Head of the Management Board of Da Nang High-Tech Park and Industrial Parks - DSEZA - Mr. Vu Quang Hung said that Da Nang Free Trade Zone (FTZ) has entered a stage of substantive implementation with high requirements for progress, efficiency and implementation responsibility. The legal corridor has been established relatively fully. The current focus is on organizing the operation of FTZ smoothly, transparently and with substantive competitiveness.
In the process of implementation, speed is considered a highlight. In 2025, immediately after the approval decision, some FTZ zones launched projects, and at the same time implemented planning, infrastructure design and secondary investor promotion. The parallel approach helps shorten the delay between infrastructure investment and project attraction, instead of sequential implementation.
The remaining FTZ areas are prepared according to a clear roadmap. Investment dossiers, appraisals and consultations with departments and branches are carried out methodically from the beginning. The goal is to ensure stable implementation, limit major adjustments in the implementation process. At the same time, many investors have signed memorandums of understanding to continue on-site surveys and working with management agencies, showing the attraction from clear planning, transparent mechanisms and consistent approaches.
A notable new point is that all FTZ areas are digitized with BIM scan technology. Data is provided free of charge to investors. This solution supports inventory, site clearance and planning survey with high accuracy. Project preparation time is shortened. The quality of planning plans is improved from the beginning.
Along with physical infrastructure, digital infrastructure is focused on. The smart FTZ project has been completed, laying the foundation for a data-based management model. The FTZ introduction document includes websites, videos and synthesized documents built in Vietnamese and English, ensuring unified and timely information for investors.
Management and operation efficiency continues to be improved. Investment, construction, and environmental processes in the FTZ are reviewed and standardized in the direction of one focal point, reducing intermediaries. Many procedures are shortened by about 20–30% of processing time compared to before. Channels for receiving reflections and recommendations from businesses are publicly announced, helping to improve transparency and resolution responsibility.
Stepping into the next phase, from 2026, the management agency - DSEZA commits to continue to shorten the processing time of key procedures in the FTZ by at least 30%. The processing time is made public. Responsibility is specifically attached in the implementation organization. The quality of service to people and businesses is maintained at a high level, considering this a consistent measure of reform.
The investor management viewpoint is clearly defined. FTZ is an institutional pilot, not a legal exception. Investor approval is carried out in accordance with the prescribed criteria, ensuring equality and transparency. Enforcement discipline is applied through depository, schedule binding and recovery mechanisms according to regulations. The city accompanies within the framework of law, does not prolong slow project implementation, and does not bear business risks for investors.
It's a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit.
