Hangzhou High-Level Talent Classification & Subsidy Scheme

Hangzhou High-Level Talent Classification and Subsidy Scheme is the citywide tiering framework run by the Hangzhou Municipal Human Resources and Social Security Bureau. It classifies talent from A through E and unlocks housing, medical, education, and entrepreneurship support for people based in Hangzhou. The published housing support runs from CNY 200,000 for E-class talent up to CNY 2,000,000 for B-class talent, with C-class at CNY 1,500,000 and D-class at CNY 1,000,000. The scheme also includes medical benefits for higher tiers, and the broader framework can support entrepreneurship startup funding. For especially strong overseas projects, sources cite an exceptional upper figure of CNY 100,000,000, but that is not a standard award. The scheme works best for people who already have documented credentials and a Hangzhou employer willing to endorse the application. In practice it operates as the umbrella under which district-level talent measures sit, so it matters as a recognition gateway as much as a funding route.

Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
