Maklumat Lanjut

What is Dana Pengkomersialan?

Dana Pengkomersialan is a national commercialisation instrument designed to strengthen late-stage commercialisation, helping technologies and innovations that have been validated move through the final mile toward market adoption and real-world deployment. The emphasis is on outcomes, not just activity, so the programme is built to support readiness, implementation, and uptake.

What is Dana Pengkomersialan not?

It is not an early-stage research grant and it is not meant for idea-stage projects that still require fundamental discovery work. It is also not automatic funding, selection is competitive and subject to published criteria, governance checks, and available allocation. The programme is designed to back credible pathways to adoption, not to fund experimentation without a clear route to use.

Who is Dana Pengkomersialan for?

It is for organisations with innovations that are already past the early proof stage and are ready to take the next step toward adoption, implementation, and scaling. Applicants should be able to show ownership or rights to commercialise, a capable delivery team, and a clear plan that links the innovation to real users, buyers, or deploying partners.

What kind of innovations are suitable?

Suitable innovations are those with validation evidence and a clear use case, where the next barrier is commercialisation execution, not basic research. This could include solutions that have been tested in relevant settings, have pilot results, or can demonstrate performance, readiness steps, and demand signals. The strongest applications usually show both technical credibility and a realistic adoption pathway.

What outcomes does the programme expect?

The programme is outcome-driven. Outcomes may include adoption by users or deploying partners, completed pilots that lead into deployment decisions, commercial contracts, market traction, or other approved indicators that reflect real-world implementation. The intent is to see innovations move into use, generate measurable impact, and build confidence for scaling.

How do I apply?

Applications are submitted through the official information and application pathway on this page. The website will provide the open call details, eligibility notes, required documents, and the step-by-step instructions to submit. To avoid confusion, applicants should rely only on the official website instructions, and not on forwarded screenshots or informal summaries.

What documents or information will I typically need?

While requirements may vary by call, applicants should be ready with basic organisation details, an innovation summary, validation evidence, a commercialisation plan, a delivery timeline, and a proposed budget aligned to eligible cost items. You may also be asked for declarations related to governance and conflict-of-interest. Always refer to the checklist published on this page for the final list.

How does the evaluation process work, and what are the main criteria?

Applications are assessed against the published criteria, typically covering validation strength, commercial viability, feasibility of deployment, capability to deliver, and the likelihood of achieving meaningful outcomes. Reviews may include technical and commercial assessment, and governance checks. Where applicable, shortlisted applicants may be contacted for clarification or further steps as defined in the call.

What is the expected timeline from application to decision?

The timeline depends on call volume and evaluation stages, but applicants should expect a structured review period after the closing date. The programme will publish timeline expectations on this page where possible, including key dates such as the application window, assessment period, and indicative notification timeframe.

Where do I get official updates or ask questions?

For official updates, always refer to mranti.my and MRANTI’s official social media channels, as these are the only authoritative sources for announcements, changes, and call status updates. For enquiries, use the official contact channel listed on mranti.my so your questions are tracked and answered consistently.
