Saigon Hi-Tech Park (SGHTP), stands as one of Vietnam's foremost technology centers. Situated strategically along Hanoi Highway, Tan Phu Ward, Thu Duc District, Ho Chi Minh City, this area garners attention from both domestic and international enterprises, boasting a Phase 1 area spanning up to 300 hectares.
With over 17 years of development, Saigon Hi-Tech Park has solidified its position as a premier destination for high-tech investment not only in Ho Chi Minh City but also nationwide. It focuses on four key sectors:
- Electronics - Information Technology - Telecommunications
- Precision mechanics - Automation
- Biotechnology applied in pharmaceuticals and the environment
- New energy - New materials - Nano-technology.
As an economy-technology zone designed and built upon advanced technology, SGHTP possesses a unique character aimed at attracting foreign investment and establishing a modern production force. By integrating production, business, and research, SGHTP plays a vital role in enhancing production and business efficiency, designing factories, and concurrently driving the industrialization and modernization of the nation.
The main tasks of the High-Tech Park include:
- Creating a conducive environment to attract foreign investment in high technology.
- Establishing a National Center for High Technology, serving as a driving force for economic development in the southern region.
- Linking research institutes, universities, and businesses to foster high technology development.
- Training high-tech workforce and contributing to the creation of a high-quality labor force for the city and the southern region.
Saigon Hi-Tech Park in Ho Chi Minh City is considered an attractive destination primarily due to the following factors:
Situated in Tan Phu Ward, District 9, Ho Chi Minh City, the High-Tech Park occupies a strategically evaluated geographical position with notable highlights.
Located at the Northeastern gateway of Ho Chi Minh City:
- Adjacent to Hanoi Highway and Ring Road 2.
- Close proximity to Metro Line 1 Ben Thanh - Suoi Tien.
- Surrounded by 42 industrial parks and export processing zones.
- Near the National University of Ho Chi Minh City
The location of the high-tech park project also creates convenient connections
- Approximately 15km from District 1.
- Only 4km from Cat Lai port.
- A distance of 18km to Tan Son Nhat Airport.
In the future, with the completion of Ring Road 3, the distance from the high-tech park to satellite cities in Dong Nai, Long An, as well as major industrial zones in Vung Tau, will significantly decrease.
This promises to create favorable conditions for experts, researchers, and intellectuals to work and live in this area. It is indeed a prime location, a golden area for investment, construction, and factory design.
Saigon Hi-Tech Park encompasses a total area of 913 hectares divided into 2 development phases. Phase 1 covers an area of 326 hectares, while Phase 2 covers an area of 587 hectares. This area includes the following subdivisions:
- High-tech manufacturing zone
- Research - development - training - incubation zone
- Management - high-tech service zone
- Residential area: including public housing and housing for experts
- Greenery - water surface area
- Technical infrastructure hub
- Supporting industrial zone
- Ancillary area
- Tax-free zone
By the year 2020, approximately 80% of the infrastructure of the high-tech park has been completed.
Additionally, in June 2019, the government announced the establishment of a second high-tech park in Long Phuoc Ward, District 9, covering an area of 166 hectares. The objective of this park is to link and provide comprehensive support for the first high-tech park. This holds the promise of creating a robustly developing high-tech ecosystem in the region.
In the future, Saigon Hi-Tech Park will emerge as one of the three main pillars of the new city, alongside the financial center of Thu Thiem in District 2 and the National University Village in Thu Duc City. This area will attract numerous large corporations and international experts, as well as domestic talents, to work and reside.
With the robust development of research and training centers, coupled with the presence of leading corporations and experts, Saigon Hi-Tech Park creates a professional and promising working environment for businesses. Major projects in education and factory construction by prominent entities such as Hutech Research and Training Institute, FPT University, VietJet Air Training School, Samsung Group, and Dien Quang have already established their presence here.
Saigon Hi-Tech Park has emerged as a beacon of economic development in Ho Chi Minh City, becoming a key economic area attracting the attention of investors and enterprises. With its strategic geographical location, convenient transportation, and complete infrastructure, this area is not only a center for high-tech manufacturing but also an ideal destination for investment in factory construction.
In the future, the eastern region is projected to attract around 1 million people to live and work, especially experts, intellectuals, and families. Investing in factory construction here not only brings benefits in terms of location and infrastructure but also optimizes production processes, enhances labor productivity, and promotes sustainable development of businesses in the era of Industry 4.0.
