On compute, it has strategically backed super‑intelligent integrated hard‑tech firms and committed long‑term capital to heterogeneous‑compute, full‑stack GPU companies to support an integrated AI4S development platform. On investment, it has built a multi‑tier AI investment matrix led by a Shanghai AI parent fund with total scale of 22.5 bln yuan for full‑stack coverage, alongside targeted vehicles such as a Shanghai large‑model fund and an embodied‑intelligence fund to anchor niche sub‑sectors, creating a gradient structure combining top‑level ecosystem guidance and deep vertical‑track cultivation. On ecosystems, it has set up a full‑chain tech commercialization service linking competition incubation, technical validation and industrial deployment, coordinating research institutes, major labs, large enterprises, universities and innovation competitions to accelerate 0→1 original innovation, 1→10 results conversion and 10→100 industrial scaling.
