Recently, an open-source intelligent agent project called OpenClaw, with an icon resembling a red lobster, has become popular in the AI circle, sparking a "raising lobsters" trend. In line with this technological trend, Longgang District of Shenzhen officially released the "Several Measures for Supporting the Development of OpenClaw & OPC (Draft for Comments)" on March 7, 2026 (referred to as the "Lobster Ten Measures"), aiming to attract global developers and OPC (One Person Company) entrepreneurs by offering a "zero-cost start-up" policy.

Key Highlights: Comprehensive Services for the Entire Life Cycle

To meet the demand for intelligent agents evolving from "being able to see and speak" to "practical ones," Longgang District has introduced a series of precise support measures:

  • Infrastructure and Hardware Support: The platform will set up a "Lobster Service Area" to provide free OpenClaw deployment services for developers. For hardware needs, purchasing plug-and-play "Lobster Boxes" (AI NAS) can get a 30% discount on market price.

  • Data Element Opening: High-quality de-identified public data from low-altitude economy, smart transportation, and healthcare will be opened. Companies that purchase data governance or annotation services for project development can enjoy a 50% fee subsidy.

  • Funding Incentives and Technology R&D: Enterprises contributing key code to international communities or developing industry-specific skill packages can receive up to 2 million yuan in subsidies. Additionally, the "Digital Employee Application Coupon" program offers up to 2 million yuan in funding based on 40% of the investment.

Tailored Solutions: Empowering "Super Individuals"

To adapt to the "one-person company" model emerging in the AI era, the policy significantly lowers the operational threshold:

  • Computing Power and Model Benefits: New OPC community enterprises can get 3 months of free computing power. Using domestic top large models for production can get a 30% subsidy of actual costs (up to 10 million yuan annually).

  • Startup Environment Protection: Provide a growth environment starting from "a single desk," including up to 2 months of free accommodation and 18 months of office space discounts, with talent settlement subsidies up to 100,000 yuan.

  • Application Scenario Implementation: Annually select demonstration scenarios with industry leadership, with support up to 4 million yuan per project.

Building a "Tropical Rainforest" Ecosystem

Longgang District plans to create an open and vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem through annual person awards (including rewards and medical and children's education services) and up to 4 million yuan in community operation support. It is reported that these measures are planned to take effect starting in 2026, with a validity period of three years.
