China-SCO Local Economic and Trade Cooperation Demonstration Area (Jiaozhou Economic Development Zone)

Located on the north coast of the Jiaozhou Bay, Qingdao Jiaodong International Airport, a 4F airport, runs flights to 50 plus major cities in the world. It enjoys a great geographical location with links eastwards and westwards, across land and over sea. SCO Multimodal Transportation Center operates 22 domestic and international freight train routes, reaching 46 cities in 18 SCO and Belt and Road countries. According to the mechanism of "regional synergy around one core area", SCODA is building an international logistics center, a modern trade center, a two-way investment cooperation center, a business, tourism and culture development center, with a view to creating a gateway to the Asian Pacific market for SCO countries and a demonstration area of exchanges and cooperation with relevant cities in SCO countries. The midand-long term goal is to make SCODA a pilot in two-way local investment and trade system innovation among SCO countries, a stronghold of business innovation activities and start-ups, a pioneer for Belt and Road local economic and trade cooperation, and a hub of opening up in the new era.
