Attracting Reputable and Capable Investors

In order to strengthen investment promotion in industrial parks, the Management Board of high-tech industrial parks and industrial zones in Da Nang has proposed a number of solutions. Accordingly, in terms of industries and areas prioritized to attract investment, Da Nang will focus on attracting investment and selecting projects operating in hi-tech, advanced and modern technology-friendly industries and using clean energy, especially in the fields of information technology, production of electronic components, high technology, supporting industries in the field of mechanics and precision mechanics. Da Nang will focus on attracting investment in large projects producing export products to participate in the global value chain. Projects that are labor-intensive, use outdated technology, consume large amounts of energy or affect national defense and security are not accepted.

Regarding markets and partners, Da Nang will continue to promote international trade and investment promotion, maintain relationships to provide information for investment promotion organizations and business associations such as KOTRA (Korea), JETRO (Japan) and Amcham (USA) to effectively approach potential partners from these markets. At the same time, Da Nang will focus on mobilizing investment from large corporations of Forbes 500 and enterprises in developed countries of G7 and OECD.

For domestic direct investment, Da Nang will focus on attracting investment from large corporations and enterprises; and effectively exploit financial and technological resources from overseas Vietnamese in the fields of R&D, information technology, and high technology.

Da Nang will create an open and transparent investment environment so that Da Nang in general, and industrial parks in particular, are really attractive destinations for domestic and foreign investors.
