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).

(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.

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

- 5 -


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

Part B The Project

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.

- 7 -


(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 -


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.

- 9 -


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 -


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 -


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.

- 12 -


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 -


- 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:

- 14 -


Aggregated value of

each procurement

Requirement

Below $50,000

Quotations from at least two

suppliers

$50,000 - $1,430,000

Quotations from at least five

suppliers

Above $1,430,000

Open tender

(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 -


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 -


(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 -


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 -


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 -


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 -


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 -


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.

Appendix

2012 Guangdong-Hong Kong

Technology Cooperation Funding Scheme

Introduction

To strengthen technology development between Hong Kong and

Guangdong, the governments of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region

(HKSAR) and Guangdong Province jointly set up the Guangdong-Hong Kong

(v) 清潔化高效率高性能密封膠自動成套生產線


隨著汽車、高鐵、風電、太陽能、電子、建築等行業的發展，對新型高性能密

封膠的要求越來越高。如汽車行業，新型汽車必須符合節能、減重的趨勢，很多

- 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

性能密封膠對多個行業的廣泛影響，研究並製造能夠大批量穩定生產清潔化高性

能密封膠的自動化生產設備具有重大的經濟和社會意義。

（二）主要內容和目標

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，

在生產和使用過程中幾乎不釋放揮發性有機溶劑，也是當務之急。

(d) 現代服務業：

(i) 無線智慧車載服務系統與產品的研發與產業化


隨著移動互聯網技術的發展，以及國內汽車消費的日益普及，無線智能車載

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。


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

採集、車載智能終端、移動音視頻編/解碼、多媒體信息服務平臺等關鍵技術，整

- 14 -

合已有的互聯網服務系統，形成具有競爭力的新一代智能車載服務系統和產品，

5、形成自主智識產權，申請發明專利 5 件。

(ii) 互聯網即時視聽支撐平臺研發及應用


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、

內容管控、傳輸、內容保護以及使用者管理等領域的關鍵技術，形成支援電視、

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

與文化方面的創意思想，培養相關領域創意人才，推進廣東省動漫與文化產業發

展。

(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。


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。
