Qingdao Marine Strategy has entered the 3.0 stage, which has determined the new goals of "six tough battles" in marine industry, marine technology, marine opening, marine ports, marine ecology, and marine culture. It also places more emphasis on goal orientation, project support and characteristic development.

Focusing on the task of the new phase on the marine strategy and aiming at the goal of building a global ocean central city, Qingdao handed in a "progressing" answer sheet in the first half of the year. According to preliminary calculations, in the first half of the year, the city's marine production value increased by 21.9% year-on-year, and the city's maritime fixed asset investment increased by 15.1% year-on-year.

On"Project Completion Year", the introduction and completion of ocean-related projects achieved a "double harvest"

This year, Qingdao has made it clear that the creation of a global ocean center city is the overall goal of Qingdao's marine development in the "14th Five-Year Plan" and even the next 10 to 15 years. It is required to carry out" Project Completion Year", and marine industry cluster, "Double Promotion" and project completion are used as "acupoints" and targets to accelerate the high-quality development of the marine economy.

Qingdao Municipal Ocean Development Bureau issued and implemented Qingdao 2021 Work Plan for Investment Promotion in the Marine Field to accelerate the introduction of a number of large and good projects with high technology and strong driving capabilities. At the same time, it has established a regular notification and promotion mechanism for marine industry projects, formulated Management Measures for the Promotion of Services for Key Marine Projects in Qingdao, and established a weekly scheduling, monthly ranking, and quarterly interview system to ensure that the project is put into operation as soon as possible.

Through continuous improvement of financial support, rapid approval and other service levels, many projects in Qingdao's marine biomedicine, marine engineering equipment, seawater desalination, marine fishery and other fields have solved urgent needs and achieved early landing or production. Up to now, Qingdao has sorted out 110 key ocean-related projects with a total investment of more than 360 billion yuan, of which 19.39 billion yuan has been invested in the first half of this year, accounting for 51.4% of the annual planned investment. Thanks to the continuous introduction and implementation of ocean-related projects, Qingdao's gross marine production in the first half of this year increased by 21.9% year-on-year, and investment in ocean-related fixed assets increased by 15.1% year-on-year.

Create comparative advantages, strengthen top-level design and innovating the construction of source platforms

In April this year, Qingdao issued and implemented Operational Plan for the Strategic Ocean 2021 (Version 3.0). Compared with the 2.0 version of Marine Strategy, an important highlight of version 3.0 is to highlight Qingdao's characteristics and create comparative advantages.

In addition to strengthening the top-level design, Qingdao is also focusing on improving the source of marine science and technology and speeding up the construction of the marine science city. In addition to giving support to selecting a cohort of technogical innovation and promising projects in the field of marine equipment and marine energy focused on the development needs of the marine industry, it is also necessary to promote the construction of a top-level marine technology innovation platform.

In the first half of this year, Qingdao's marine platform construction achieved remarkable results. A few days ago, the Marine Science Research Center, which was planned for more than three years and gathered the scientific research forces of 13 institutes of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, was completed. With the sail of this marine science and technology "aircraft carrier", Qingdao has become an important fulcrum for China to promote the high-quality development of the marine field. Recently, Ministry of Natural Resources announced the construction of 42 key laboratories nationwide, Qingdao added three ministerial-level key laboratories for coastal zone science and comprehensive management, Bohai Ecological Protection and Restoration Key Laboratory, and Coastal City Underground Space Geological Security. Up to now, Qingdao has 37 marine key laboratories and engineering (technical) research centers above the ministerial level, and continues to lead the country, providing a more solid foundation and technological support for Qingdao's marine scientific and technological innovation and the creation of a global marine center city.
