Chengdu has successfully issued its first "computing power loan" worth 1.14 million yuan, which was disbursed to an enterprise on August 13. This loan product leverages government-backed supportive policies to establish creditworthiness, using "computing vouchers" as a fiscal credit enhancement tool and basing disbursements on verified computing needs. The process is designed for swift online applications, intelligent approvals, and rapid fund release.
To address the common challenge of working capital pressure during computing procurement, the Chengdu Economic and Information Bureau collaborated with Chengdu Bank to create a dedicated unsecured credit product called the "Computing Loan." This offering provides a special approval fast-track for enterprises applying for computing vouchers, requiring no additional collateral. Individual companies can access a maximum credit line of up to 5 million yuan.
As the first city in China to implement a computing voucher policy, Chengdu is intensifying its support for the computing sector, continuously amplifying policy benefits. In April, the revised "Version 2.0 Computing Voucher" program increased the total distribution from 10 million yuan to 100 million yuan, while raising the annual subsidy cap per enterprise from 1 million yuan to 5 million yuan. Additionally, the policy's scope has been expanded to include OPC and OPC community operators, ensuring more entities with computing needs can access targeted support.
Within just two days of opening applications for the second batch of computing vouchers in 2026, enterprises had already claimed over 8 million yuan in quotas. The Chengdu Economic and Information Bureau is focusing on the pain points and challenges of artificial intelligence enterprise development, innovatively exploring a "voucher-loan" coordination mechanism. This dual approach combines policy subsidies for cost reduction with financial support for empowerment, helping companies lower innovation expenses and building momentum for high-quality industrial growth.
The innovative "Computing Voucher + Computing Loan" linkage model establishes a new "voucher-loan synergy" system, effectively amplifying the leveraging and guiding role of fiscal funds. It opens a channel connecting policy subsidies with financial services, upgrading support from "single-point subsidies" to "comprehensive empowerment." This aids artificial intelligence enterprises in deepening core technology research and accelerating real-world application deployment. Moving forward, the Chengdu Economic and Information Bureau plans to base its efforts on the practical needs of AI development, continually introduce new measures to alleviate enterprise difficulties, refine the industrial support system, and foster industry growth, striving to build Chengdu into a leading hub for artificial intelligence development nationwide.
