As Shandong's manufacturing industry shifts from OEM to independent overseas expansion, trade in services has become a crucial pillar of support. Enterprises like Big Trade Data and Sunther have tackled the difficulties of going global with big data and standard compliance services, driving the rapid growth of knowledge-intensive trade in services. Following Qingdao's designation as a national demonstration zone for the innovative development of trade in services, Shandong is accelerating the establishment of a one-stop overseas service platform and promoting breakthroughs in high-value-added fields, such as industrial software and digital services. Leveraging trade in services to empower the manufacturing sector, the province aims to build a full-chain overseas expansion ecosystem to help Shandong-based enterprises steadily explore the global market.
