Apart from the hardware upgrade, the district will also promote the "incubation plus venture capital" pattern to provide investment and financing to start-ups. The district supports any kind of investment capital funds and will establish a risk compensation mechanism.
Any registered capital funds, angel investment capital funds, and college based entrepreneurship funds are eligible to receive risk compensation of 10 percent of the investment amount. The compensation will not exceed 500,000 yuan ($80,550) per order and two million yuan ($322,200) each year. After discovering valuable start-ups, the capital funds may receive financing subsidies to activate multi-channel financing.
The district will launch sub-projects on talents, finances, services, resources, policies, and culture. A development pattern for market-oriented operations, open start-ups, entrepreneurship services, global resources, and multiple models will be formed in 2020.
The public entrepreneurship space will include apartment buildings, communities, office areas, incubators, and accelerators. It is estimated that the space will attract 10,000 experts and cultivate 5,000 start-ups.
