Plug and Play China Greater Bay Area unveiled its OPC (One-Person Company) Community and hosted a cross-border innovation matchmaking event on Friday at its international innovation center in Shenzhen's Luohu district.

Centered on "connecting global innovation resources and advancing 'AI+OPC' incubation," the event brought together AI entrepreneurs, leading investors, industry partners and experts from around the world. The launch marks a new stage for Luohu's AI-driven OPC ecosystem, with a stronger focus on internationalization, specialization and scalability.

As one of the city's first batch of OPC communities, the Plug and Play China Greater Bay Area center will leverage its global network to support startups in areas such as smart hardware, real-world applications and business model validation. It aims to attract AI innovation resources and foster a dynamic ecosystem where individual entrepreneurs can thrive through collaboration.

To address key challenges facing OPC startups, Luohu has introduced a package of supportive measures covering workspace, computing power, talent incentives, financial services and application scenarios — providing end-to-end support from early-stage incubation to commercialization.

Eligible OPCs can access dedicated office space for at least one year, receive subsidies of up to 1 million yuan annually for computing power, and secure up to 1 million yuan in incentives for high-level talent teams.

In parallel, Luohu is advancing technology insurance innovation. In partnership with PICC, it has launched a startup insurance designed for entrepreneurs in the software and AI sectors. The policy shifts beyond traditional asset coverage to include protection for talent and entrepreneurial risk, covering employee wages and compensation in the event of business failure, while also providing basic living support for founders.

So far, more than 80 companies have expressed interest in joining the OPC community, focusing on areas such as AI marketing and embodied intelligence, indicating a growing cluster effect in Luohu’s AI-driven entrepreneurship landscape.
