Online declaration time for enterprises: May 6 to June 6, 17:00

Online review and recommendation deadline by the town/street science and technology competent department: June 10, 17:00

Maximum funding amount per project : In principle, capped at 5 million CNY

Application Conditions

Enterprises registered within the administrative jurisdiction of Zhongshan City, possessing independent legal person status, with sound financial management institutions and systems, good asset and operating conditions, aligned with national, provincial, and municipal industry development directions, demonstrating strong technological innovation capabilities, and truthfully reporting relevant technology statistics to statistical and technology departments.

This batch of projects adopts a pre-grant support model. The funding amount for each project shall, in principle, not exceed 5 million CNY , and the ratio of self-raised funds to fiscal grants must be at least 2:1. Zhongshan City encourages technology venture capital institutions to make equity investments in these projects. Regarding fiscal fund allocation, the lead unit shall, in principle, receive the largest share; if a participating unit is from outside Zhongshan City, it shall not receive any fiscal funding. Major science and technology special projects in Zhongshan City (including the strategic emerging industries technology breakthrough theme) fall under the pre-grant category. Enterprises may apply for only one project per calendar year, and multiple applications for the same project are prohibited.
