This was affirmed by Chairman of Hanoi People's Committee Tran Sy Thanh at the Dialogue Conference to remove difficulties and promote high-tech activities at Hoa Lac High-Tech Park.
Businesses still have problems with land clearance
Pursuant to Resolution No. 119/NQ-CP and 167/NQ-CP of the Government on the transfer of Hoa Lac High-Tech Park and its management board from the Ministry of Science and Technology to the Hanoi People's Committee, on November 24, 2023, the park was officially handed over to the Hanoi People's Committee for management.
To date, Hoa Lac High-Tech Park has attracted 109 investment projects (including 95 domestic projects and 14 foreign investment projects), with a total registered investment capital of about 115,500 billion VND, the rate of projects registered for investment in the Park reaching nearly 40%. Of these, many projects have come into operation, contributing to creating jobs for about 14,500 skilled workers, with revenue in 2023 reaching about 30,000 billion VND. This figure is very remarkable, especially in the context of investing in the development of a new model like Hoa Lac High-Tech Park has been and is still facing many difficulties and challenges. However, this result is not really commensurate with the potential and expectations. Enterprises operating in the Park are facing many difficulties and obstacles.
As an investor in the infrastructure of Hoa Lac High-Tech Park, Deputy General Director of Vinaconex Company Nguyen Khac Hai said that the current land status in some areas in the Park has not been compensated for site clearance, affecting the synchronous investment in infrastructure in functional areas as well as the implementation of some investment projects.
Also facing difficulties in site clearance, General Director of Hoa Lac High-Tech Park Development Company FPT Nguyen Van Loc said that FPT is one of the first investors in Hoa Lac High-Tech Park, with 3 projects under implementation. Currently, FPT University still has 7.6 hectares, and CNC 1 technology park still has 19 hectares that have not been cleared.
In addition, FPT also raised difficulties in land rental prices and mechanisms. Specifically, the company has not yet determined land rental fees, site clearance fee reimbursements, and has no contracts or land use right certificates for the projects.
In addition to difficulties in site clearance, at the conference, businesses also raised difficulties in infrastructure. Currently, the traffic connecting the inner city and Hoa Lac High-Tech Park has not met the needs of workers, and there are no housing projects or social infrastructure in the area.
A representative of Hawha AEno Engines Company said that since the company started production, there have been frequent fluctuations in input voltage, affecting production plans, product quality and causing damage to the company due to defective or damaged goods. Specifically, during this period, the number of incidents occurred 28 times, with an average of 5-6 electrical fluctuations occurring each year. Therefore, it is recommended that the Hanoi People's Committee and the Hoa Lac High-Tech Park Management Board direct and coordinate with relevant departments to find solutions to prevent and completely handle the causes of incidents, ensuring the quality of voltage supplied to the company.
In addition, many enterprises also reported weak mobile phone signals and no mobile phone signals in the factory area. The weak mobile phone signal strength limits and interrupts communication at work and in handling emergency situations. Therefore, it is recommended that the Hanoi People's Committee and the Hoa Lac High-Tech Park Management Board coordinate with mobile network operators to take measures to improve the quality of mobile phone signals.
Committed to accompanying businesses
At the conference, Chairman of Hanoi People's Committee Tran Sy Thanh and representatives of ministries, branches, localities, and leaders of Hoa Lac High-Tech Park Management Board directly answered difficulties and problems of enterprises.
Deputy Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyen Thi Bich Ngoc stated that in the context of many changes in the world and the region, competition to attract high-tech projects is increasingly fierce, countries have taken strong steps to attract high-tech projects. Therefore, the role of high-tech park policy mechanisms is extremely important. For Hoa Lac High-Tech Park, it is necessary to build a special mechanism to attract investors in terms of land and human resources. In addition, it is necessary to pay attention to developing social infrastructure and transport infrastructure. In fact, this is a bottleneck that does not attract investors to the technology park. On the other hand, it is necessary to have a focused investment promotion program to promote large corporations to invest in high technology.
After listening and talking to investors, Chairman of the City People's Committee Tran Sy Thanh said that the difficulties and problems are not new, but for many reasons, both objective and subjective, they cannot be resolved. "For Hoa Lac High-Tech Park to develop to its full potential, the determination and efforts of the State management agency alone are not enough, but the accompaniment and response of investors are very much needed. In the spirit of win-win cooperation, "harmonious benefits, shared risks", I hope that investors will be serious and determined to fulfill their investment commitments in Hoa Lac High-Tech Park" - Chairman of the City People's Committee Tran Sy Thanh expressed his opinion.
Chairman Tran Sy Thanh affirmed that the city government is committed to always accompanying the business community and entrepreneurs of the capital in general and organizations and enterprises in Hoa Lac High-Tech Park in particular; continuing to resolutely and synchronously implement solutions to support businesses and improve the investment and business environment.

In particular, the city has directed competent agencies to research and propose specific and outstanding mechanisms and policies to accelerate and improve the quality of development of Hoa Lac High-Tech Park, specifically including regulations related to Hoa Lac High-Tech Park in the draft Law on the Capital (amended), which is expected to be submitted to the National Assembly for consideration and approval at the upcoming 7th Session.
Hoa Lac High-Tech Park is determined to be a key area for research, development, testing, application of high technology, production of high-tech products and innovation of the country and the Capital; a testing and piloting point for mechanisms and policies for the development of high technology and high-tech zones nationwide.
In the coming time, the City People's Committee will strengthen the work of ensuring security and order for Hoa Lac High-Tech Park, have solutions to soon meet the conditions of housing and social infrastructure, convenient transportation for people working in Hoa Lac High-Tech Park, and will continue to invest in High-Tech infrastructure, including Controlled Testing Areas... to create the best conditions to promote High-Tech activities.
Chairman of the City People's Committee Tran Sy Thanh suggested that the Ministry of Science and Technology should soon submit to the Government a draft amendment to Decree 74/2017/ND-CP on specific policies for Hoa Lac High-Tech Park. Consider re-establishing the arrangement of an intellectual property registration office at Hoa Lac High-Tech Park to support businesses in research and development.
For members of the Special Working Group of the City People's Committee on removing difficulties and obstacles, effectively supporting businesses and investors, investment projects need to fully receive opinions and recommendations from investors, from which to research and advise on specific solutions for each specific issue.
Regarding problems under the city's authority, Chairman Tran Sy Thanh requested the Hoa Lac High-Tech Park Management Board to proactively coordinate with the Department of Planning and Investment and relevant departments and branches to quickly handle them, not to let them linger for a long time, and to have early feedback for businesses.
At the conference, there was a signing ceremony and exchange of cooperation agreements between the Hoa Lac High-Tech Park Management Board and the Department of Market Development and Science and Technology Enterprises and the Hanoi City Development Investment Fund; The ceremony of handing over the Decision on approving the investment policy and the Investment Registration Certificate for the investment project at Hoa Lac High-Tech Park.
