Dana Pengkomersialan
The programme is designed to address the critical gap between proven technology and real-world deployment, helping innovations cross the “Valley of Death” through structured milestones, validation pathways, and industry readiness support.

What is Dana Pengkomersialan?
Dana Pengkomersialan supports market-ready innovations that need targeted interventions to achieve adoption, scalability, and sustainability. It focuses on commercial readiness rather than early-stage R&D, enabling innovators to progress from validated technology to tangible market outcomes. It delivered through three integrated pillars:
Implementation Model
Structured Implementation
Post-completion Commercialisation Support

Maklumat Lanjut
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
