Conference on assigning development investment targets for 2025 to industrial parks and industrial clusters in the province

Standing Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Tuan Thanh delivered the opening speech at the conference

Speaking at the opening of the conference, Standing Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Tuan Thanh said that industrial parks and clusters in the province have attracted about 750 investment projects in production and business, creating jobs and stable income for about 47,000 workers, increasing budget revenue, contributing to shifting the economic structure and labor structure in the locality towards increasing the proportion of industry, creating a strong spread, improving the material and spiritual life of people in the area.

According to the Standing Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, the planning and development of industrial parks and clusters has created conditions for accessing land policies, meeting the demand for production space, attracting businesses to invest in industrial parks and clusters; contributing to controlling and limiting environmental pollution in residential areas. However, in the management and development of industrial zones and clusters, there are still many shortcomings and limitations in technical infrastructure. Most of the industrial zones and clusters are not yet completed and not synchronous; investment progress is still slow and prolonged; investment promotion and calling for investment have not received due attention from technical infrastructure investors; state management of industrial zones and clusters has not received due attention; inspection and examination work has not been carried out regularly and continuously...

Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Pham Anh Tuan and Permanent Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Tuan Thanh chaired the conference.

To overcome the above situation, in 2024, the Provincial People's Committee decided to assign management, investment and development targets for 6 industrial zones and 46 industrial clusters in the province. After one year of implementation, in addition to the achieved results, there are still some shortcomings and limitations;  Only 12 industrial clusters completed 100% of the assigned targets and no industrial park completed 100% of the assigned targets; the number of projects attracted to industrial parks is still low (only 21/30), not meeting the set targets, the progress of investment in technical infrastructure construction in some industrial parks and clusters is still slow and unsynchronized, especially for industrial parks invested by the state.

Therefore, the Standing Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Tuan Thanh emphasized that it is necessary to organize a Conference to evaluate the results of implementing the investment and development targets of industrial parks and clusters assigned by the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee in 2024; at the same time, identify the existing problems, limitations and causes; propose appropriate measures and solutions to promote investment attraction and development of industrial parks and clusters; develop investment targets and develop industrial parks and clusters in 2025, contributing to improving the quality and efficiency of industrial parks and clusters in the coming time. At the same time, it is also hoped that through the conference, we will listen to the opinions and proposals of investors and management agencies of industrial parks and clusters on the views and orientations of the province to absorb and perfect solutions for developing industrial parks and clusters to ensure the management and development of industrial parks and clusters achieve high efficiency. At the conference, investors shared lessons learned in implementing targets and obstacles in the implementation process to attract investment in industrial parks and clusters.

At the conference, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee decided to assign investment targets for the development of 6 industrial parks and 46 industrial clusters in the province in 2025.

In his concluding remarks at the conference, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Pham Anh Tuan thanked and highly appreciated the determination of the leaders of the industrial parks and clusters who accompanied the provincial leaders in the process of implementing investment activities in the province. However, in addition to the achieved results, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Pham Anh Tuan also pointed out the shortcomings such as: some industrial parks and clusters have not complied with the assigned targets, or the implementation is still low;  Investment attraction and promotion work is still limited; technical infrastructure in most industrial parks and clusters is not complete. Inspection and examination have not been carried out regularly and continuously, leading to many arising problems that have not been thoroughly resolved.

Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Pham Anh Tuan gave a speech at the conference

In 2025, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Pham Anh Tuan requested departments, branches, localities and investors to focus on implementing key tasks: Prioritizing investment resources to complete and synchronize infrastructure in industrial parks and industrial clusters to improve competitiveness in attracting investment. Strengthening activities to attract domestic and foreign enterprises to invest in industrial parks and industrial clusters, especially focusing on clean and high-tech industries. Management agencies need to regularly inspect and supervise the implementation of indicators, ensure operational efficiency and compliance with legal regulations.  To continue the growth momentum, agencies are assigned to review planning, complete infrastructure of industrial parks and industrial clusters, reform administrative procedures, and shorten the time for processing documents.

The Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee emphasized that in order to complete the targets, investors in industrial parks and clusters must improve the quality and efficiency of investment; focus on infrastructure investment to welcome the investment wave. In addition, units must develop implementation plans that the province assigns targets, divide them into phases and focus on quarters 1, 2, and 3, not focusing on quarter 4/2025; at the same time, during the process, they must comply with the provisions of the law. It is recommended that the Provincial Economic Zone Management Board create favorable conditions for businesses to operate.

In addition, localities and investors can proactively attract investment or participate in attracting with the province, and at the same time must "follow up" with the focal point if they have identified suitable businesses to invest in their localities and units. In particular, when working, units must aim to build green industrial parks and clusters and apply modern technology because this is a condition for products to be exported to countries around the world.

For localities owning industrial parks and clusters, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee also requested leaders to focus on reviewing and planning to implement the criteria, focusing on the first, second and third quarters; at the same time, continue to transfer the clusters to enterprises for management; localities focus on site clearance and creating conditions to attract investment; resolve all outstanding projects. The province will resolutely handle violations and failure to complete assigned targets.

 The head of the provincial government also noted: "From now on, when choosing investors in industrial parks and clusters, we will focus on two main criteria: finance and the ability to attract and fill. Do not choose investors who make promises and then leave them there. Recently, some industrial parks and clusters that we have worked on have been very effective, filling up as soon as they are built."

Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Pham Anh Tuan also hopes that investors will make more efforts, accompany the province and make breakthroughs to complete the targets to bring the local industry to develop more and more quickly and sustainably, the province's GRDP in 2025 must reach double digits according to the Government's orientation, bringing Binh Dinh and the whole country step by step into the new era of the nation.

On this occasion, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee awarded the decision to reward investors with outstanding achievements in implementing investment and developing industrial parks and clusters in 2024, contributing to the development of the socio-economic sector in the province.
