18. [ WHY ]
為什麼
申請計畫資源？
1. 選擇CITD＝開發產品＋傳產加值：
藉由產品設計帶領傳統產業提昇技術或轉型，增加附加價值。
2. 有足夠的經費才有足夠的執行力：
提昇過程中研發的投入能量，實質的提升訂單與研發成本，企業能夠更專心
於研發。
3. 通過補助＝政府有力背書：
增加企業的可信度（談判籌碼），藉由政府補助專案的背後支持，讓廠商更
信賴企業後續的執行保障，增加傳產更積極投入的意願，進而提昇廠商執行
力與產品質量。
18

19. [ HELP ]
計畫對
事業發展幫助？
1. 最實質的挹注：
有了經費才能讓無形計畫變成有形成果。
2. 藉由計畫申請過程檢視⾃自⼰己：
申請過程中，專家委員的意見能夠協助更嚴謹的規劃執行研發計畫，更明確
的修正計畫中的缺點，有形無形能夠讓設計研發過程更完善。
3. 計畫完成之後才是開始：
因為更放心的研發，在計畫完成後能夠投注更多心力於行銷推廣研發成果，
開始讓計畫成果化為實質收益，商業化才能永續發展。
19

20. [ HOW ]
如何準備申請
技巧分享
1. 數字概念：
無形的研發創意固然重要，化為有形的評估數字更重要，才能讓計畫明確有
效率的執行。
2. 『1+1>2』：
徹底了解計畫的用意，研發不是為了計畫而研發，而是研發因為計畫協助增
加了實現的可能，要相輔相成發揮最大效益。
3. 經費核銷觀念：
養成循序漸進的執行過程，提早規劃，讓團隊成員彼此了解專案進度並分
工，才能更有效完整的運用計畫經費。
