Potential room and momentum for growth

Da Nang has great advantages for developing large-scale industrial park infrastructure linked to a diverse, modern, and sustainable ecosystem that meets the requirements of both domestic and international investors. These include a synchronized infrastructure system comprising road, air, and sea transport, abundant human resources, and the effective production capacity of existing supporting industries.

In addition, the central government has approved a series of special mechanisms and policies to create exceptional development momentum for the city, including the establishment of a Free Trade Zone and an International Financial Center.

With remaining development potential, coupled with rapid advances in science and technology and timely policy decisions, Da Nang possesses all the necessary conditions to develop high-tech industries, creating significant added value.

The focus is on forming a green, clean, and sustainable industrial ecosystem, encompassing digital industry, artificial intelligence and semiconductors; creative and cultural industries such as digital art, design, and fashion; and mechanical engineering and supporting industries.

In particular, the development of a high-tech industrial axis from the city center to the Chu Lai Open Economic Zone will help form interconnected production chains for development and consumption, enhancing the region’s overall competitiveness.

A number of key projects have been and are being implemented, including the Da Nang Hi-Tech Park, the Concentrated Information Technology Park, the Da Nang Software Park, the Da Nang Bay Information Technology Zone, and the investment project for the construction and operation of infrastructure in Subdivision B of the Nam Thang Binh Industrial Park.

These projects play a pivotal role in developing new, high-value-added industrial sectors within the city's global production value chain. They expect to provide a foundation for Da Nang to develop modern eco-industrial park models that are environmentally friendly and apply advanced technologies in governance and production management.

Solutions for breakthrough growth

To achieve breakthroughs in the coming time, the city needs to consider redistributing industrial development spaces in line with land potential, infrastructure connectivity, and raw material sources, thereby enhancing investment promotion and maximizing the production capacity of secondary investors.

Also, the city will consider developing a separate plan for industrial development in mountainous areas, linking the establishment of industrial zones and clusters with job creation for locals, especially ethnic minority groups.

The emphasis will be on deep processing industries for key products such as timber, forestry, medicinal herbs, and minerals, forming a value chain from exploitation and processing to consumption based on locally available raw materials.

In addition, it is necessary to effectively operate and synchronously implement land policies for the Da Nang Free Trade Zone to boost investment attraction, especially specific regulations on land leasing, compensation, and resettlement.
