On October 23, Qingdao held a press conference to interpret the recently issued Supporting Policies for Investment Attraction through Businesses and Socialization in Qingdao. As per the document, Qingdao will highlight and maximize the role of "chain owner" enterprises and businesses in investment attraction, strengthen "information support," and promote investment attraction with a financial support amount of 20 million yuan maximum.

Specifically, the qualified recipients include "chain owner" enterprises and enterprises above the designated size that have introduced investment projects in line with Qingdao's industrial development direction and supporting industrial chain projects. In terms of support for project introduction, those who have played a significant role in introducing and implementing new investment projects in line with the direction of Qingdao's 24 key industrial chains, and with a fixed-asset investment scale of at least 100 million yuan will be entitled to financial support that is equivalent to 0.6% of their fixed-asset investment amount. In terms of support for project information, Qingdao will provide project information support for those who have played a positive role in offering information on newly introduced investment projects in line with the direction of Qingdao's 24 key industrial chains after the projects are implemented.
