On October 7, 2024, Hong Kong announced the launch of a significant $3 billion Artificial Intelligence Subsidy Scheme aimed at bolstering the local AI ecosystem. The initiative is designed to support universities, research institutions, and enterprises in leveraging the capabilities of Cyberport’s AI Supercomputing Centre (AISC) to foster scientific advancements.
Under this scheme, eligible participants can receive subsidies covering up to 70% of the service list price for accessing the AISC. A government-appointed committee will oversee the review and approval of applications, determining the funding amounts, duration, and usage conditions.
The first phase of the AISC is expected to begin operations later this year, with plans to enhance its computing power to approximately 3,000 petaFLOPS, significantly expanding the research capabilities available to local innovators.
To provide further details about the scheme, a hybrid information session is scheduled for October 10. Interested parties can find more information and application details on the dedicated Cyberport website at [aisc.cyberport.hk/aiss](http://aisc.cyberport.hk/aiss). For inquiries, the Secretariat of the Subsidy Scheme is available via email at aiss_enquiry@cyberport.hk
香港推出30億人工智能補貼計劃 以促進本地生態系統
2024年10月7日，香港宣布推出一項重大的30億人工智能補貼計劃，旨在加強本地人工智能生態系統。這項措施旨在支持大學、研究機構和企業利用數碼港的人工智能超級計算中心（AISC）來促進科學進步。
根據這項計劃，合資格的參與者可獲得高達70%的補貼，以支付使用AISC的服務清單價格。政府委任的委員會將負責審核和批准申請，並決定資助金額、持續時間及使用條件。
AISC的第一階段預計將於今年晚些時候開始運作，並計劃將其計算能力提升至約3000 petaFLOPS，顯著擴展本地創新者的研究能力。
為了提供更多有關計劃的詳情，將於10月10日舉行一場混合型資訊會議。有興趣的各方可在數碼港網站 [aisc.cyberport.hk/aiss] 上找到更多信息和申請細節。如有查詢，補貼計劃秘書處可通過電子郵件 aiss_enquiry@cyberport.hk 聯繫。
