# Huairou AI for Science Founder Guide

## Purpose

Explain Huairou as a scientific-infrastructure node rather than a generic startup park.

## Audience

- AI for Science founders
- autonomous-lab teams
- scientific instrument builders

## Technology / industry topics

- Big Science
- autonomous laboratories
- scientific data
- materials
- instrumentation

## Important distinctions

- Policy existence does not establish programme eligibility.
- A maximum support amount is not an automatic payment.
- Company registration, work authorisation and residence are separate questions.
- Registration Node, Operating Node and Living Base may differ, subject to actual-operation and programme rules.

## This is not primarily a startup park

Huairou's unusual advantage is the concentration of major scientific facilities and research institutions. The valuable neighbour may be a facility, instrument or dataset rather than another startup.

## Facility access and commercialisation require explicit verification

Huairou has public measures around technology commercialisation and facility sharing, but a founder must confirm access route, IP, scheduling, project eligibility and institutional counterpart.

## Huairou and Changping are not interchangeable

Changping is oriented toward life-science industry and commercial translation; Huairou toward scientific infrastructure and original research. Some companies may need relationships in both.
