The first provincial-level policy in the country to support "single-member companies" has arrived.
On March 16, the official website of the Guangdong Provincial Development and Reform Commission released the "Action Plan for Supporting the Innovative Development of Artificial Intelligence OPC in Guangdong Province (2026 - 2028)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Action Plan"), strongly supporting the development and growth of artificial intelligence OPC enterprises, promoting the mutual promotion and progress of investment in things and investment in people, and creating an ecological system suitable for the innovative development of artificial intelligence OPC in various aspects such as industrial cultivation, ecological services, talent support, and element guarantee.
Guangdong proposes that by 2026, 10 artificial intelligence OPC ecological communities with leading effects will be cultivated in advance, and a number of high - quality enterprises with an annual operating income of over ten million will be formed. By 2028, one hundred artificial intelligence OPC ecological communities will be built, one thousand benchmark artificial intelligence OPC enterprises will be cultivated, and ten thousand innovative and entrepreneurial talents in the field of artificial intelligence OPC will be gathered, making Guangdong a leading high - ground for the development of artificial intelligence OPC in the country.
OPC is the abbreviation of One Person Company, that is, a "one - person company". With the support of AI collaboration, today's OPC has gone beyond the traditional scope, meaning that individuals can independently complete the entire closed - loop process from product design and R & D to market launch with the help of intelligent technology. Some viewpoints point out that against the background of the significant reduction of the R & D threshold by artificial intelligence, individual entrepreneurship is gradually becoming an important supplementary force in the scientific and technological innovation system.
However, it should also be noted that the current development of artificial intelligence OPC still faces bottlenecks such as insufficient supply of inclusive computing power, difficulty in obtaining high - quality data, poor adaptability of entrepreneurial space, and difficulty in credit financing. Based on the geographical advantages of the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area and the foundation of digital economy development, Guangdong has introduced this plan. The purpose is to solve pain - point problems through systematic policy supply, provide all - round guarantee for the development of artificial intelligence OPC, and seize the opportunity in the intelligent economy track.
Some industry insiders estimate that 10 OPCs may consume about 1P of computing power in a year. Calculated at the market price, the annual usage cost exceeds 200,000 yuan. The "Action Plan" proposes to strengthen the supply of intelligent computing power. Build a "network" of green and collaborative computing power, construct a national hub node in the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area, and help artificial intelligence OPC obtain inclusive computing power resources for cross - regional elastic scheduling. The province and cities will cooperate to improve the "computing power voucher" system and reduce the actual computing power expenditure cost of artificial intelligence OPC.
It is worth mentioning that this is also the first provincial - level special policy in the country to support the innovative development of artificial intelligence OPC. Previously, in this round of OPC competition, more municipal and district - level governments have played the role of "experimental fields" for policy innovation. Taking Guangdong as an example, Xiangzhou in Zhuhai plans to cultivate more than 500 OPC enterprises in three years; Longgang in Shenzhen has become popular across the Internet because it plans to introduce the "Ten Measures for Supporting the Development of Open Claw & OPC". As experts said, pilot projects in a small scope can accumulate experience for the implementation of policies in a larger scope.
Currently, Guangdong is introducing policies at the provincial level to build a multi - level linkage support system of "province - city - community", clarify the responsibilities of each level of the main body, ensure that the policy dividends are accurately delivered to entrepreneurial entities, and improve the actual effect of policy implementation. Taking the construction of spatial carriers as an example, Guangdong proposes to promote the agglomeration and professional layout of artificial intelligence OPC communities, conduct the identification and evaluation of provincial - level artificial intelligence OPC ecological communities, and encourage qualified cities to provide policy and financial support to artificial intelligence OPC ecological communities with strong service capabilities and high industrial agglomeration.
In the era of AI entrepreneurship, the system itself is becoming a new type of infrastructure. As a general consensus in the industry, the cultivation of OPC should not stop at the initial "subsidy", but requires a sustainable ecosystem. Currently, more and more governments are actively removing data barriers and strengthening safety bottom - lines as enablers to clear institutional obstacles for AI entrepreneurship.
