It has attracted 40 key enterprises with a total investment of 179.3 billion yuan ($24.76 million), marking early success in the development of the integrated circuit industry. In 2023, the park ranked 14th in the "Top 30 Integrated Circuit Parks in China".
The Qingdao FTZ will focus on national strategic development, aiming to establish itself as a major hub for integrated circuit industry aggregation in China. Through the Integrated Circuit Industry Park, Qingdao will quickly add industry value chain projects, ramp up industry ecosystems, and drive the high-quality growth of the integrated circuit industry.
