The Beijing Economic-Technological Development Zone (BDA / Yizhuang) Management Committee issued Jingjiguanfa [2025] No. 15, "Several Measures on Promoting Quantum Technology and Industry Development in the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Zone," on 2025-07-14, effective immediately and in force through 2027-12-31. The package spans ten support lines covering the full quantum stack (computing hardware/software, communications, sensing): up to RMB 2,000,000 one-off support for disruptive early-stage R&D projects, R&D-investment matching at 20% of an enterprise's prior-year R&D spend capped at RMB 5,000,000, 1:1 matching up to RMB 30,000,000 for enterprises undertaking state/municipal quantum research tasks, RMB 500,000 per product for new-technology/product certifications, up to RMB 100,000 per flagship application-demonstration project, up to RMB 30,000,000/year (three years max) for quantum-computing cloud platforms and compute centers, up to RMB 5,000,000/year (three years max) for operating industry-ecosystem platforms, rent subsidies up to RMB 1.5/sqm/day (max 2,000 sqm, three years), and talent, financing ("patient capital"/future-industry guidance fund), and international- cooperation support. The zone targets an internationally influential quantum industry cluster by 2027.

Mechanism
BDA (Yizhuang) is one of several Beijing district-level authorities running parallel subsidy stacks for frontier-tech verticals — compare BDA's own embodied-intelligent-robot, future-energy, and automotive-smart-manufacturing measures filed separately, plus Fengtai's AI-integration package. This tranche targets quantum technology specifically (superconducting, ion-trap, neutral-atom and photonic computing routes; quantum communication; quantum precision measurement; anti-quantum cryptography), pairing R&D cost-sharing and certification bounties with larger continuing subsidies (up to RMB 30,000,000/year for three years) for compute-platform operators — a structure aimed at seeding both the upstream research base and a commercializable cloud/compute layer. Per-measure caps are individually modest to moderate (RMB 100,000-5,000,000 for most lines), which keeps severity at the low end of the subsidy scale despite the breadth of the package; the multi-year continuing awards for platform operators are the largest single commitment disclosed.
Downstream implications
- Adds to the BDA/Beijing district industrial-policy cluster tracked under
china-strategic-emerging-industries; BDA has now filed parallel subsidy stacks for robotics, future energy, automotive manufacturing, industrial finance, and now quantum technology within roughly five months.
- Watch for a follow-on region-wide (Beijing municipal, not just BDA)
quantum-industry measure, mirroring the pattern seen with BDA's robotics package preceding a citywide equivalent.
Open questions
- No cross-border trade-remedy or export-control angle identified yet; this
is a purely domestic demand/supply-side subsidy program with no explicit foreign-firm exclusion language in the published measures.
