From the effective practice of successfully attracting large, high-tech projects, Thanh Hoa province is focusing on attracting modern infrastructure projects in Nghi Son Economic Zone and Industrial Parks (KKTNS&CKCN); creating clean land fund and infrastructure, convenient operating technology to attract secondary projects with high-tech products.
According to the Management Board of Industrial Zones and Industrial Parks, in 2025, many large-scale industrial parks will continue to be welcomed by large investors. In addition to WHA Smart Technology Industrial Park, part of Phu Quy Industrial Park (Hoang Hoa) which has been approved in principle; WHA Smart Technology 2 Industrial Park - Thanh Hoa, part of Giang Quang Thinh Industrial Park (Thieu Hoa) continues to be proposed by WHA Group - Thailand, with an area of 174.9 hectares, a total investment of 1,275 billion VND and will be approved in principle in 2025. This investor also continues to be interested and has just signed a memorandum of understanding to study 2 more industrial parks and 1 new logistics service area in Thieu Hoa district.
According to Ms. Jareeporn Jarukornsakul, General Director of WHA Group, many secondary investors, which are multinational corporations, have shown interest in leasing land to carry out production projects with modern technology, creating products with high intellectual content. With financial resources for site clearance ready, this enterprise is proposing that Hoang Hoa district deploy and complete the handover of clean land to implement the project in the second quarter of this year, promptly welcoming the flow of investment capital shifting to Vietnam in general and Thanh Hoa in the soonest time.
It is known that WHA has more than 1,000 customers who are many large corporations in the world, operating in the fields of: Logistics, automotive industry, petrochemicals, electronics industry, consumer goods, healthcare, textiles..., such as: Ford, Mazda, GM, MG by SAIC... With the model of "WHA smart eco-industrial park", WHA's control center uses a camera surveillance system and real-time information platform to ensure safety and security for workers. Environmental indicators such as air quality, water level and wastewater are also monitored continuously 24/7. WHA's industrial parks are internationally recognized for their high-quality standard infrastructure and international standard facilities. This will be an attractive destination, suitable for the requirements and goals of the investment trends of large enterprises.
Also in 2025, the project to invest in technical infrastructure of the Western Industrial Park of Thanh Hoa City - Phase 1 proposed by Sumitomo Group - Japan, with an area of 167 hectares, a total investment of 2,918 billion VND, is also expected to be approved in principle. With a total planning area of about 645 hectares, this is an industrial park that Thanh Hoa province is oriented to develop in multiple sectors following the trend of Industry 4.0. The high-tech and environmentally friendly industries that this industrial park is shaping towards are the electrical - electronic, telecommunications industry; mechanical engineering; precision mechanics; automobile, motorbike, construction equipment, medical equipment industry; production of consumer goods and supporting industrial products.
Industrial Park No. 19, belonging to the NSZ proposed by Viet - Nhat Hop Thanh Industrial Park Investment Joint Stock Company, with an area of 295 hectares, total investment capital of 2,360 billion VND, Industrial Park No. 17 belonging to the NSZ proposed by VAS Nghi Son Group Joint Stock Company, with an area of 570.12 hectares, total investment capital of 6,432 billion VND is also being appraised by competent authorities, moving towards approval in principle.
In particular, the Vietnam - India High-Tech Pharmaceutical Industrial Park Phase 1 in the NSZ, proposed by SMS Pharmaceuticals Group in a joint venture with Vietnamese enterprises with an investment capital of about 200 million USD in Phase 1, is also being accelerated in legal progress to approve the policy this year. A representative of SMS Pharmaceuticals Group said that it will attract investment capital of about 4 - 5 billion USD in the next 10 years, producing products targeting the US and European markets, creating many jobs for people and helping to improve the capacity of Vietnamese enterprises.
From 2021 to now, the NS&CKCN Economic Zone has granted 86 new domestic investment projects and 22 foreign investment projects, with a total registered investment capital of VND 22,773 billion and USD 323 million, including a number of large-scale projects such as: DST Nghi Son Steel Rolling Mill, investment capital of VND 5,500 billion, Dai Duong High-Tech Reinforced Concrete Components Factory, investment capital of VND 1,099 billion, Billion Union Vietnam Fabric Factory, capital of USD 70 million... Some projects have come into operation, helping to increase production capacity for the province's production "brains". However, the results of attracting investment to NS&CKCN Economic Zone are still not commensurate with the potential and expectations, the important reason being the lack of clean infrastructure - the first factor of concern for foreign investors.
In order to promote investment in industrial zones, in addition to promoting meetings, dialogues, promoting the image and potentials and strengths when investing in the Industrial Zone and Industrial Park, the Thanh Hoa provincial leaders are directing the Management Board of the Industrial Zone and Industrial Park to pay special attention to administrative reform. Accordingly, the Management Board of the Industrial Zone and Industrial Park is being required to become a pioneer in administrative reform, with the goal of building a "service administrative agency", creating the most favorable conditions for investors in accessing and implementing investment procedures.
NSKT is on the way to becoming one of the country's key coastal urban, industrial and service centers; with key industrial complexes such as: petrochemical refining, thermal power, steel rolling, cement, export processing, etc., prioritizing attracting projects using high and modern technology, minimizing carbon emissions. New industrial parks are still attracting investors such as: Phu Quy Industrial Park (Hoang Hoa); Bac Hoang Hoa Industrial Park; Ha Long Industrial Park (Ha Trung) ... Thanh Hoa is also continuing to research, plan, and attract specialized industrial parks, auxiliary industrial parks, ecological industrial parks ... with international investors, soon creating a synchronous and modern infrastructure system, creating favorable conditions to attract investment, quickly filling up industrial land in industrial parks.
