en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Shandong Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology, along with other departments, recently jointly issued the "Shandong Province 'AI + Manufacturing' Action Plan (2026-2028)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Action Plan"), which clearly proposes to enhance the level of platform carriers, plan the construction of the "China Computing Valley" artificial intelligence public service platform, strive to create national AI application pilot bases in the manufacturing sector, cultivate a batch of "10G+AI" parks, Qilu "Model Power Space" and other carriers, and accelerate the transformation and application of technological achievements. The "Action Plan" sets the overall goal that by 2028, the province's artificial intelligence industry operating revenue will exceed 250 billion yuan, accounting for more than 10% of the national total.
An Wenjian, Deputy Secretary of the Party Leadership Group and Deputy Director of the Shandong Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology, introduced at the provincial government's regular policy briefing on May 21 that the "Action Plan" focuses on six major key actions, revolves around 19 iconic industrial chains, and concentrates on 6 major manufacturing links and 18 types of high-value scenarios, including R&D and design, production and manufacturing, supply and marketing services, operation and maintenance, business management, and industrial collaboration, to comprehensively promote the deep application of artificial intelligence across the entire chain, all elements, and all scenarios of the manufacturing industry.
In terms of computing power infrastructure, the "Action Plan" proposes strengthening intelligent computing power supply, accelerating the research and development of intelligent computing power units such as domestic AI chip servers, building a diverse, ubiquitous, intelligent, agile, collaboratively scheduled, green, and low-carbon intelligent computing network system, and promoting the evolution of cloud computing services to cloud intelligent computing services. Shandong Province already has a solid foundation in this field. In 2025, the province's intelligent computing industry scale exceeded 100 billion yuan, the proportion of intelligent computing power surpassed 51%, 234 computing centers were put into operation, with a total scale of approximately 23.18 Eflops. The China Computing Valley • Artificial Intelligence Public Service Platform has been launched and is operational, providing training, inference, and other computing power services to over 1,600 enterprises and universities nationwide.
Enhancing the level of platform carriers is a key link deployed by the "Action Plan" in the field of information communication technology. According to the plan, Shandong will build around 5 regional-level, 20 industry-level, and 100 enterprise-level artificial intelligence capability centers annually. At the same time, it will create a batch of provincial-level high-energy R&D platforms such as artificial intelligence innovation laboratories and industrial innovation centers. The supporting "Several Policy Measures on Supporting AI-Enabled High-Quality Development of the Manufacturing Industry" was simultaneously introduced, launching precise policy tools such as computing power vouchers, model vouchers, and corpus vouchers, and establishing an artificial intelligence industry development fund with a total scale of 2 billion yuan.
The "Action Plan" simultaneously deploys the "Model-Data Resonance" action, sorting out data resource lists that match industry model needs, cultivating "out-of-the-box" data corpus products, supporting enterprises in developing industry-level and scenario-level large models, creating an industrial "general + vertical" product matrix, and innovating software agents and embodied intelligent agents. As of 2025, the revenue of Shandong Province's large model industry reached 6.38 billion yuan, and the number of large model products evaluated by third-party institutions reached 266.
In terms of industrial ecosystem cultivation, the "Action Plan" proposes deepening the tiered cultivation of enterprises, implementing a support plan for small and medium-sized enterprise entrepreneurship, cultivating over 100 benchmark vertical enterprises annually, and building an AI enterprise development landscape of "leading the wave and competing in the spray." Focusing on core links such as AI + R&D and design, production and manufacturing, and business management, it aims to create a batch of scenario-based, specialized artificial intelligence service enterprises, and support telecom operators and digital intelligence technology enterprises in undertaking industry empowerment applications.
Data shows that the industrial foundation for Shandong's promotion of "AI + Manufacturing" continues to be consolidated. In 2025, the province's artificial intelligence core industry revenue reached 128.93 billion yuan, accounting for about one-tenth of the national total, a year-on-year increase of 39.2%; the number of key enterprises engaged in R&D and services in fields such as large models, intelligent agents, big data, and large computing power reached 1,124. The AI application penetration rate among the province's above-scale manufacturing enterprises exceeded 35%, cultivating 2 national leading-level intelligent factories and 49 excellent-level ones, and creating 130 data-driven, model-empowered "Industrial Brains" and 5,657 "Morning Star Factories."
The introduction of the "Action Plan" coincides with the opening year of the "15th Five-Year Plan." The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and seven other departments previously jointly issued the "Implementation Opinions on the 'AI + Manufacturing' Special Action," and Shandong Province positions itself as a growth pole for the AI industry development in the northern region and a new highland for national AI demonstration applications. From the layout of intelligent computing infrastructure to the construction of public service platforms, from the cultivation of large model products to the large-scale application of industrial intelligent agents, Shandong Province is promoting the deep integration of artificial intelligence and the manufacturing industry with a systematic policy framework, providing systemic support for the leapfrog development from "Made in Shandong" to "Intelligently Made in Shandong."
