First find the official documents and supporting guides
"Several Measures of Haidian District on Comprehensively Building an OPC Entrepreneurial Ecosystem" issued by the Zhongguancun Science City Management Committee, document number Zhongkechengfa [2026] No. 39, the page indicates that it will be announced and implemented on April 8, 2026; there will be application guidelines on May 20. Two official original texts are provided through the source links below. This article is an independent introduction to ChinaOPC.
Number of people is only part of the condition
The guidelines also cover requirements such as subject qualifications, personnel structure, and use of AI technology. For example, the entity must operate legally in Haidian District and have independent legal personality; after equity penetration, the total shareholding ratio of a single founder exceeds 50%; the total number of employees should not exceed 10 in principle; AI should substantially participate in the core business. The guidelines also set forth requirements for the average monthly level of related software and hardware procurement costs in the past 12 months. These are just reading highlights and cannot replace checking of all conditions and supporting materials.
This guide corresponds to historical batches
The application time listed in the verified guide is from May to June 2026, which is already earlier than the date of this data verification. Its restrictions on the company registration time are also based on the release date of the guide, which lists the range from May 21, 2023 to May 20, 2026, and cannot be changed to the "near three years" that moves with the reading date. A new window that can replace this batch has not been approved this time. If you are ready to handle it, you should continue to check the latest official notice or confirm with the accepting unit.
Distinguish between enterprise, talent and community support
The same policy may be aimed at entrepreneurial enterprises, young talents and community operating entities at the same time. Readers can create a checklist of "supported objects - corresponding terms - supporting materials - processing time". The upper limit, validity period and application method for different objects cannot be applied to each other; web summary and community introduction do not replace the formal conditions.
The original text of the policy also indicates the validity period. Specific changes in effectiveness, renewal and current implementation arrangements should be subject to the information of the issuing authority. ChinaOPC provides a portal for information reading and does not handle approvals on its behalf, nor does it make any commitment to approval or the arrival of funds.
