A key IZ for FDI recruitment in the northern region

Amata City Ha Long, a key industrial zone for Quang Ninh province and the Red River Delta, has attracted new-generation FDI enterprises.

Boasting synchronous and modern infrastructure, Amata Ha Long is oriented towards sustainable development, high competitiveness, and is expected to become a driving force for growth in Quang Ninh province.

Amata Ha Long enjoys a strategic location in the province, boasting comprehensive and interconnected transport infrastructure.

Furthermore, technical infrastructure, including power and water supplies, wastewater treatment, telecommunications, and an internal transport network have all been installed to a high standard.

According to Nguyen Van Nhan, general director of Amata City Ha Long, after more than six years of development, Song Khoai IP has attracted 18 foreign-invested projects from six countries covering approximating 130ha. The total registered investment value comes to nearly $2.6 million, creating jobs for about 5,000 labours.
