In the rapidly rising virtual reality industry highland of Laoshan District, Qingdao, GoerTek, a key player in the global XR industry, has once again lost an important son. On January 8, 2026, the second phase of the GoerTek virtual reality project officially broke ground. This is not only another strategic layout of GoerTek in the Laoshan Virtual Reality Industrial Park after the first phase of the project with a total investment of 6 billion yuan was put into operation, but also marks a more solid step for Qingdao in building a globally leading XR industry cluster. The total investment of the project is 1.6 billion yuan, expected to be completed in 2027, and it is planned to reach full production by 2030. At that time, it will become an important engine to promote the development of regional new quality productivity.

Build a billion level intelligent production base

The planned total construction area for the second phase of the GoerTek virtual reality project is approximately 215000 square meters, with a land area of approximately 112 acres. The project will construct three high standard factory buildings, an administrative center, and complete supporting facilities, aiming to build an industry-leading intelligent manufacturing production line. After completion, the base will mainly be used to produce virtual reality machines, AI smart glasses, and related core precision components for domestic and foreign head technology enterprises. According to the plan, after the project is fully operational, it is expected to achieve an annual output value of over 10 billion yuan and an annual tax contribution of over 150 million yuan. This will greatly enhance GoerTek's scale delivery capability and industry aggregation effect in the global XR hardware manufacturing field, consolidating its leading position as a core supplier.

Building a complete XR industry ecosystem closed loop

The second phase project that started this time has formed a close strategic synergy and capacity relay with the first phase project that has already been put into operation. The total investment of the first phase project is as high as 6 billion yuan, covering an area of 214 acres. It was put into use in September 2023 and is currently mainly responsible for the manufacturing of virtual reality machines and smart glasses for domestic and foreign head brands. Its optical and micro display module production lines have been completed and entered the product trial stage, and are expected to achieve mass production in 2027. The launch of the second phase project will further expand GoerTek's production capacity in Laoshan, forming upstream and downstream linkage with the first phase project in areas such as optical modules, micro displays, and complete machine assembly. It will build a complete vertical integrated manufacturing capability for XR products from core components to terminal machines, forming a technologically advanced, comprehensive, and large-scale XR industry ecosystem.

Accelerate the rise of Qingdao's VR industry highland

The implementation of the GoerTek Phase II project has profound significance for the development of the virtual reality industry in Qingdao and even Shandong Province. It not only brings huge investment and considerable expected economic benefits, but also injects strong technology spillover effects and talent aggregation power into the local XR industry chain by introducing global top customer resources, industry-leading intelligent manufacturing systems, and high standard product quality control capabilities. As a pillar project of Qingdao Virtual Reality Industrial Park, the successive completion and production of Phase I and Phase II projects of GoerTek will effectively attract more upstream and downstream supporting enterprises to gather, accelerate the research and development of key technologies and the transformation of achievements, thereby promoting Qingdao to seize the high ground in the national and even global virtual reality industry competition, and providing core driving force for the high-quality development of regional economy and industrial transformation and upgrading.
