QRDI Council administers the Technology Development Grant as a company R&D co-funding program. It supports companies seeking to conduct R&D to develop a new product, process, or service and is tied to carrying out the project through a Qatar company.

The captured opportunity page states that the maximum amount for a TDG project grant is QAR 10 million and that supported projects run for 1 to 3 years. It also states that the captured cycle was closed, with an application submission deadline of 20 September 2025. The captured facts do not state a minimum award, total pool, expected award count, decision timing, or numeric scoring rubric.

Eligibility is company-centered. Any company incorporated in Qatar may apply, and companies, startups, multinationals, and large local enterprises based outside Qatar may apply if they undertake to register a company in Qatar to carry out the project if awarded. That gives for-profit companies a direct path.

Applications run through the QRDI Innolight opportunity page and linked guidelines. Because the captured cycle is closed, applicants should monitor QRDI for the next TDG cycle and confirm the current guideline PDF before preparing a budget or project plan.
