Artificial Intelligence (AI) Subsidy Scheme

To promote the development of the local Artificial Intelligence (AI) ecosystem, the Government has allocated $3 billion for the launch of a three-year AI Subsidy Scheme to support local institutions, research and development (R&D) centres, government departments and enterprises, etc. in leveraging the computing power of Cyberport’s AI Supercomputing Centre (AISC) to achieve scientific breakthroughs. The subsidy will also be used to strengthen the cyber security and data protection of the AISC, and organise promotional and educational activities to attract non-local AI experts, enterprises and R&D projects to come to Hong Kong.

The Government appointed the Committee of the AI Subsidy Scheme in August 2024 to advise on the general directions, administration and mode of operation of the AI Subsidy Scheme, and vet eligible applications for the AISC computing power subsidies, including the specific amount, duration and conditions of use.

The AI Subsidy Scheme has been open for application since October 2024. Under the scheme, eligible users may generally be subsidised up to 70% of the service list price of the AISC.
