Guangzhou Haizhu District Calls for First Batch of AI Application Scenarios, Including Education

The Haizhu District AI Scenario Working Group Office in Guangzhou issued a notice on September 11, 2026, calling for the first batch of AI application scenarios in the district, with applications due by September 30, 2026. Applicants are enterprises or institutions acting as demand-side or technology-side parties, with project sites in Haizhu District and no restriction on registration location, covering transportation, emergency response, healthcare and education. The AI plus education category includes smart teaching, personalized and adaptive learning, intelligent assessment, academic diagnosis and learning path planning, virtual simulation experiments, smart education management, teacher professional development, special education support and mental health monitoring. Selected scenarios can apply for rewards under the district's large model application rules and receive order recommendations and matchmaking on the district AI scenario trading platform.

This is a local effort to advance AI adoption through a scenario list plus order matchmaking, with education among four priority fields. It shifts regional education AI procurement from scattered projects toward a platform-based, application-driven channel, directly affecting how education AI products reach schools and institutions. Two direct effects: education AI companies can apply for policy rewards and order recommendations; schools and education institutions can apply as demand-side parties to connect with technology providers on the same platform. A limitation is that the notice does not disclose the number of selected scenarios, review criteria or funding amounts, so actual scale depends on later evaluation results. Education AI companies can use this channel to apply for scenarios, seek district-level large model application rewards and platform order recommendations, lowering the barrier to entering the regional education market. Schools and education institutions in Haizhu District can apply as demand-side parties, connecting needs such as smart teaching and intelligent assessment with technology providers to advance local education scenarios.
