MOSTI MTDC Technology Acquisition Fund sits under the Malaysian Technology Development Corporation, which was founded in 1992 as Malaysia's first government venture-capital firm for commercialising university-developed technologies. MTDC has since widened into venture capital, ecosystem development, talent training, and advisory services, so the fund inherits a larger commercialisation platform rather than standing alone. The programme is a rolling grant route in Malaysia with awards from MYR 500,000 to MYR 8 million. Applicants must be registered and operating in Malaysia, individuals are excluded, and the route is designed for domestic companies rather than personal applications. MTDC's wider investment platform reaches seed stage through Series B and covers electrical and electronics, semiconductors, Industry 4.0, healthcare and life sciences, food security, the green economy, aerospace, and mobility. The fund is most useful to Malaysian firms that need technology-acquisition capital inside a commercialisation environment rather than a one-off subsidy. The strongest fit is a company with a clear technology case, a domestic operating base, and a plan that can use MTDC's venture and advisory ecosystem alongside the grant.
