<h1>Government recognizes tech firm as approved in-house R&D unit, unlocking incentives while raising compliance and export control duties</h1> A technology company has been granted formal recognition by a government research department as an approved in-house R&D unit, validating its advanced semiconductor and silicon photonics research activities and cleanroom capabilities. The designation may enable access to government R&D incentives, tax benefits and research grants, enhance eligibility for public procurement and collaboration programs, and strengthen claims for R&D expenditure and related IP development. The recognition also increases regulatory visibility, potentially triggering compliance obligations for reporting, audit of R&D claims, and adherence to export controls and technology transfer restrictions relevant to high-performance photonics and semiconductor packaging.
