From September 22 to September 24, the 2025 Qingdao-Thailand Economic and Trade Cooperation Exchange Conference was successfully held. IBICNAUTO was invited to attend the conference and, alongside major enterprises such as Haier Group, Qingdao Port Group of Shandong Port, Sailun Group, and Shandong Energy Qingdao Hongjin International Co., Ltd., explored paths and mechanisms to deepen Qingdao-Thailand economic and trade cooperation. The conference was led by Zeng Zanrong, a member of the Standing Committee of the Shandong Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Qingdao Municipal Party Committee. Government and business representatives gathered in Bangkok, Thailand, to build consensus on industry collaboration and overseas expansion for both regions.

At the meeting, Zeng Zanrong, a member of the Standing Committee of the Shandong Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Qingdao Municipal Party Committee, emphasized using economic and trade cooperation as a bond to promote the deep integration of local enterprises with the Thai market. Relying on the resource advantages of leading enterprises, Zeng advocated for building an efficient overseas supply chain system to assist in industrial upgrading and international development.

Su Jianguang, Chairman of Qingdao Port Group of Shandong Port, spoke about the construction of port logistics corridors, stating that they would optimize the sea-land intermodal transport network to provide logistical support for enterprises expanding their overseas businesses.

During the meeting's exchange phase, New Grand Rubber (Thailand) Co., Ltd., a representative enterprise in the Thai rubber tire industry, had its General Manager, Huang Xiaokui, introduce the resource advantages of Thailand's rubber industry and the demand for cross-border cooperation, offering a localized perspective for the Qingdao-Thailand rubber tire industry chain collaboration, further consolidating the foundation for cooperation between the two parties.

IBITDD Vice President and CNAUTO Platform CEO Zhang Wei shared experiences of empowering the cross-border supply chain with digital technology based on industrial internet practices. He proposed a cooperation strategy of a "Digital Cloud Factory + Overseas Central Warehouse," which was well received by the conference participants.

After the exchange meeting, IBI actively responded to the call for cooperation. Together with Shandong Energy Qingdao Hongjin International Co., Ltd., they visited the New Grand factory to promote the implementation of deep overseas supply chains and digital cloud factory initiatives on-site.

Gao Feng, Chairman of Shanneng Group Qingdao Hongjin Company, expressed willingness to join hands with IBI to integrate energy and industrial resources, improve the digital management level of overseas production bases, and reduce supply chain costs.

In the future, IBI will also cooperate with partners to establish agricultural products, mineral, and rubber tire overseas central warehouses in Thailand. By leveraging localized warehousing networks, they aim to shorten the supply chain response time and enhance the efficiency of cross-border product circulation, further deepening cooperation between Qingdao and Thailand in advantageous industrial fields and injecting new impetus into regional economic and trade development.
