The D-Biz Programme is a Hong Kong government-driven initiative to support enterprises in continuing their businesses and services through the adoption of IT solutions.

Under the Anti-Epidemic Fund, the Innovation and Technology Commission (ITC) has launched the Distance Business (D-Biz) Programme to support enterprises to continue their business and services during the epidemic. The Programme provides funding support through fast-track processing for enterprises to adopt IT solutions for developing distance business. The Hong Kong Productivity Council is the Secretariat of the Programme.

The approval process is estimated to take about 10-20 working days.
