Technology Acquisition Fund (TAF)

TAF is established to facilitate eligible Malaysian companies in the acquisition of foreign technologies for immediate incorporation into the company's manufacturing activity. TAF's partial grant enables companies to avoid expensive and often risky technology development stages.

The acquisition of technology could be in the form of acquiring know-how / IP exploitation / rights / blueprints via one of the following methods:

• Licensing of technology; and
• Outright purchase of technology

A draft agreement outlaying clearly the clauses (for e.g. licensing fees, royalty, exclusivity, market territories, arbitrary, duration, payment schedule, project milestones and exit clause etc.) between the Technology Provider and the Company (Technology Recipient) is mandatory before applying for the TAF grant.
