Where mountains meet the sea, great events unfold. From June 18 to 20, 2025, the Sixth Qingdao Multinationals Summit kicks off, once again drawing the global business community's focus to this vibrant coastal city. Over the past five years, this international event has accumulated 592 signed projects with a total investment of 69.8 billion US dollars, becoming the best testimony to multinational companies “voting with their feet.“ Now, Qingdao is extending a warm invitation to the world with a more open mind and an innovative posture, to “cross“ mountains and seas and “gather“ for the future.

Five Citycards “Winning Hearts“, Multinational Corporations Showing Strong Favor

At the last summit，Qingdao “stood out“ with five business cards — the city of openness，industry，innovation，ocean and quality. National strategies such as the pilot free trade zone and the SCO demonstration zone have added “buffs“ to the city. Industrial clusters such as intelligent home appliances and rail transit equipment have shown strong performance. Multinational giants such as AstraZeneca and Hexagon have set up their baseson this fertile land of industry.

Superb Service Delivered, “Qingdao Speed“ Refreshed

From the “Foreign-Invested Enterprises Roundtable“ that precisely addresses pain points such as payment and visa issues, to the AstraZeneca project setting a record of “signed, land acquired and construction started within the same year,“ Qingdao has redefined “Qingdao - style“ dedicated service through its “tailor - made“ approach. The continuous enhancement of policies, including 24 new investment - attraction measures and facilitation of cross - border investment and financing, has solidified Qingdao's position as the “gold - medal city“ for investment environment according to the World Bank.

Seizing the “Peak“ Opportunity to Share the Dividends of Openness

With the implementation of the national comprehensive pilot program for expanding the opening - up of the service industry, Qingdao is aligning with international rules to higher standards. This summit will focus on cutting - edge fields such as green and low - carbon development and digital economy, creating a “high - end“ platform for project matching and policy interpretation. Qingdao is not only the “drawing - room“ for multinational companies but also the “starting - line“ for a win - win future.

As the tide of the Yellow Sea surges and a thousand sails compete, when global business elites gather in Qingdao once again, this youthful island will use the mountains and sea as a backdrop and innovation as a pen to jointly write a new chapter of “mutual pursuit“ with multinational companies. Witness! Like ocean waves, Qingdao's spirit of opening-up surges within the global “summit tide“!
