Rizhao is named for the initial sunlight that first shines here. It is a coastal advanced steel industry base laid out by the state and Shandong Province, home to the leading steel enterprises, Shandong Iron & Steel Group Rizhao Co., Ltd. and Rizhao Steel Holdings Group. At the same time, Rizhao is also a key base for vehicle manufacturing and parts industry being developed in Shandong Province, forming industrial clusters in marine economy, grain and oil processing, port logistics, refined sugar, healthcare, folk tourism, and others.

Rizhao City's Vice Mayor Zhang Jinmei believes that as a leading B2B e-commerce and industrial internet platform company, IBI aligns with Rizhao City's resource endowment in the path of industrial digital development. She hopes that through multi-dimensional cooperation between the government and enterprises, Rizhao City will be powerfully infused with sustainable development momentum and achieve strong collaboration with IBI and various Duoduo platforms. Deep cooperation can be achieved in jointly building digital supply chain platforms for the steel, automotive, and glass industries, transforming and upgrading port industries, and reducing costs and improving efficiency in logistics, contributing to the innovative development of the regional economy.

IBI Director, Senior Vice President, and TDD CEO Liu Zhai said: "IBI is vigorously promoting the construction of regional industrial internet ecosystems. We hope to fully integrate Rizhao City's industrial resources through communication and cooperation, relying on the full industry chain operation advantages of the internet platform, to form synergy in promoting the construction of digital supply chains and industrial internet ecosystems."
