To be considered for the NRC-IPF, an applicant must be:
- A technology-based business with a novel product or process in the ICT sector and
- Exploring a venture with plans to develop a new business or looking at expanding an existing enterprise into a new area.
Selection will be based on a match between the candidate’s business and the entry criteria.
