Shandong and Macao have also been working together in a wide range of fields, including traditional Chinese medicine, tourism, and finance. The establishment of 18 new Macao-invested enterprises in Shandong in recent years further highlights the deepening economic ties between the two regions.

Furthermore, Shandong and Macao have been strengthening cooperation in science and education. Both regions have established robust cooperation mechanisms in engineering technology, advanced biotechnology, traditional Chinese medicine, and marine education that are fostering innovation and driving the integration of industry, academia, and research.
