Hangzhou 115 Overseas Intelligence Introduction Program

The Hangzhou 115 Overseas Intelligence Introduction Program sits under the Hangzhou Municipal Human Resources and Social Security Bureau and its foreign experts function, and it is built to bring overseas talent into Hangzhou enterprises and institutions for short-to-medium-term consulting and technology-assistance projects. It is a municipal subsidy route, not an individual recognition scheme, and it is aimed at host entities that can show a concrete need for overseas expertise tied to local industrial priorities. The program uses two funding tracks. The high-end annual salary subsidy track supports senior overseas experts hired on salary, while the key subsidy track supports priority projects through lump-sum awards. The extracted award range runs from CNY 100,000 to CNY 1,000,000, and the program operates on a rolling basis. Eligible hosts are Hangzhou-registered enterprises and institutions, while the expert must have verified qualifications and the work must be aligned with the city’s industrial focus. Applications are handled by the host entity, and the documentation is in Chinese. The strongest applications pair a clear business or institutional need with a well-defined role for an overseas expert whose contribution is time-bound and practical. The program is useful for employers that need specialist knowledge for a project, a technical review, or a short engagement that can be linked to Hangzhou’s development agenda. It complements talent-classification support, but it is designed around project delivery and employer sponsorship rather than a personal award to the expert.
