Ninh Binh ready to welcome “wave” of hi-tech investment
Ambition to become a new magnet
Preparation for a wave of high-tech investment requires more specific and practical steps than just tax incentives. The current focus of Ninh Binh province is to build a solid material and human foundation. After the first Provincial Party Congress for the 2025-2030 term, closely following the viewpoints, goals and key tasks, authorities at all levels, sectors and localities in the province have urgently built and issued action programmes focusing on promoting the development of modern, smart and green industry.
Focusing on restructuring space, developing, attracting strategic investment and preparing high-quality human resources are considered strategic breakthrough solutions to turn Ninh Binh into a centrally-governed city with modern and sustainable industry.
To realise the goal, Ninh Binh province is consistent in its viewpoint of developing green, clean industry, less labor-intensive, energy-intensive, high budget revenue, creating great added value, making industry truly a driving force for socio-economic development.
The focus is on restructuring the industrial development space of the new province, developing according to the Industrial - Urban - Service model. This model is not only to attract investment but also a solution for effective land use, increasing mechanical migration and promoting urbanization.
After the congress, the provincial Party Committee issued an Action Programme to implement the Resolution. In which, it focuses on promoting the development of modern and smart industry; developing a project to develop economic zones, industrial parks (IPs), and industrial clusters (ICs) towards green industry in the province for the period of 2026-2030, with a vision to 2050.
The province is investing in completing the infrastructure of Ninh Co Economic Zone (EZ), Ha Nam High-Tech Park and at least 10 new, synchronous and modern IPs to attract key high-tech industries, such as: Artificial Intelligence, electronics - semiconductors, biotechnology and medicine along with new materials technology; and focusing on attracting investment in large projects, modern technology, products with high added value and making great contributions to the State budget.
In the period of 2026-2030, with a vision to 2050, Ninh Binh province plans to adjust the area of 27 industrial parks already in the provincial planning, and add and develop 27 new industrial parks. By 2050, the whole province will have 80 industrial parks with a total area of up to 23,157 hectares, accounting for 6% of the total natural area. It is expected that by 2030, there will be at least 32 industrial parks in operation with an occupancy rate of about 70%, creating jobs for 275,000 workers.
In particular, to anticipate the "wave" of high technology shifting globally, the province will plan five new high-tech industrial parks in the Northern region with a total area of 1,225 hectares.
This adjustment is expected to create a modern industrial park system, not only attracting investment in large projects but high-tech industrial parks are also centres for research - innovation - technology transfer, creating high value chains.
Nguyen Hoang Anh, Head of the Provincial Economic Zone and Industrial Park Management Board said that in recent times, along with directing the review of planning and infrastructure development, the province has focused on promoting investment attraction and improving the business environment; strengthening environmental management and project control, resolutely not licensing projects with high risk of pollution.
Cleaning the nest to welcome "green" eagles
The wave of high-tech investment is no longer a plan on paper but is gradually becoming visible through specific projects and pioneering investors.
The fact that Ninh Binh province has successfully attracted a number of large corporations in recent times has proven its attractiveness. Specifically, Western Pacific Group (WPG) started construction of Dong Van V Industrial Park - Phase 1, with a total area of 237.29 hectares and a total investment of more than 2.91 trillion VND in early October 2025. This is one of the key infrastructure projects in the province's Industrial - Urban - Service development strategy.
Sharing the infrastructure investment strategy of Dong Van V Industrial Park - Phase 1, Nguyen Dinh Quang, Deputy General Director of Western Pacific Group, said that to ensure the province's green growth target, the group has integrated green standards, designed the industrial park according to a green, clean ecological model combined with a centralised waste treatment system. In addition, the group encourages and supports secondary investors to use renewable energy such as solar energy and use energy-saving equipment.
The Administrative Director of the Xingyu Safety Technology (Vietnam) Pte. Ltd. said in 2024, Xingyu Group (Singapore) decided to invest in building the Xingyu Vietnam Safety Technology Factory in expanded Bao Minh Industrial Park, with an area of 10 hectares. The project has a total investment capital of nearly 84.5 million USD. The factory was built to provide high-quality protective gloves to serve the domestic and export markets.
Ninh Binh's comprehensive preparation efforts, from perfecting the preferential policy framework, synchronous investment in technical infrastructure, to the strategy of developing high-quality human resources, have created an attractive and competitive high-tech investment environment. The province is not simply calling for capital, but is creating a sustainable ecosystem, ready to become a new production and research base of the country.
With these methodical steps, Ninh Binh is affirming its determination to strongly transform itself from a traditional tourism and industrial centre into a new technology "magnet", opening a chapter of prosperous, modern and sustainable development in the near future./.
