Jinan, Qingdao and Yantai are the cores and main engines of Shandong comprehensive pilot zone of growth driver transition. The 104.3-square-kilometer industrial net land consists of 37 square kilometers in Jinan, 37.3 square kilometers in Qingdao and 30 square kilometers in Yantai, which can meet the need for the settlement and construction of different-scale projects. The first batch of land will be launched this year to ensure the settlement of eligible enterprises and projects.

Jinan-Qingdao-Yantai International Investment Industrial Park is to exert great efforts to foster the cluster of nine industries with the focus on five cutting-edge industries including the new-generation information technology, high-end equipment, new energy and new material, medical and health care, and energy saving and environmental protection.

In five years, the cluster of nine industries is expected to gather more than 200 world top 500 enterprises and projects, the total scale of the cluster approaching 1 trillion yuan.

The construction of the park will soon be comprehensively started, according to Zhou Lianhua, director of the development and reform department of Shandong province.
