The office of the Guangdong Provincial Science and Technology Commission issued a Brain–Computer Interface Science and Industry Coordinated Development Action Plan for 2026–2030, backing Guangzhou to build a BCI industry cluster with global influence. The plan targets a full 'technology–clinical–manufacturing–application' ecosystem, designing Haizhu and Tianhe as the dual-core, multi-park Guangzhou Brain Valley pilot area and urging districts to adopt supporting policies to attract specialist institutions and companies. It directs leveraging concentrated universities, research institutes, high-end talent teams and top clinical hospitals to strengthen industry–university–research–medical–finance coordination, priorities non-invasive BCI system R&D, promotes research-to-clinic incubation, medical demonstrations and ethical-standard setting, and seeks consumer applications and international innovation cooperation to cover the full chain from original innovation to industrial application.
