Guide to Filling in the Application Form
General
1. Before filling in the application forms, applicants are requested to read the
paper “Creation of a Favourable Ecological Environment to Facilitate the
Realisation of Research and Development Results” endorsed by the Commerce
and Industry Panel of the Legislative Council in November 2010 (ref. LC paper
no. CB(1) 389/10-11(05) ) available from :
http://www.legco.gov.hk/yr10-11/english/panels/ci/papers/ci1116cb1-389-5-e.pdf.
2. The TCFS aims to enhance the level of collaboration on research and
development (R&D) between organisations in Hong Kong and Guangdong
Province [and Shenzhen]. Details on the categories of projects under TCFS
and the themes/topics for the 2012 TCFS are at Appendix. Applications which
do not fall under the themes/topics will not be considered.
3. Broadly the TCFS provides funding support for two major types of applied
research and development (R&D) projects:-
(a) Platform Projects
All platform projects would require industry sponsorship from at least two
private sector companies to cover at least 10% of the total project cost within
the project period. The companies should not be related to the lead applicant
in terms of ownership or management. The sponsorship can either be in cash
or in-kind or a combination of both. The intellectual property (IP) rights
generated from the project will be owned by the lead applicant which can be
a R&D Centre1 or a designated local public research institute, viz. local
universities, Hong Kong Productivity Council, Vocational Training Council
and Clothing Industry Training Authority. However, in the case of a R&D
Centre project in which the university is undertaking most of the R&D work,
the R&D Centre may be free to agree with the university concerning the
ownership of the intellectual property.
1 The R&D Centres include –
(a) Automotive Parts and Accessory Systems R&D Centre (www.apas.hk);
(b) Hong Kong Research Institute of Textiles and Apparel (www.hkrita.com);
(c) Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute (www.astri.org), including the Hong
Kong Jockey Club Institute of Chinese Medicine;
(d) Hong Kong R&D Centre for Logistics and Supply Chain Management Enabling Technologies
(www.lscm.hk); and
(e) Nano and Advanced Materials Institute (www.nami.org.hk).

Guide to Filling in the Application Form
(b) Collaborative Projects
For collaborative projects, the industry co-applicant should contribute no
less than 50% of the total project cost (or no less than 30% in the case of
R&D Centre projects) within the project period. The IP rights generated
may be owned by the industry co-applicant if it has contributed 50% or more
of the total project cost within the project period. If not, the IP rights
should be owned by the lead applicant. As regards the IP benefit sharing
and related arrangement, it will be subject to negotiation among the parties
concerned and will be set out in the project agreement.
In certain areas, there are different requirements for different types of projects.
As such, please kindly pay attention to this aspect in filling in the application
form.
4. Where the ITF funding for a project exceeds $21 million, approval from the
Finance Committee of the Legislative Council is required.
5. Please use ITF Form 4.0 for applications of platform and collaborative projects
under TCFS.
6. For Category C projects, the application should be completed in Chinese.
The applicant should also enclose the application from its Mainland partner
which should be submitted concurrently to the Guangdong/Shenzhen
authorities.
7. Applications must be submitted to the ITF Secretariat (ITSP Section) either:
(a) in hard copy in triplicate (one original plus two duplicate copies) in person
or by post. Please also kindly provide a soft copy (preferably in MS
Word 2003 or above); or
(b) through the Innovation and Technology Commission Funding
Administrative System (https://www3.itf.gov.hk/?itf_lng=en ).
8. ITC reserves the right to seek additional information where necessary. Unless
on request of the ITF Secretariat, supplementary information provided after
submission of application will NOT be accepted and will NOT form part of the
application.
9. The lead applicant will be notified of the result of its application in writing.
Withdrawal of an application should be made by the lead applicant in writing to
ITF Secretariat at any time before the project agreement is signed.

Guide to Filling in the Application Form
I. Information on Lead Applicant
1. The lead applicant must be an organisation and be either:
(a) a R&D Centre set up under the ITF; or
(b) a designated local public research institute (viz. local universities, Hong
Kong Productivity Council, Vocational Training Council and Clothing
Industry Training Authority).
2. The lead applicant should obtain prior consent of parties concerned in filling in
the application form.
3. Where an application is successful, the lead applicant will enter into a project
agreement with the Government and is required to comply with the terms and
conditions therein, including monitoring project progress and expenditure,
submission of reports and audited accounts, etc.
II. Information on Industry Co-Applicant
1. For platform projects, there will be no industry co-applicant.
2. Industry co-applicant only exists in collaborative projects, which can either be a
private sector company incorporated in Hong Kong under the Companies
Ordinance (Cap. 32), or an industry support organisation, a trade and industry
association or professional body which has capacity to enter into contracts.
III. Information on Sponsor(s)/Supporting Party(ies)
1. There is no limit on the number of sponsors and supporting parties. It is
desirable that letters of support/sponsorship can be enclosed in the application
with the company/organisation chop(s).
Part A The Applicant

Guide to Filling in the Application Form
I. Key Project Details
(A) Total Project Cost
1. The total project cost is the sum of all estimated expenditure to be incurred
(including items to be covered by in-kind contribution) and the
administrative overheads as appropriate. Applicants are required to
provide details of the project cost items under the section ‘Financial
Considerations’ in Part C of the application form.
(B) Industry Sponsorship and Other Sources of Financial Contribution
1. Industry sponsorship refers to sponsorship from private companies which
are not related to the lead applicant in terms of ownership or management
and should in general be the user of the project deliverables. To avoid
conflict of interest situations, such companies should not be the
equipment/service suppliers of the project.
2. Other Sources of financial contribution refers to contribution to the project
obtained from various parties, including funding provided by the lead
applicant, contribution in cash or in-kind from supporting parties, e.g.
charitable organisations, venture capitalists, individuals, etc. It can also
include personal contribution by project team members. They shall exclude
industry sponsorship as mentioned above and project income.
3. Total financial contribution refers to the summation of industry
sponsorship and other sources of financial contribution.
4. Industry sponsorship and other sources of financial contribution can either
be in cash or in-kind or a combination of both. In-kind sponsorship in the
form of equipment or consumables would only be accepted if:
(a) the in-kind sponsorship is essential to the project and is contributed
specifically for the project; and
(b) documentary proof of the value of sponsorship has been provided to
facilitate a fair assessment of the value of contribution, e.g. details of
the valuation for new and used equipment and consumables.
Manpower contribution from industry sponsor and industry co-applicant
will be counted as other sources of financial contribution but not industry

sponsorship.
(C) Payment Schedule
Platform projects
1. Applicants must obtain industry sponsorship of at least 10% of the project
cost from at least two private sector companies to demonstrate reasonable
market interest.
2. As a general rule, at least 50% of the pledged industry sponsorship should
be paid before the project commences and the remaining sponsorship
should be received before the ‘mid-point’ of the project period. Payment
of more than 50% of industry sponsorship upfront will be welcomed.
3. For other sources of financial contribution, consideration will be given to
allowing greater flexibility on the payment schedule but all contribution
must be received by the ‘mid-point’ of the project period.
4. ITF funding will normally be disbursed on a half-yearly basis, subject to
satisfactory project progress against the stated milestones and due payment
of the industry sponsorship and other sources of financial contribution.
Collaborative projects
5. The industry co-applicant should provide at least 50% of the total project
cost (or 30% in the case of R&D Centre projects) within the project period.
The ITF funding is released on a matching basis, i.e. the contribution from
the industry co-applicant should be made first and the disbursement from
ITF will be made afterwards.
(D) Schedule of the Project Period
1. The duration of the project period should not exceed 24 months in general.
There is however no minimum requirement.

(E) Related Information
1. The provision of information on previous research work done and attempt
to seek funding support from sources other than ITF is to enable us to have
a comprehensive understanding of the project proposal, especially relevant
work was funded by University Grants Committee (UGC)/Research Grants
Council (RGC)’s Areas of Excellence Scheme, Theme-based Research
Scheme and Collaborative Research Fund.
- 8 -
Guide to Filling in the Application Form
II. Brief Description of Project Proposal
(A) Location of R&D Work
1. The R&D work funded under ITF should primarily be conducted within
the territory of Hong Kong. However, given the close ties between Hong
Kong and the Mainland, up to 50% of the R&D work of an ITF project can
be conducted (and relevant expenditure incurred) in the Mainland.
2. Where certain R&D tasks need to be conducted outside Hong Kong (other
than the Mainland), prior approval from ITC must be sought with
justifications (e.g. countries/provinces/cities/overseas research institutes
which have entered into technology collaboration agreements/
Memorandum of Understanding with the Government or local
universities/R&D Centres).
(B) Project Milestones
1. The project will be monitored against its stated project milestones. The
lead applicant is required to submit half-yearly progress reports/final report
until project completion. We note that for the first report, there may not
be significant progress in terms of R&D deliverables but we hope all
preparatory work has been completed (e.g. recruitment of staff,
procurement of equipment, etc.).
2. For Category C projects, the applicant should also set out the relevant
milestones of the projects to be carried out by the Mainland partner,
where appropriate.

Guide to Filling in the Application Form
1. The assessment framework comprises 7 components. Their weightings are as
follows:
(a) Innovation and Technology Component (20%);
(b) Technical Capability (20%);
(c) Financial Considerations (16%);
(d) Existence of a Holistic Plan to Realisation/Commercialisation (16%);
(e) Relevance with Government Policies or in Overall Interest of Hong Kong
(12%);
(f) IP Rights and Benefit Sharing (8%); and
(g) Management Capability (8%).
2. In general, the framework aims to achieve the following -
(a) encouraging and selecting projects with greater prospect of
realisation/commercialisation;
(b) facilitating the trial of R&D products (especially in the public sector), so that
researchers and industry can gain actual experience to fine-tune their products,
build up ‘reference’ for subsequent marketing, and bring about wider
economic and social benefits to the community;
(c) motivating the private sector to invest more in R&D activities in Hong Kong;
and
(d) enhancing co-operation among Government, industry, academia and research
institutes (官產學研).
Part C Justifications
- 10 -
Guide to Filling in the Application Form
I. Innovation and Technology Component
1. ITF is set up to finance primarily applied R&D projects that contribute to
innovation or technology upgrading in industry. The innovation and
technology component is hence most important. The project should
primarily pertain to applied research with its deliverables having a reasonable
chance for application in due course.
2. Upstream research will not be accorded priority since this is more within the
ambit of RGC funding. However, if funding by RGC has taken a project
from the stage of foundation research to the stage of applied research, for
instance, in the Areas of Excellence Scheme, we can consider funding under
ITF. This will provide continued support to the R&D activity as well as
establishing better interface between the two key funding sources. The lead
applicant should provide letters of support from the UGC/RGC Secretariat as
appropriate.
(A) Nature of the project
1. On whether the project will give rise to new technologies or products, we will
not always require ‘rocket’ science research, but will consider in the overall
sense if the R&D can bring about benefit to Hong Kong. While ITF funding
is primarily for the benefit of Hong Kong community, and hence the Hong
Kong angle would be of greatest importance, we will take a boarder view in
the field of innovation and technology - if a project may not bring a lot of
benefit to the Hong Kong community but will bring benefit to mankind, we
will give reasonable regard (e.g. crop research to solve the problem of food
shortage).
2. On whether the project will enhance quality of existing products (e.g.
capacity, reliability, speed, etc.), the applicant should set out the magnitude of
improvement.
3. On whether the project will render cost more competitive, the lead applicant
should provide an estimate on the degree of improvement.
4. Applicant should highlight the element of Guangdong/Hong Kong
cooperation in the project proposal (e.g. collaboration between research
institutes and enterprises in Guangdong/Shenzhen and Hong Kong)
- 11 -
Guide to Filling in the Application Form
II. Technical Capability
(A) Viability of technical proposal and quality of technical submission
1. The viability of the technical submission refers to whether, at the current
point in time, the technical proposal is reasonably viable.
2. While the majority of research work should be done locally, there will be a
degree of flexibility. It is acceptable that the R&D team obtains certain
component(s) of technology/product available overseas and builds its own
research on top of this, or contracts out certain component(s) of the research
work. Whilst there is no need to ‘re-invent the wheel’, one must consider the
nature and extent of any technical improvement and whether such
improvement merits IP protection. However the IP angle must be sorted out
appropriately. In addition, the degree must be within a reasonable limit.
3. In assessing the quality of the technical submission, factors such as technical
approach to the problem, accuracy of technical data, reasonableness of
assumptions, etc. will be considered.
(B) Competence of technical team
1. This refers to the ability to instil confidence that the project coordinator and
his team will be able to deliver the proposed project fully on the technical
side (e.g. background and experience of the research team and feasibility of
the R&D work plan).
2. In assessing the research team, apart from studying the CVs of individual
members, we will consider whether the overall size of the team, the mix of
staff at various levels, etc. are appropriate. If the team as a whole has good
track record in the past, it will be favourably considered.
3. The lead applicant is welcome to provide all relevant information to support
the application e.g. industry and academic awards won in the past,
endorsement of outstanding experts in the field, etc.

Guide to Filling in the Application Form
III. Financial Considerations
The lead applicant should ensure that all financial information has been provided in
this section and the basis of calculation is reasonable.
(A) Project Expenditure
1. The lead applicant should provide a breakdown of the estimated project
expenditure to be incurred during the project period.
(a) Manpower
(i) Project funding can be used to cover the salary of project staff,
including employer's mandatory contribution to the Mandatory
Provident Fund (MPF), contract gratuities, annual salary
adjustment (excluding increments and promotion) and general
fringe benefits (e.g. medical) in accordance with the established
mechanism of the relevant R&D Centres and designated local
public research institutes.
(ii) ITF will not fund the emolument to a person who is already on the
payroll of local universities (i.e. existing teaching staff). However,
administrative overheads will be provided to a university
undertaking the project, see part (d) below.
(iii) The lead applicant is required to seek prior consent from ITC for
any change in the key project staff i.e. project coordinator and
deputy project coordinator.
(b) Equipment
(i) The lead applicant should critically examine how the equipment
required for the project can be obtained in the most economical
manner:
- where there is existing equipment, the applicant should first
make use of that;
- where it is cheaper to rent than to purchase, the applicant
should proceed to rent; or
- 13 -
Guide to Filling in the Application Form
- where new equipment is really necessary, it can be purchased.
The applicant should supply information on the expected
usage rate of the equipment e.g. usage time vs. down time and
the plan for alternative use after project completion or
disposal.
We will take into account expected usage rate, mode of acquisition
(purchase vs. rental), future use/divestment (e.g. for
teaching/research purposes at one or more university) to ensure
greatest possible cost effectiveness. Where necessary, ITC will
require the applicant to transfer any equipment whose acquisition
cost is $500,000 or above to the Government or another party (e.g.
Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation) within a
period of two years after project completion.
(ii) The lead applicant and Project Coordinator are encouraged to share
the use of existing equipment within their organisations or with
other organisations where possible (e.g. local universities and Hong
Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation).
(iii) Individual equipment or parts that will eventually form part of the
project deliverables (e.g. the prototype) are regarded as
consumables and the relevant cost should be grouped under other
direct costs.
(iv) The lead applicant is required to seek prior consent from ITC for
change in any equipment with an estimated cost of $500,000 or
above per item.
(v) Project funding cannot be used to cover –
1. charges/time cost for use of existing equipment already
owned by the applicants or industry co-applicant;
2. depreciation/amortisation or provisions not representing
actual expenses incurred; and
3. general office and IT equipment.
(vi) The lead applicant should ensure that all procurement for goods and
services is carried out in an unbiased and fair manner and must
comply with the following procedures, or with the established
mechanism of individual public research institutes:

(c) Other Direct Costs
(i) Project funding can be used to cover –
1. external consultancy;
2. purchase of consumables and technology licences;
3. promotion and marketing activities for disseminating project
deliverables and technology transfer;
4. patent registration fee up to $150,000 per project (except for
collaborative projects where the IPs are owned by the
industry co-applicant); and
5. external audit fees as required by the ITF project agreement.
(The maximum provision allowed for a project costing less
than $1 million, between $1 million and $5 million and more
than $5 million should not exceed $8,000, $14,000 and
$20,000 respectively.)
(ii) Project funding cannot be used to cover other costs like –
1. building facilities (including office, laboratory,
accommodation) – rates, rental, renovation, and operation,
repair and maintenance expenses;
2. costs of setting up office or forming association/consortium;
3. utilities – charges for electricity, gas, water, telephone and
fax;
- 15 -
Guide to Filling in the Application Form
4. transport – shuttle bus services and home to workplace
travelling expenses;
5. general administration and office expenses;
6. staff-related costs – provident fund handling charges, staff
training and development costs and staff facilities;
7. entertainment expenses, and any prizes, either in the form of
cash or other types of souvenirs;
8. advertisement (except for disseminating project deliverables,
or staff recruitment);
9. organisation of trade missions and participation fees at
study/trade missions for individuals/companies;
10. charges for non-R&D services (e.g. accounting, personnel,
procurement, library, security, cleansing, legal, and central
and departmental administrative support) provided by the
lead applicant/industry co-applicant or their
contractors/agents; and
11. capital financing expenses, e.g. mortgage and interest on
loans/overdrafts.
(d) Administrative Overheads
(i) For platform projects undertaken by local universities and the
Vocational Training Council, the application can include
administrative overheads up to 15% of the ITF funding requested
(i.e. net of administrative overheads). For collaborative projects,
the amount will be calculated at 15% of the approved project cost.
Industry co-applicant is required to pay its share of administrative
overheads proportional to its contribution to the project. For
example, if the industry co-applicant contributes 50% the project
cost, it will be required to contribute 50% of the administrative
overheads while ITF contributes the remaining.
(ii) The administrative overheads should be included as part of the
project expenditure. The lead applicant and project coordinator are
welcome to absorb the cost itself and not apply for ITF.
- 16 -
Guide to Filling in the Application Form
(B) Industry Sponsorship/Other Sources of Financial Contribution
1. The minimum industry sponsorship remains to be 10% of the total project
cost for platform projects and 50% of the total project cost for collaborative
projects (30% of the total project cost in case of R&D Centre projects). But
in general, the higher degree of contribution, the stronger industry interest in
the project and hence the greater chance of success to commercialisation.
2. Apart from sponsorship from the industry, there may be other sources of
financial contribution provided by the lead applicant, contributions from
supporting parties, e.g. charitable organisations, venture capitalists,
individuals, etc. It can also include contribution by project team members.
However, other sources of financial contribution may not include industry
sponsorship and project income.
3. The lead applicant is required to provide details on industry sponsorship and
other sources of financial contribution.
4. Under the Research & Development (R&D) Cash Rebate Scheme, industry
sponsorship (including sponsorship contributed by industry co-applicant
under collaborative projects) by a private sector company towards an ITF
project is eligible for cash rebate. Further information on the R&D Cash
Rebate Scheme are available at http://crs.itc.gov.hk.
(C) Project Income and Residual Funds
1. All ITF funding, industry sponsorship, other sources of financial contribution,
project income received during the project period should be credited to the
project account and be used for offsetting project expenditure. After
completion of the project or its earlier termination, the lead applicant shall
return to the Government all unspent funding contributed by the Government,
all residual project income and interest income in the project account, and
any other income under the IP rights benefit sharing as set out in the project
agreement.
- 17 -
Guide to Filling in the Application Form
IV. Existence of a Holistic Plan to Realisation/Commercialisation
1. In the context of ITSP, “Realisation” refers to the R&D product(s) being used
in the public sector. There may not be market in the commercial world (e.g.
specialist equipment for certain law enforcement agencies); whereas
“Commercialization” refers to the R&D product(s) being launched/sold in the
commercial world. It may not always be necessary to prove that the product
will reach the ‘consumer’ market. Just pushing it step(s) down the process of
commercialisation will be acceptable.
2. To enhance the chance of realisation/commercialisation, the applicant should
provide information such as:
(a) at what stage the R&D project is (from concept inception to realisation);
(b) future positioning of the technology/product in the market and potential
market winner;
(c) what will be the exact deliverables/milestones (both qualitative and
quantitative) and at what time frame;
(d) whether ITF funding will be required for a further phase of research
work;
(e) whether there are associated/complementary technology development
projects which will add to chance of realisation i.e. the proposed cluster
project approach; and
(f) whether there are competitors and analysis of their strengths/
weaknesses/opportunities/threats (i.e. SWOT analysis).
3. The applicant should where appropriate supply letter(s) of support e.g. -
(a) from company(ies) interested to take out a license of the project
deliverables for further development;
(b) from manufacturer(s) interested to produce the product in large scale; or
(c) from Government departments or public bodies.
- 18 -
Guide to Filling in the Application Form
V. Relevance with Government Policies or in Overall Interest of
Hong Kong
1. Apart from serving the industry, we will be interested in technologies that will
dovetail Government policies bringing benefit to the community at large, e.g.:
(a) R&D that can support important Government initiatives e.g.
environmental protection and healthcare;
(b) R&D that can bring great social benefit e.g. creating devices to help track
Alzheimer patients to relieve stress of their family members;
(c) R&D that can contribute to upgrading of industry e.g. cleaner method of
production;
(d) R&D that can provide opportunities for training of local scientific
personnel;
(e) R&D that can foster close collaboration among key stakeholders (官產學
研); and
(f) R&D that can enhance the image of Hong Kong internationally.
2. For projects that will involve activities/expenditure outside Hong Kong (e.g.
the Mainland), the lead applicant should provide details to demonstrate the
‘Hong Kong angle’ i.e. benefits that will be enjoyed by the Hong Kong
community.
3. The Government is keen to train up local scientific personnel. Hence, we
hope the R&D team will mainly comprise local staff. However, should it be
necessary to engage overseas expertise, provided that it is within a reasonable
limit, it can also be considered.
- 19 -
Guide to Filling in the Application Form
VI. IP Rights and Benefit Sharing
While seeking a reasonable financial return from commercialisation, we will allow
the necessary flexibility to motivate various stakeholders. In fact, it should be
stressed that the ITF is set up to fulfil the public mission of promoting innovation and
technology and monetary return is not the only consideration.
1. The applicant will be required to provide information on:
(a) whether the R&D result will be ‘patentable’ or protected by other IP rights
and its plan;
(b) whether there is any plan for spin-off in due course and if so, the details;
(c) the proposed formula of benefit sharing among all parties concerned (e.g.
licence fee and royalty); and
(d) whether it will provide unrestricted use of the technology by relevant
Government departments/public bodies.
Platform Projects
2. The lead applicant, which in general will be a R&D Centre or a designated
local public research institute, will normally own all IP rights arising from the
project. (In the case of R&D Centre projects, the Centres may allow the
universities undertaking the research work to retain the IP rights ownership
arising from the projects to facilitate technology transfer and
commercialisation.) For Category C projects, the applicant should set out the
ownership of the IP to be generated from the project and IP benefits sharing
among all parties concerned, including Mainland partners. The lead
applicant and/or the relevant designated local public research institute are
required to disseminate the project deliverables and promote technology
transfer to industry through workshops, seminars, licensing or consultancy,
etc.
3. The lead applicant should try to generate income by charging fees for project
deliverables so as to recoup at least part of the project cost.
4. The Government shall enjoy a royalty-free right to use the IPs as appropriate.
5. Exclusive use of the project deliverables is not allowed (e.g. exclusive licence
or outright transfer of IP rights ownership to another third party) unless with
- 20 -
Guide to Filling in the Application Form
prior consent from ITC, in which case the applicant will normally be required
to follow a competitive process.
Collaborative Projects
6. If the industry co-applicant has actually contributed more than 50% of the total
project cost within the project period, the industry co-applicant will take
ownership of the IP rights of the projects. Otherwise, the lead applicant should
retain the ownership. The industry co-applicant may indicate whether consent
will be given for unrestricted use of the R&D results under the project for
development for use in the public sector (including Government and public
bodies, e.g. Hospital Authority) in Hong Kong in future.
7. The arrangements for benefit sharing (including financial income from the
project) should be agreed among parties concerned e.g. R&D Centres/research
institutes/industry partners. In general, supporting parties making other
sources of financial contribution are not entitled to benefit sharing.
Indemnity
8. If the project involves using background IPs of a third party, the applicant
should indicate in the application form whether the consent/licence for use of
such IPs has been obtained. The applicant shall indemnify and keep
indemnified the Government against any claims, actions, investigations,
demands and all liabilities arising from the use of such IPs on the term set out
in the project agreement.
- 21 -
Guide to Filling in the Application Form
VII. Management Capability
1. Management capability is wider than technical capability. It pertains to
whether the applicant and his entire ‘backup’ can instil confidence in its ability
to bring the whole project to fruition. For example, apart from the research
team, whether the technology transfer office of the university will devote
effort to bring it to realisation, or whether it has the support of companies
already well established in the market.
2. The capacity of the project team will be considered having regard to its
commitments in other areas including on-going ITF projects.
3. We will also where appropriate review the track records to see if the applicant
has delivered in previous applications.

- 12 -
材料已經使用複合輕型材料代替傳統材料,而這些材料的連接需要達到穩定、抗
震、耐熱、耐候、耐酸堿等特性。再如風電行業,風電設備的葉片要求自重輕,
能適應惡劣環境,而且維修難度大、成本高,需要使用高性能的密封膠的來達到
要求。
國內的高性能有機矽密封膠、高分子材料密封膠行業的製造設備和工藝落後,
採用間歇式生產方法,每組生產線的產能低(每七小時生產 3000kg),能耗高
(160KW.h/噸),勞動力多(15~20 人),勞動強度大(人工投料、人工推動料缸),
污染環境(有中間品溢出,粉塵大),並且不能保證穩定製造出高品質膠。由於高

護、橋樑防護、基礎加固、屋面種植、道具製作、護舷製造、水處理設施、工業
地坪等領域具有巨大的應用前景。
當前環境保護和節能工作越來越受到世人的關注。世界各國現都以法規的形
式限制揮發性有機溶劑(VOC)的排放,開發環保型固含量接近 100%聚脲塗料,

服務系統及產品的市場前景廣闊。目前,國內車載多媒體服務系統主要是簡單、
孤立的 GPS 導航系統和基於 CD、DVD、U 盤等音視頻的服務,而先進國家的中高端
車輛車載智能服務系統的普及率已高達 30%以上。廣東作為全國汽車保有量和汽
車電子聚集最多的地區,突破無線智能車載服務系統和產品的關鍵技術,並儘快
實現產業化,具有重大現實意義。
(二)目標與內容
目標:基於移動互聯網、物聯網的新一代智能車載服務系統,突破車載信息

(ii) 互聯網即時視聽支撐平臺研發及應用
(一)項目背景
隨著網路技術的發展,基於互聯網的視聽內容服務已經成為主流,許多人甚
至把互聯網當作獲得視頻內容的主要甚至唯一手段。但是,目前國內的視頻網站
主要還只能傳輸預先處理好的視頻。而對於即時視聽內容如體育比賽、新聞直播、
即時電視節目等還不能即時發佈或只能個別發佈。在美國等發達國家,通過互聯
網提供全面即時視聽內容服務的模式得到快速發展。而在國內,即時互聯網視聽
服務目前基本沒有開展,互聯網即時視聽支撐平臺的缺乏是最主要的原因。因此,
研發互聯網即時視聽支撐平臺,對新一代互聯網即時視聽服務的發展具有極其重
要的意義。
(二)內容與目標
- 15 -
圍繞互聯網即時視聽服務的應用需求,突破互聯網即時視聽處理中的編碼、

發行、影視製作、印刷、廣告、演藝、娛樂、會展等傳統文化產業,加快發展文
化創意、數字出版、移動多媒體、動漫遊戲等新興文化產業,促進文化與科技融
合。目前,國內國產動畫片從 2006 年的 8 萬分鐘增長到 2010 年的 385 部超過 22
萬分鐘,這讓中國動畫在數量上拿到“全球第一”,但高品質動漫或文化創意還
相對比較少,加大動漫與文化創意產業的發展,逐步佔領國內動漫產業的市場份
額,對廣東省搶佔國產動漫產業的高點具有重大推動作用。
(二)目標和內容
基於國內具有巨大潛力的動漫市場,以及廣東省在動漫與文化創意產業發展
的基礎,加大創新力度,推動多產業聯動發展,鼓勵粵港合作,引進港方在動漫

(iv) 食品安全監管與追溯智慧化技術研究與應用
(一)、項目背景
近年來,國內外相繼發生多起食品安全事件,如“蘇丹紅”、“毒奶粉”、
“瘦肉精”、“地溝油”、“毒鴨蛋”、“工業鹽醬油”等。這些食品安全事件
已嚴重威脅國民生活和健康的問題,引發了人們對食品安全空前的擔憂。雖然內
地政府不斷加強監管力度,但國內食品安全正面臨嚴峻挑戰,存在的主要問題有:
第一,由於食品種類繁多、生產範圍廣、部分產品生產過程複雜、週期長、
步驟多、人工高、原料貴,加上消費者大都不知如何分辨真假,於是,使用劣質
原料、添加有毒物質便成為不法商家快速生產的慣常做法且難以監管。
第二,少數食品生產商缺乏必要的社會責任感和守法意識,或不具備安全生
產食品的實力,為追求最大產品利潤,罔顧消費大眾利益,以次充好、以假亂真,
更有甚者超量使用食品添加劑,濫用非食品加工用化學添加劑,造成極大的食品
安全隱患。
第三,當前,國內政府主管部門主要針對食品銷售進行管理,工作重點僅放
在食品檢驗檢疫上,而對食品生產和加工過程缺乏監督,或監管力度不夠,並不
能對食品“生產、加工、檢疫、運輸、倉儲、銷售”的整個供應鏈實行有效監控。
第四,消費者不瞭解食品生產過程,普遍存在“便宜沒好貨”的消費心理。
但由於城市居民農業知識匱乏,根本無法區別食品好壞,他們往往只認標籤,至
於裡麵包的是什麼,則沒有辦法判斷。而且,消費者對食品生產來源、物流過程
等情況無法獲知,僅能以價位高低作為衡量食品安全與否的唯一標準。
長期以來,在食品安全控制方面,國際上通用的方法是 HACCP(危害分析與
關鍵控制點)、GMP(良好加工操作規範)及 ISO9000。這些技術主要是對食品的
生產、加工環境進行控制,以保證食品在整個生產過程中免受可能發生的生物、
化學、物理因素的危害,將可能發生的危害消除在生產過程中。但是,這些技術
不能對那些在流通過程中出現的問題進行監控,無法準確、快速地找出根源所在,
- 17 -
從而及時採取有效措施,減少對人們健康的更大損害,並明確相關責任主體。因
此,對食品從生產到消費的供應鏈全程進行追蹤,並在發生問題後進行追溯,就
成為監控食品安全,保障消費者健康的必要手段,而這也是食品行業急需整頓、
規範的核心所在。
但是食品追溯在國內起步相對較晚,雖然全國各地紛紛建立起各自的可追溯
體系,但是從國家層面,尚沒有具體的標準指南對可追溯體系需要的信息記錄進
行統一的指導和規範。因此,規範企業科學合理的建立食品可追溯體系,完善標
準化的資訊記錄,成為開展食品追溯工作的當務之急。
(二)、內容與目標
(1)建立統一編碼標籤體系,以雲服務與多種網路連接為基礎,利用一二維
條碼、RFID 射頻技術、GIS/GPS 技術、環境感測器技術等多種技術手段,實現對
食品“生產、加工、檢疫、運輸、倉儲、銷售”整個供應鏈的資料獲取與跟蹤、
記錄、監控。
(2)建立食品可追溯機制,構建一套完整的食品安全保障體系。
(3)建立一個食品安全監管與追溯公共服務平臺。
(4)支援多種查詢方式,如:網站查詢、短信查詢、電話查詢、智慧終端機
查詢等。
(5)將食品安全監管系統和追溯系統有機結合,實現資料共用。
(三)主要指標
1、項目的關鍵技術和產品的整體性能要有明顯的創新性和先進性,提升行業
技術水準和促進產業升級,主要技術性能指標應達到國內領先水準;
2、核心技術應擁有自主智識產權,至少形成相關的行業標準規範 1 項、申請
發明專利 5 項、獲得軟體著作權 3 項。
