College students will directly give 50,000 yuan to start a business? The Yangtze River Delta’s "War of Snatching People" Upgrade
Recently, Taicang, a county-level city under the jurisdiction of Suzhou, issued a "zero cost" entrepreneurship support policy for college students.
According to "Several Measures on Supporting Taicang University Science Park to Create the First Choice for College Students’ Innovation and Entrepreneurship in the Yangtze River Delta", the college students’ entrepreneurship project that came to Taitai for the first time directly gave 50,000 yuan of entrepreneurship funding; Those who have settled in the winning projects of the National College Students’ Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition will be given entrepreneurship funding directly according to the first prize of 500,000 yuan, the second prize of 300,000 yuan and the third prize of 200,000 yuan.
In order to reduce the cost of college students’ entrepreneurship, the local government will also give the newly settled college students’ entrepreneurship project in Dakeyuan a three-year rent-free venue; Those who employ college graduates who have been employed for the first time in Taitai will be given a subsidy of 3,000 yuan per person after paying social security for 6 months.
On December 16th, the relevant person in charge of Taicang told CBN that they have no restrictions on the content and form of college students’ entrepreneurial projects, and any project can enjoy this policy. "As long as it is registered in Dake Park, this is the first in China". Once the registration is completed, the 50,000-yuan business start-up grant will be paid to the company account at one time.
This package of support policies for college students’ entrepreneurship is under the background that the Ministry of Education issued the Notice on Doing a Good Job in the Employment and Entrepreneurship of College Graduates in 2024 (hereinafter referred to as the Notice) on December 1. The "Notice" decided to implement the "Promotion Action for Employment and Entrepreneurship of College Graduates in 2024", continuously improve the employment and entrepreneurship service system for college graduates, and fully promote the high-quality and full employment of college graduates.
The above policy of Taicang will be implemented on January 1, 2024, with a trial period of one year, and the Talent Office of the Municipal Party Committee, High-tech Zone and relevant departments will be responsible for the interpretation.
Ceng Gang, dean of the Urban Development Research Institute of East China Normal University, told CBN that the latest policy issued by Taicang provides a new case for attracting talents from all over the country in the new era, and is generally implementing concrete actions for the integration and development of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation. "Taicang hopes that by holding ‘ Talent ’ This bull’s nose is a wise move to achieve the goal of innovation and high-quality development. From the perspective of specific fields, providing employment subsidies for talents and optimizing the ecological environment for innovation and entrepreneurship are effective and effective. "
However, Ceng Gang suggested that optimizing the investment environment and attracting foreign and local investment to promote college students’ employment should be the main and important policy direction. Considering the high risk of entrepreneurship and the lack of business experience of college students, it is debatable to take college students’ entrepreneurship as the first priority of preferential policies.
Taicang’s above-mentioned talent policy says it will increase financial support for entrepreneurship. For example, an angel investment fund of 300 million yuan was established, and the highest equity investment of 3 million yuan was given to the entrepreneurial projects of college students. We launched the "Loucheng College Students’ Entrepreneurship Loan", a government-enhanced financial product, to provide risk compensation, with a maximum loan of 1 million yuan for a single project. At the same time, increase subsidies in technology and finance, and grant loans to enterprises such as "Suke Loan" and "Louchengke Creation Loan" at the rate of 5&permil of the actual payment; Give a subsidy of up to 500,000 yuan/year; For enterprise intellectual property pledge financing, the maximum reward is 100,000 yuan according to 1% of the actual financing amount.
The goal of Taicang’s new policy is to create the first choice for college students’ innovation and entrepreneurship in the Yangtze River Delta. As the first choice for college students’ innovation and entrepreneurship in China, the war of grabbing people in the Yangtze River Delta region is becoming increasingly fierce.
In recent years, Anji County, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province, which has increased its efforts to develop new economic industries, has also introduced a package of policies with great efforts around the strategic goal of "introducing 100,000 young college students" this year.
Among them, in terms of entrepreneurship subsidies, Anji gives college students or college students who come to start a business for the first time within five years after graduation an entrepreneurship subsidy of 2,500 yuan/month, which will be enjoyed from the next month after normal operation, with a subsidy period of one year. For eligible Qingchuang projects that have settled in Qingchuang Space, a startup subsidy of 2,500 yuan/month will be given, with a subsidy period of 1 year; Those selected as Class A, B, and C youth creation projects will be given 220,000 yuan, 90,000 yuan, and 30,000 yuan respectively, which will be allocated by 50% in two phases. Support the third-party operation and management of Qingchuang Space, and give a maximum financial reward of 150,000 yuan.
In addition to entrepreneurship subsidies, talents who come to Anji for employment and entrepreneurship can also receive monthly subsidies for settling down and renting houses. Among them, 2000 yuan/month for doctoral students, 1200 yuan/month for master students and "double-first-class" university graduates, 400 yuan/month for other undergraduate graduates and 250 yuan/month for college graduates. As for the rental subsidy, the period of subsidy is 2,200 yuan/month for doctoral students, 1,500 yuan/month for master students and "double-class" university graduates, 800 yuan/month for other undergraduate graduates and 650 yuan/month for junior college graduates.
In addition to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Shanghai and Anhui have also introduced relevant measures for talent employment and entrepreneurship this year. Yao Kai, director of the Global Science and Technology Talents Development Research Center of Fudan University and chief expert of the Shanghai Talent Theory Research Base, said earlier that in the face of the complicated and changeable situation of attracting talents, a single talent development measure has been difficult to meet the needs of long-term sustainable development of talents. In addition to the attractive talent policy, it also needs to be equipped with comprehensive, systematic and operational support measures.
While the war of robbing people is escalating, the integration of talents in the Yangtze River Delta is also expected to accelerate. The 5th Yangtze River Delta G60 Science and Technology Corridor Talent Summit, which opened in Huzhou, Zhejiang Province on December 16th, focused on deeper talent integration, released the Implementation Plan of Yangtze River Delta G60 Science and Technology Corridor Talents Leading Innovation Highland Construction (2023-2025), signed a cooperation project on talent integration in nine cities of Yangtze River Delta G60 Science and Technology Corridor, and established a strategic cooperation alliance for the introduction and education of young talents in nine cities.
