"For this round we would in particular like to receive proposals under the themes of 'Smart Technologies for Helping Combat Climate Change', 'Healthy Ageing', 'Smart City', 'Cyber Security' and 'FinTech'. However, proposals not falling under these themes would also be accepted," a spokesman for the ITC said.
