Dong Nai Province authorities are making efforts to attract investments in hi-tech projects following the licensing of the Long Thanh Hi-Tech I P in Long Thanh District.
The province People's Committee granted a licence to Amata Long Thanh JSC, the operator of the first high-tech industrial park in Dong Nai, on July 22.
Located on a 410ha area, the US$282 million IP is expected to be a modern, international-standard facility that will abet the province's socio-economic development.
Dong Nai's aim is to mobilise investment in technology, support industries that use high technology, and modern engineering. Among the top five provinces in attracting FDI, Dong Nai has licensed four hi-tech investment projects in its 31 industrial parks, according to figures from its Department of Planning and Investment.
Speaking at the licensing ceremony, Somhatai Panichewa, president of Amata Vietnam JSC, said projects which would create 16,000 to 20,000 jobs with five to six times more capital than Amata would invest in the park after it opens in 2017.
Chairman of the Dong Nai People's Committee, Dinh Quoc Thai, praised the Thai-invested Amata Vietnam JSC's contributions to the province, adding that its Long Binh Industrial Park in Bien Hoa city has 140 occupants who have a combined registered capital of billions of dollars. Dong Nai has licensed around 1,300 FDI projects from 40 countries and territories with a total investment of US$26 billion, he added.
