Government Convention and Exhibition Industry Subsidy Scheme and SME Export Marketing Fund – Enhanced Version
|
To further assist companies in exploring markets and capturing business opportunities through the Hong Kong trade platform, the HKSAR Government has launched a one-off subsidy scheme to support companies – local or overseas, large or small, to participate in exhibitions organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council. Companies will be subsidised 50 per cent of its participation fee per participation in TDC's exhibitions, subject to a cap of HK10,000/ US 1,282 for each booth and HK$100,000/ US 12,820 for each fair.

Local companies which have obtained subsidy from the scheme, if eligible, can still apply for the Dedicated Fund on Branding, Upgrading and Domestic Sales (BUD Fund) or the SME Export Marketing Fund (EMF) for funding on a matching basis for the remaining exhibition-related expenses. In addition, the subsidy amount of EMF will be based on the original participation fee.

(2) The basic criteria is that the same/connected enterprises should not enjoy the subsidy for more than once at a single event.
