On this basis, those in the field of S&T innovation will be granted RMB 20 million, 10 million and 5 million accordingly; those in the field of urban economy will be granted RMB 5 million, 3 million and 1 million accordingly.

The subsidies will be appropriated in two installments (50% for each installment). Specifically, as of the selected enterprise’s business registration in Ningbo, the phase-I appropriation will be granted on the condition of accumulating a direct expenditure*  that doubles the amount of the subsidy; when the amount is four times that of the subsidy, the phase-II appropriation will be granted. If the accumulative direct expenditure is already four times that of the subsidy as of the application for the phase-I appropriation, the subsidy may be appropriated in lump sum.

(*Direct expenditure: expenses by the corresponding enterprise in Ningbo on the applying project)

For those high-level and influential talents/teams with world-leading core technology, revolutionary innovative achievements, bright industrial prospects and strong market competitiveness, there will be no cap on the funding amount.

Once selected, eligible talents/teams can access other supportive policies stated in the Rules for the Implementation of Ningbo Yongjiang Talent Programme, as well as funding policies issued by their district/county (county-level city) of settlement. The subsidies will be granted as per the highest eligible amount with no repetitive appropriation.
