Most of the world's top 500 enterprises settled in Qingdao are leading enterprises in our city, which directly promoted the development of their downstream supporting industries and formed industrial clusters, creating favorable conditions for accelerating the development of "big projects-industrial chains-industrial clusters-industrial bases" in Qingdao.
It is understood that 89 enterprises established by Fortune 500 companies in Qingdao involve more than 20 industries such as electronic and communication equipment manufacturing, textile and clothing, electrical machinery and equipment, machinery, transportation equipment, chemical industry, steel, metallurgy, warehousing, metal products, food and beverage processing, catering, retail and social services. All those who put into production and started businesses have formed their own economic industrial clusters, with good benefits. According to the statistics of relevant municipal departments, among the world's top 500 enterprises put into production in Qingdao in the first half of last year, 77 enterprises realized a profit of11.90 billion yuan, accounting for 5 1.5% of the total profits of foreign-invested enterprises in the city.
The transfer of a large international enterprise is often accompanied by the transfer and reorganization of dozens or even hundreds of supporting enterprises, thus forming a complete industrial chain. As a result, Qingdao not only has a large amount of capital flow, logistics and people inflow, which makes its industrial clusters continuously elongated and developed in depth, but also industries such as finance, insurance and logistics, scientific research and education are also booming.
At present, the influence of the world's top 500 enterprises on the development of Qingdao industrial cluster is mainly reflected in petrochemical, steel, metallurgy and other industries. Lidong Chemical invested by South Korea's LG Company has become a leading enterprise in the petrochemical industry in this city. In addition to many downstream petrochemical enterprises at home and abroad, dozens of famous chemical enterprises from the United States, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan Province Province and other countries and regions also plan to settle in this city. This has played an important role in accelerating the cultivation of petrochemical industrial clusters and building petrochemical industrial bases in Qingdao, and has a far-reaching impact.
Relevant persons of Qingdao Municipal Government said that the entry of Fortune 500 enterprises into Qingdao not only had the above functions and influences, but also directly promoted the reconstruction of local enterprises in Qingdao, especially large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises. The success of a group of outstanding enterprises in Qingdao, represented by Haier and Hisense, has a certain causal relationship with the world's top 500 enterprises such as Sanyo and Hitachi. In addition, Fortune 500 enterprises have also played an active role in stimulating employment and adjusting and improving Qingdao's industrial structure.
