The 7th Qingdao Multinationals Summit is scheduled to take place in Qingdao from June 15 to 17, 2026.
Since its inception in 2019, the Summit has been held annually for six consecutive sessions. Consistently focusing on the core theme of "Multinationals and China," it has played a positive role in advancing China's high-standard opening-up and deepening cooperation with multinational corporations.
Continuing with this core theme, this year's Summit closely aligns with the new dynamics of openness and cooperation during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period. The theme has been set as "Advancing with the 15th Five-Year Plan for Innovation and Future," sending a firm signal of China's continued commitment to high-level opening-up and demonstrating Shandong Province's confidence and determination to deepen mutually beneficial cooperation with global multinationals.
In terms of guest invitations, building on the high-standard resources of the previous six editions and focusing on emerging trends of MNC cooperation with China during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, the Summit continues to expand its "circle of partners." To date, 435 corporate guests have confirmed their attendance. Among them, 355 are executives from overseas multinational corporations representing 36 countries and regions, including ASEAN, the EU, and South Korea. The remaining 80 are executives from domestic enterprises, primarily leaders of Fortune Global 500 companies and industry pioneers.
Regarding the event schedule, the parallel forums will consist of 23 sessions across four major categories: investment promotion, trade matchmaking, industry exchanges, and regional cooperation, maximizing the potential for unleashing cooperative opportunities.
