At the Conference, Mr. Le Trung Chinh, Deputy Secretary of the City Party Committee, Chairman of the People's Committee of Da Nang City emphasized: with strategic vision and specific commitments, Da Nang is ready to become the leading technology center in Vietnam and Southeast Asia; an attractive destination for investors, research organizations and technology enterprises in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) and semiconductor chips.
Mr. Le Trung Chinh said that in recent years, Da Nang has affirmed its role as the economic locomotive of the Central Highlands region. After the pandemic, the city recovered quickly. In 2024, the city welcomed more than 10.9 million tourists; including 4.1 million international visitors, an increase of 36.3% compared to 2023. Along with that, the system of more than 23 international and domestic routes, with a frequency of 111 flights per day, has created favorable conditions for trade, investment and technology transfer.
Creating breakthrough momentum from core technology
Having been steadfast in its high-tech development orientation for over 20 years, Da Nang has identified AI and semiconductors as two key areas for breakthroughs. The city is focusing on implementing programs to support research, technology development, and human resource training, while also building specific mechanisms and policies to attract technology enterprises and enhance digital applications in urban management and public administration.
Notably, Da Nang has attracted the attention and cooperation of many global technology corporations such as Synopsys, Marvell, Renesas, Qorvo, Nvidia, Intel...; many businesses have been exploring investment opportunities and opening research and development offices in the city.
The lever for Da Nang to develop strongly is Resolution No. 136/2024/QH15 dated June 26, 2024 of the National Assembly, piloting a number of specific mechanisms and policies for Da Nang from January 1, 2025 for 5 years, especially prioritizing high-tech fields such as AI and semiconductors. Accordingly, policies on tax exemption and reduction, infrastructure support, space rental, attracting experts and developing high-quality human resources have created a favorable and attractive investment environment for domestic and foreign enterprises.
At the same time, Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW dated December 22, 2024 of the Politburo on scientific and technological breakthroughs, innovation and national digital transformation is a great opportunity for Da Nang to accelerate the development of core technology and promote integration into the global value chain.
Modern infrastructure, quality human resources, breakthrough policies
Da Nang is currently promoting investment in technology infrastructure with a 1,128-hectare High-Tech Park, a 90,000-square-meter Software Park No. 2 , and innovation centers. At the same time, the city focuses on training and developing high-quality human resources through cooperation with universities and large technology corporations, forming a highly qualified workforce to meet business needs.
Along with that, the city government proactively implements comprehensive incentive policies, creating an open investment environment and healthy competition, contributing to attracting capital, technology and intelligence into the high-tech sector.
Not stopping there, Da Nang promotes international cooperation, comprehensively develops the microchip value chain from design, production, testing, packaging, forming a closed technology ecosystem right in the locality. In 2024, the number of semiconductor enterprises in Da Nang doubled compared to 2023, from 9 to 18 enterprises, along with a series of startups in the field of AI.
Affirming its commitment to accompany businesses and investors, Da Nang aims to create new values, contributing to making Vietnam a bright spot on the global artificial intelligence and semiconductor industry map.
