Hanoi starts construction of a nearly 300 ha industrial park not following the old model

On the morning of May 20, Vietnam Import-Export and Construction Corporation (Vinaconex) in coordination with Hanoi People's Committee organized the Groundbreaking Ceremony of the Dong Anh Industrial Park Infrastructure Construction and Business Investment Project - one of the largest industrial parks in the Capital.

Unlike the traditional industrial park model, Dong Anh Industrial Park is invested and developed by Vinaconex in the direction of becoming a new generation industrial park.

The industrial park has high technology, clean industry, logistics and innovation converge; towards forming an ecological, smart and low-emission industrial space, gradually participating more deeply in the global value chain, accompanying Vietnam's commitment to net "zero" emissions by 2050.

Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Truong Viet Dung, Vice Chairman of Hanoi People's Committee affirmed: "Dong Anh Industrial Park, or the City's industrial parks with development orientations in the coming time, I would like to emphasize, do not develop according to the old industrial model.

The new model revolves around 3 pillars: Switching from land exploitation to exploitation of knowledge, technology and productivity.

Switching from simple processing to deep processing, supporting industries, high-tech industries and modern logistics.

Switching from just creating jobs to creating better livelihoods, higher incomes, career opportunities, and startups for local people.

Regarding the Dong Anh industrial park that has just started construction, the Vice Chairman of Hanoi City People's Committee requested the investor to focus the highest resources, organize methodical and professional construction, ensure progress, quality, labor safety and environmental safety.

At the same time, calculate from the beginning transport infrastructure, electricity, water, wastewater treatment, fire prevention and fighting, digital infrastructure, logistics and business support services.

Do not allow the situation of having land but lacking connecting infrastructure, having investors but lacking operating conditions, having industrial parks but management not according to modern standards.

The Management Board of High-Tech Parks and Industrial Parks of the City, departments, branches and the government of Thu Lam and Phuc Thinh communes continue to accompany investors in the spirit of government service: Clear work, clear people, clear deadlines, clear responsibilities, clear results.

The City government also hopes that people will continue to support the capital's policy, accompany the government and businesses in the project implementation process.

Because the meaning of the Industrial Park will not only lie in new infrastructure projects, but in new development opportunities for the locality itself such as opportunities to learn a trade, work, start a business and develop right in their homeland.

From a more comprehensive perspective, in 2026, Hanoi strives to start construction of 6 industrial parks with a total scale of nearly 1,400 hectares.

The city is preparing 10 industrial parks under planning, with a total scale of about 3,455 hectares. These are not just figures on area, this is an affirmation of the bravery of restructuring the production space of a Capital ready to be a pioneer, ready to take big action to create new room for high-tech industry, clean industry, modern logistics and new value chains.

Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Pham Thai Duong - General Director of Vinaconex Corporation emphasized: "Dong Anh Industrial Park is not just an industrial infrastructure project, but a part of the new development space of Hanoi Capital in the next century.

Vinaconex leaders also affirmed that the enterprise will focus maximum resources on finance, human resources, technology and management capacity to implement the project on schedule, ensuring quality, strictly complying with environmental and sustainable development requirements.

Vinaconex also determined that the success of the Project is not only measured by investment scale or business efficiency, but must also be measured by responsibility and value.
