Recently, the Qingdao Virtual Reality Technology Innovation Center, led by the Laoshan District Government, was officially recognized as the sixth science and technology innovation center approved by Qingdao City. This recognition is part of the city's broader efforts to foster innovation under its "13th Five-Year Plan." The selection process involves recommendations from districts and cities, expert evaluations, and public feedback, ensuring that each center aligns with regional development priorities. Among the previously approved centers were those focused on marine biomedicine, high-speed trains, smart homes, graphene, and smart living. The new center will concentrate on virtual reality, reflecting the city's growing enthusiasm for this sector.

The approval of the Qingdao Virtual Reality Technology Innovation Center is a significant milestone for Laoshan. Since 2015, when Laoshan signed a strategic partnership with Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, the district has seen a surge in high-end R&D institutions and businesses specializing in virtual reality. Last year, Laoshan became the first administrative area in China to join the China Virtual Reality Industry Alliance and was awarded the country's first virtual reality high-tech industrialization base. Major institutions like the State Key Laboratory of Virtual Reality Technology and Systems Qingdao Branch, the National Engineering Lab for Virtual Reality/Augmented Reality Technology and Applications, and Beihang Qingdao Research Institute have all set up shop here. Additionally, Goer Co., Ltd., a global leader in VR hardware, has established a strong presence, enhancing the district's influence in the industry.
Currently, over 30 virtual reality companies are clustered in Laoshan, generating approximately 4 billion yuan in annual revenue. Their products span various sectors including rail transit, oil drilling, marine equipment, smart homes, film and TV, defense, real estate, and commerce.
Laoshan's vision for VR development is becoming increasingly clear. This year, they've renovated a 10,000 square meter building at the Laoshan Tea Expo Park on Binhai Innovation Avenue and begun constructing a virtual reality technology innovation center. Following the official approval of the science and technology innovation center, Laoshan plans to develop three key bases: a virtual reality high-tech industrialization base, a virtual reality technology innovation demonstration base, and a virtual reality application demonstration base. They aim to create a comprehensive innovation platform encompassing R&D, talent training, technology transfer, and venture capital funding. This includes establishing platforms such as a virtual reality R&D demonstration platform, a virtual reality talent training platform, a virtual reality technology transformation platform, and a virtual reality venture capital and industrial fund platform.
Laoshan is also integrating VR technology into traditional industries, social management, and daily life, following a strategy of "one hospital leads, one valley supports, multiple points coordinate, and the whole city connects," aiming to become the capital of the VR industry.
Key projects and carriers in Laoshan District include Goer Qingdao Science and Technology Industrial Park, Haier Yungu, Qingdao International Innovation Park, Black Crystal Technology, Jindong Digital, Siyuan Technology, and Cat Eye Vision.
Looking ahead, Laoshan plans to leverage its existing strengths by attracting domestic and international research teams from prestigious universities and institutions. They aim to establish multiple virtual reality engineering research centers and labs, forming a cohesive R&D demonstration park. Furthermore, they intend to set up a VR technologyæˆæžœè½¬åŒ–platform and establish the nation’s first VR intellectual property exchange. By implementing the "100 Virtual Reality International Expert Plan," they hope to attract top international research institutions and experts, cultivating high-level talent in the VR field while setting up a 100 million yuan VR angel venture capital fund, a 500 million yuan VR collaborative innovation fund, and a 3 billion yuan VR industry investment fund. These funds will operate under a model where government guidance, corporate investment, and diverse social capital participation drive growth.
