The country's first incubation and cultivation innovation fund in the AI field has been launched

The 2025 XAI Technology Festival Industry Investment Themed Forum was recently held at the Zhongguancun Academy and the Zhongguancun Artificial Intelligence Research Institute in Beijing. As the first AI field incubation and cultivation innovation fund in the country, the Zhongguancun AI Innovation Fund has officially launched with an initial scale of 100 million yuan. It is reported that the Zhongguancun AI Innovation Fund is jointly initiated by the Zhongguancun Academy and the Shanghai Dajun Asset Management Center. The fund adheres to the strategy of "invest early, invest small, invest well, invest in AI," and enhances efficiency and speed through the innovative model of "using AI to invest in AI, using AI to incubate AI." It relies on the AI Beiwai community incubation platform to establish a "front store and back factory" mechanism. In addition to providing the fund, it will also offer full-cycle post-investment services for projects, including "scientists, research centers, computing power, data, and industrial resources."
