The first national AI incubation and nurturing innovation fund has been released.

The 2025 XAI Technology Festival Industry Investment Theme Forum was recently held at Beijing Zhongguancun College in conjunction with the Zhongguancun Artificial Intelligence Research Institute. As the country's first AI incubation and cultivation type innovation fund, the Zhongguancun Two Academies AI Science and Technology Innovation Fund has been officially launched, with an initial fund size of one billion yuan. It is reported that the Zhongguancun Two Academies AI Science and Technology Innovation Fund was jointly initiated by the Zhongguancun Two Academies and the Shanghai Dajun Asset Management Center. The fund adheres to the strategy of "investing early, investing small, investing well, investing in AI", and through the innovative model of "investing in AI with AI, incubating AI with AI", it enhances efficiency and speed. Leveraging the AI Beidou Community Incubation Platform, a "front store, back factory" mechanism has been established. In addition to providing funding, the fund will also provide full-cycle post-investment services such as "scientists, research centers, computing power, data, and industry resources" for projects.
