In 2024, Qingdao has continuously strengthened its top-level design, focusing on addressing the challenges of having a strong port but weak shipping, and insufficient coordinated development between the port, industry, and city. The city is accelerating its transformation and upgrade from a logistics port to a hub port, trade port, financial port, and service port.

Qingdao has laid out a clear “4+2+4” marine industry framework, aiming to cultivate and expand four emerging industries (marine equipment, marine pharmaceuticals and biological products, seawater desalination and comprehensive utilization, and marine new energy). It also seeks to rapidly develop two future industries (deep-sea exploration and marine electronic information) while transforming and enhancing four advantageous industries (modern fisheries, port shipping, marine tourism, and marine chemicals). The city has introduced policy documents such as the Long-Term Vision for Marine Development by 2035 in Qingdao and the Action Plan for Leading the Development of a Modern Marine Industry System with Technological Innovation and Cultivating New Quality Productive Forces in Marine Economy (2025–2027) to provide significant support for building a modern marine industry system and turning it into a hub for the development of modern marine economy.
