Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China: Exploring innovative businesses such as "Computing Power Banks," "Computing Power Supermarkets," and other similar initiatives to support small and medium-sized enterprises in depositing idle computing resources.

BlockBeats message: On April 2, the General Office of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China released a notice on launching a special initiative to empower small and medium-sized enterprises with inclusive computing power. It mentions developing innovative computing power service models that provide fair access. Improve the small and medium-sized enterprises section on China’s computing power platform, the computing resource matching section on the China Small and Medium-sized Enterprises Service Network, and the section for national computing power internet service nodes (collectively referred to as the small and medium-sized enterprise platform sections). Promote precise matching between small and medium-sized enterprise needs and the supply of computing power resources, and roll out flexible payment models such as charging by “card time,” “compute time,” and Token-based billing. Explore innovative businesses such as “a computing power bank” and “a computing power marketplace.” Support small and medium-sized enterprises in depositing idle computing power resources, enabling flexible deposit and withdrawal through cross-regional and cross-period scheduling. Implement an AI small and medium-sized enterprise entrepreneurship support plan, encouraging relevant local departments to provide subsidies in the form of “computing power coupons,” “storage power coupons,” and “transport power coupons” to small and medium-sized enterprises that align with industrial directions via the small and medium-sized enterprise platform sections, simplifying the process for obtaining and using them.
