Hai Phong Specialized Economic Zone: A New Era of High-Tech Growth
Consequently, following a period of strategic planning, Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha has officially signed a Prime Ministerial decision on establishing the Hai Phong Specialized Economic Zone (EZ) in the northern port city. This strategic move aims to transform the region into a modern industrial powerhouse.
Strategic Location and Industrial Scale
Specifically, the 5,300-hectare site spans across several communes including Thuong Hong and Nguyen Luong Bang. This new economic hub in Northern Vietnam is meticulously designed to leverage the city’s inherent strengths in maritime logistics and service development.
In addition to its size, the EZ will comprise multiple functional areas, including:
-
High-tech industrial parks and clusters.
-
Comprehensive trade and service zones.
-
A dedicated non-tariff area and logistics centers.
-
Furthermore, specialized innovation hubs will be integrated into the layout.
Economic Impact of the New Specialized Zone
To ensure long-term viability, the project focuses on environmentally friendly industries aligned with the city’s economic potential. Beyond industrial output, the development of the Hai Phong Specialized Economic Zone aims to strengthen trade connectivity with neighboring regions and international markets. At the same time, the project will prioritize preserving cultural heritage and ensuring national security.
As a result of these efforts, this zone will be a key driver for the Red River Delta. According to the Official Vietnam Government Portal (Outbound Link Example), it is expected to contribute approximately 3–4% of the city’s GRDP by 2030, rising to over 5% in subsequent years.
Development Roadmap to 2035
Regarding the timeline, the progress of this massive infrastructure project will follow a structured roadmap:
-
By 2026: Completion of planning work and detailed 1/2000-scale construction plans.
-
2026 – 2030: During this phase, authorities will finalize legal procedures and implement core investment projects.
-
2031 – 2035: Finally, the area will complete its socio-economic infrastructure and evolve into a smart, green urban area.
In conclusion, by prioritizing high-tech sectors, the Hai Phong Specialized Economic Zone is set to become a model for sustainable urban and industrial integration. For more updates on regional growth, visit our News section.
