The city has set three tiers of rewards with respective cash prizes of 6 million yuan ($850,872), 4 million yuan, and 2 million yuan to high-tech enterprises and projects.

Senior executives and key R&D staff at Fortune 500 companies and multinational corporations which utilize more than $10 million of foreign capital in Quzhou or introduce more than 500 million yuan of fixed assets to the city are eligible for governmental incentives based on a recommendation mechanism.
