In recent years, the Qihe High-tech Development Zone has been concentrating on new technologies and seizing new opportunities.

It has attracted a batch of high-level industries with promising prospects and strong capabilities. This has resulted in the formation of a bio-pharmaceutical and medical device industry cluster with over 40 enterprises, including Shandong Branden Medical Devices, Guangpu Medical, Biobase, and Tuper Medical.
