At the same time, enterprises are encouraged to "strengthen the regulations", and one-time support of 300,000 yuan and 100,000 yuan will be given to artificial intelligence enterprises that have newly won the titles of national specialized and special new "little giant" and provincial specialized and special new small and medium-sized enterprises.
The Measures also specify that enterprises will be supported to go public on the stock market, and 1 million yuan of financial support will be given to AI enterprises that intend to be listed on major domestic trading venues and whose listing applications are formally accepted by the China Securities Regulatory Commission or the Beijing Stock Exchange (except those that have already been issued); For AI enterprises that are listed for the first time, financial support of up to 1% of the actual net fundraising amount (net of issuance expenses) will be given up to 3.5 million yuan.
Encourage state-owned capital to link up with social capital to empower the development of artificial intelligence
In terms of building an AI industry ecology, the Measures require that the gathering of high-end factors be supported, and state-owned capital and social capital are encouraged to jointly form artificial intelligence sub-funds to invest in the introduction of high-quality projects and enterprises. If a venture capital enterprise introduces high-tech enterprises that have invested in artificial intelligence from outside the region (outside the province or overseas) to land in Chengdu, the venture capital enterprise will be given an incentive of 2% of the actual investment amount and a cumulative total of not more than 10 million yuan. For local (or relocated) artificial intelligence enterprises invested by angel investment institutions, the enterprises will be given 10% of the actual equity financing amount, with a maximum of 1 million yuan in subsidies.
Implement the action of pooling artificial intelligence data resources, select the top 5 dataset construction units in terms of sales and sales volume every year, and include them in the smart Rongcheng scene laboratory to jointly carry out the development and utilization of public data resources in key areas.
Implement the AI Leading Wisdom Initiative. Focusing on the basic frontier fields and the key core technologies of the "stuck neck", relevant talents in the field of artificial intelligence are encouraged to apply for the "Rongcheng Talent Program", and the selected candidates are awarded the title of special experts of the "Rongcheng Talent Program" to provide relevant management services.
At the same time, a one-time reward of 1 million yuan will be given to individuals or teams in universities, scientific research institutions, enterprises and institutions in Chengdu who have won the Wu Wenjun Artificial Intelligence Highest Achievement Award and Special Prize; A one-time award of 200,000 yuan will be given to those who have won other awards of the Wu Wenjun Artificial Intelligence Science and Technology Award (excluding excellent doctoral dissertations).
