Currently, in Hai Phong City, there are a number of industrial parks that have been approved for investment but have not yet come into operation, including: Vinh Quang Industrial Park Phase 1 (Vinh Bao District); Trang Due Industrial Park 3 (An Lao District); Nomura Industrial Park Phase 2 (Hong Bang District); and Nam Trang Cat Industrial Park (Hai An District). Localities and investors are urgently carrying out site clearance work, preparing conditions to start construction as planned.

At a recent meeting, Secretary of the City Party Committee Le Tien Chau emphasized that in 2025, Hai Phong was assigned by the Government to achieve an economic growth target of 12.5%, 1.56 times higher than the average growth rate of the whole country. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to have the synchronous participation of the entire political system, consensus from the people and efforts of enterprises operating in industrial parks in the area.

For industrial parks that have not yet been approved for investment, the Secretary of the City Party Committee assigned the Party Delegation of the Hai Phong City People’s Committee to direct a thorough study of industrial development needs, planning factors, land, and human resources to promote projects. In particular, priority will be given to developing models of ecological industrial parks, high-tech industries, and special supporting industries in the Southern Coastal Economic Zone of the city.

>> A centrally-run city in the North is about to form a new generation free trade zone of 1,000 hectares.

Regarding the Nam Hai Phong Economic Zone project, Mr. Le Tien Chau requested relevant departments and branches to develop a specific schedule and ensure the planned timelines. It is expected that the project will start construction in 2025 and can begin operating from 2026. The city is committed to accompanying investors, promptly removing difficulties, and creating the most favorable conditions for the project to be implemented on schedule.

The Southern Coastal Economic Zone of Hai Phong City has an area of ​​about 20,000 hectares, oriented to develop into a multi-industry economic zone of international stature, with pillars of high-tech industry, modern logistics services, smart urban areas, eco-tourism and a pilot free trade zone. This is considered a new economic growth driver, and at the same time a foundation for Hai Phong to affirm its role as a marine economic center, an international logistics center and an important growth pole of the region as well as the whole country.

By 2030, the Southern coastal economic zone is expected to become the main driving force of the city’s economy, equivalent to about 80% of the current capacity of Dinh Vu - Cat Hai Economic Zone. This will also be an important nucleus in linking with neighboring economic zones, forming a chain of coastal economic zones, a development pillar for the entire region. According to the plan, this economic zone can contribute about 550,000 billion VND to the budget and create 301,000 new jobs.
