Technical Development Incentive (TDI) Scheme

Download Technical Development Incentive brochure

Invest NI’s Technical Advisory Unit (TAU) manages the Technical Development Incentive (TDI) scheme. This assists companies to overcome many obstacles by providing appropriate technical and process service support.

Areas that can be supported (subject to TAU eligibility assessment) include:

• investigating new technologies or processes
• product and process problem resolution
• product approval and compliance
• process compliance schemes
• intellectual property
• improved product design and performance

How will it help me?

The scheme assists small enterprises (less than 50 full-time employees) with technical development support to solve problems or address issues. Ideally it may then accelerate companies towards Invest NI’s larger Research & Development & Innovation schemes, to further improve competitiveness.

Who is eligible?

Invest NI clients or potential clients with less than 50 full-time employees are eligible to apply:
