The number of core digital economy enterprises in Shandong province had reached 400,300, ranking third in the country and accounting for 8.75 percent of the national total by Nov 30, 2024, growing 14.69 percent compared to the end of 2023.

To become a national leader in the development of the digital economy, Shandong is vigorously promoting digital industrialization and industrial digitization, enhancing the high-quality development of the digital economy.

As an agricultural powerhouse, the province is also empowering agricultural development through digital transformation.

In Shouguang, a city of Shandong's Weifang, known as "China's Hometown of Vegetables", greenhouses owned by young farmers are equipped with integrated water and fertilizer machines, automatic ventilation fans, and plant supplementary lighting. These devices make management more intelligent and efficient, ensuring better crop growth.

Furthermore, focusing on sales of agricultural products, the city is advancing the development of a rural e-commerce logistics network, establishing an internet logistics platform centered on distribution and transportation. Over 5,000 types of vegetables, seeds, and seedlings are currently sold online, with as many as 200,000 daily orders.

Moreover, Shandong is comprehensively improving residents' digital literacy and skills. It has been organizing a series of activities such as the "Digital Literacy and Skills Enhancement Theme Exhibition" and various lecture tours and conducting unique training programs like "Immersive Training in Artificial Intelligence Technology", training over 1.1 million people annually.
