First locate this round of notifications
Dalian High-tech Zone Science and Technology Innovation Bureau and Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Venture Capital Service Center issued the first batch of AI resource support application notices this year on October 12. The original acceptance period is from October 15 to 25, 2026. As of ChinaOPC's verification on October 18, the acceptance period has not yet ended; whether to make additional arrangements in the future, you need to continue to check official information.
This article only provides ChinaOPC’s original reading and material verification methods. For complete qualifications, support ratio and upper limit, all materials, recommendation review and redemption arrangements, please directly refer to the official notice and attachments in the source, and the original text will not be changed. ChinaOPC does not determine the company’s eligibility or calculate the subsidy it deserves.
The scope of platform services is not equal to local application qualifications
ChinaOPC focuses on companies and teams with 10 or less people and where AI is involved in core operations. Specific subsidies also include independent entities, establishment time, community inclusion, personnel and equity, AI use and other conditions. It cannot be determined that you can apply just by meeting the number of people. When reading the original text, you should confirm it item by item, and consult the receiving party for matters you cannot determine.
In particular, it is necessary to distinguish between the community's warehouse and the company's own materials: working in a certain space does not automatically prove that the space has obtained the qualifications required by this time; companies cannot skip verification just because the community name contains OPC. You can confirm the corresponding name from the notification attachment and community description, and then keep the basis for verification.
Do not combine the three times into one interval
This round of notices respectively stipulates the application time, subsidy payment cycle and invoice issuance time conditions. The payment period refers to June to September 2026. New consumption in October cannot be included in the calculation just because the declaration is until October 25. This paragraph is a reminder to read and does not change the specific requirements of the original notice regarding dates and fee vouchers.
When organizing, you can first record the actual usage month for each service, and then correspond to the contract, bill, payment and invoicing information. In the case of cross-month settlement or recharge first and then use, the original voucher and questions are left. Please explain how to determine the recharge. You cannot regard the entire recharge balance as consumed during the period.
Let contracts, fees and usage records correspond to each other
- Subject: To whom the contract, payment, invoice and service account belong respectively.
- Project: What are the specific services purchased, their uses and measurement methods.
- Period: Which dates are covered by billing, payment and usage records.
- Basis: Whether the originals of usage details and supplier-related materials can be found.
These are internal organization suggestions and are not intended to replace the official declaration list. When there are inconsistencies between materials, the real reasons should be explained and handled as required; no correspondence should be created by renaming, splitting, or making up logs. Fees paid from personal trial accounts cannot be written directly as corporate purchases without verification.
Both submission and subsequent corrections will leave traces.
Follow the original notice entrance and save the submitted version, receipt and subsequent supplementary records. When it comes to community recommendation or review by the competent authority, the actual notification will be used as the basis, and successful platform submission cannot be regarded as approval. Whether the same matter can be repeatedly enjoyed other supports should also be checked according to the original provisions, and no self-superimposed estimates should be made.
For teams that have not yet incurred qualifying spend, it is inappropriate to temporarily purchase unneeded resources for the catch-up window. You can first complete the true cost and usage records, and then determine whether it is suitable for declaration according to the current rules in the future. This article does not promise the success of the application, the arrival time or any fixed subsidy amount.
