subsidy Pilot Scheme" (Pilot Scheme) to boost the competitiveness of the logistics industry in Hong Kong. This initiative encourages the adoption of technology applications to enhance efficiency and productivity. The Pilot Scheme has been further enhanced this year, with a maximum cumulative funding ceiling of HK$2 million for each applicant enterprise. It now covers Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) technology solutions, implementation consultancy services, and project-based training associated with logistics technology solutions. This expansion aims to promote green and sustainable logistics in the industry.
Additionally, the Government has launched two funding schemes related to logistics. The "Professional Training on Smart and Green Logistics Scheme" has been enhanced with effect from 4 October 2024 to include courses that operate on a self-financing basis with a view to providing more diversified course options to logistics industry practitioners. Eligible applicants are refunded 80% of the course fees after satisfactory completion of a pre-approved course, subject to a funding cap of HK$30,000 per applicant. The "Logistics Promotion Funding Scheme" supports logistics-related organisations and professional bodies in organising promotional campaigns and activities, with up to 100% funding.
To learn more about the details of the above-mentioned funding schemes and their updates, the Hong Kong Productivity Council, as the secretariat of the schemes, will be hosting a webinar to introduce the latest information on each scheme.
