At the recent Zhongshan High-Quality Development Conference, the city's Bureau of Industry and Information Technology provided a detailed explanation of Zhongshan's "AI+" policies.
These policies focus on four key areas: factor supply, innovative applications, industrial cultivation, and the industrial ecosystem.
For instance, Zhongshan places a strong emphasis on supporting network foundation for AI applications, offering up to 1 million yuan in rewards for information infrastructure projects such as 10-gigabit optical networks. The city also supports the construction of municipal-level AI platforms, providing annual operating subsidies of up to 10 million yuan to offer enterprises services including computing power, models, and data. Additionally, "computing vouchers" will be issued to reduce the cost of computing for enterprises, with a maximum subsidy rate of 50%. Measures such as dataset rewards and subsidies for building trusted data space will also be implemented to enhance data element governance.
Currently, the number of AI enterprises in Zhongshan has exceeded 100, spanning embodied intelligence, visual inspection, and brain-computer interfaces.
