Commercialisation of Research & Development Fund (CRDF 1)

CRDF 1 is a grant for the commercialisation of R&D output from public and private University (PPU) / Government Research Institute (GRI) by a Spin-Off company ("Syarikat Terbitan University, STU"). A spin off company is defined as a company with local Public and Private University/Government Research Institution ownership.
