Shandong unlocks new opportunities
China DailyThis year marks the first year of the 14th Five-Year Plan period. The ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin, the China Pilot Free Trade Zone, as well as other national strategies and platforms have increased Shandong's appeal to multinational companies. More than 200 companies have settled in the Shandong Yellow River Digital Economy Industrial Park in Jinan, the provincial capital, including the northern regional headquarters of JD Cloud&AI and Shandong Trusted Cloud Information Technology Research Institute. The new generation of information technology industry, represented by digital economy, is one of the "top 10 industries" that are key to the development of Shandong's new growth drivers. In addition to the construction of the start-up area, Jinan has also planned the country's first water-saving oriented national new area, the lower Yellow River green ecological corridor, and the Yellow River National Park.
