China’s Industry Ministry Backs AI Deployment With Token Procurement and Compute Vouchers

China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has launched a special program to cultivate artificial intelligence application service providers, with a policy package aimed at pushing AI projects into real business use. The ministry is encouraging local authorities to expand procurement of large models, AI agents, and token-based services through measures such as first-purchase and first-use support and risk compensation. It also said local governments can use tools including compute vouchers to lower computing costs. The plan includes building a nationwide resource pool of AI application service providers. Official targets call for the number of such providers to exceed 2,000 by the end of 2026 and reach no fewer than 3,000 by the end of 2027. These firms are described as companies that help enterprises deliver AI projects across the full process, from early consulting and solution design to system development, integration, delivery, later maintenance, and security governance. The policy also specifically mentioned FDEs, or field deployment engineers. The ministry is encouraging service providers to form FDE teams that work on-site at client locations to address practical issues during implementation. Local authorities are also asked to open real business scenarios, organize supply-demand matching, and turn high-frequency, rigid-demand tasks into standardized AI products that can be delivered repeatedly.
