Xiamen possesses unique marine resources and is among the first demonstration zones for marine economy development in the country. From fundamental research and scientific-technical innovations to industrial application and open cooperation — a dynamic innovative ecosystem for the marine economy is gradually being formed in this coastal city.
Since the implementation of the 14th five-year plan, the average annual growth rate of the gross output of Xiamen’s marine industry has exceeded 7%, and its share in the city’s GDP has reached 30%. During this period, 30 leading marine enterprises, 15 publicly listed marine-focused companies, and 140 small and medium-sized innovative and specialized enterprises have been established. Last month, the “Special Development Plan for Xiamen’s Marine Economy for the Period of the 15th Five-Year Plan” was published, sending a clear signal that the city is mobilizing all efforts to accelerate Xiamen’s establishment as a modern marine city.
The International Ocean Week in Xiamen 2026 will take place from November 5 to 11 under the slogan “Joint Protection of Blue Seas and Oceans, Harmonious Coexistence of Humans and Oceans.” The event is being held for the 20th consecutive time and attracts officials and experts from more than 50 leading international organizations from over 130 countries and regions worldwide. For Xiamen and all of China, the Week serves as an important channel of openness in the maritime field.
