German Center to be Established in Qingdao
The Eighth German Center will be established in Qingdao, a coastal city of Shandong province, according to a strategic alliance agreement signed in the provincial capital city Jinan on May 25, 2012.
The agreement was signed between Qingdao municipal government and the German Center Shanghai, one of the projects since 1995 by the German government aimed at providing a springboard for small and medium-sized German companies to venture into international markets.
As the third one of its kind in China after Beijing and Shanghai, the German Center Qingdao will incorporate the city and the wider region into the worldwide German Center Network.
According to the agreement, the center will be located in the Sino-Germany eco-park in Qingdao Economic Technological Development Zone and encompass a total building area of 66,300 square meters.
Once in full operation, the German Center Qingdao will offer German enterprises small to large office leases, consultancy services, conference facilities, a business center, a startup company incubator and a bridge between German enterprises and local communities.
