Shandong's Jining: Leveraging Industrial Parks to Build New Competitive Advantages

Jining, Shandong, is at a critical juncture, entering the early stage of the 15th Five-Year Plan and a pivotal period in its efforts to become a leading city in new industrialization. As the primary driver, main platform, and key engine of economic development, the performance of industrial parks will directly determine whether Jining can gain an edge in regional competition and successfully drive its GDP past the one-trillion-yuan threshold. The city has established a high-level task force dedicated to industrial park development and issued guidelines for promoting their high-quality growth. Through a "1+15+N" industrial park development framework, Jining is systematically reshaping its industrial parks across the city, with their overall capacity and positioning continuing to rise. Driven by the development of its industrial parks, the city's value-added industrial output above the designated size grew 8.7% year on year in the first half of the year.

Jining is using big industrial parks to accommodate big industries, big platforms to attract big projects, and a big business environment to support big enterprises—all to strengthen its industrial advantages and gain the initiative in development. The "big" in this approach refers not only to the scale of individual industrial parks, but also to the bigger picture of planning and designing the city's industrial development as a whole, with the entire city working from a unified blueprint. The local government has clearly defined the leading industries for each industrial park through scientific planning. By implementing a profit-sharing mechanism, it guides industrial projects into specialized parks, promotes differentiated and coordinated development among the parks, and breaks away from the previous pattern characterized by "isolated development and homogeneous competition."
