Ho Chi Minh City is setting ambitious goals to attract more capital into its industrial parks and export processing zones, aiming to increase the average investment intensity to about US $8 million–$10 million per hectare as part of a strategic push toward high‑tech, environmentally friendly and high‑value‑added industries.
City officials, speaking on behalf of industrial development authorities, say the initiative is intended to shift the region’s growth model toward modern, green and digital manufacturing sectors that are better integrated with global value chains. Priority is being given to smart manufacturing projects that use energy and resources efficiently while benefiting from improved logistics linkages.
The strategy is framed within a broader master plan for export processing zones and industrial parks that also emphasises eco‑industrial development, administrative reform and digital transformation to enhance competitiveness and attract quality investment. Leaders have expressed confidence that policy support, streamlined procedures and expanded market access will help sustain investor confidence and fuel long‑term industrial expansion.
Supply chain observers note that boosting average investment intensity in industrial zones can drive more robust infrastructure and manufacturing ecosystems, support advanced production capabilities and anchor more sophisticated logistics networks in the southern economic hub — positioning Ho Chi Minh City as a key node in Southeast Asia’s industrial landscape.
