Solutions for building the High-tech Park Project in Binh Thuan province

On February 13, 2023, the People's Committee of Binh Thuan province issued Plan No. 385/KH-UBND on implementing Plan No. 111-KH/TU, dated November 11, 2022 of the Standing Committee of Binh Thuan Provincial Party Committee on implementing the plan to implement the Prime Minister's conclusion at the working session with key officials of Binh Thuan province.

Accordingly, the Department of Science and Technology is assigned to preside over and coordinate with relevant agencies to research and develop a Project to establish a High-Tech Park, and advise the Provincial People's Committee to submit it to competent authorities in 2023.

According to Decision 792/QD-TTg dated June 8, 2015 of the Prime Minister on the master plan for the development of high-tech zones until 2020 and orientation to 2030, 6 high-tech zones will be formed nationwide. In addition, according to Decision No. 2098/QD-TTg dated December 14, 2021 of the Prime Minister, Ha Nam High-tech Zone will be added to the master plan for the development of high-tech zones until 2020 and orientation to 2030. Implementing Resolution 54-NQ/BCT dated December 10, 2019 of the Politburo on the construction and development of Thua Thien Hue province until 2030, with a vision to 2045, Thua Thien Hue province is also building a project to establish a high-tech zone of the province with an area of about 1,081 hectares.

However, currently, the whole country has only 4 high-tech zones established and put into operation, including: Hoa Lac High-tech Zone, Ho Chi Minh City High-tech Zone, Da Nang High-tech Zone and Dong Nai High-tech Zone specializing in biology. Thereby, it can be seen that the process of forming and building high-tech zones requires a truly specific orientation and is in accordance with relevant legal regulations as well as in accordance with the development of the high-tech sector in the current period. From there, the Department of Science and Technology proposed solutions to build the High-tech Zone Project of Binh Thuan province to ensure meeting the development requirements of the province. First, it is necessary to seriously study the experience of developing high-tech zones at home and abroad, clarifying where the starting point of Binh Thuan province is, what the current conditions are. It is necessary to refer to the experience of localities that have invested in building and implementing the High-tech Zone Project. It is necessary to consult experts, managers as well as businesses and investors in forming and orienting activities, developing infrastructure and fields in the high-tech zone of Binh Thuan province through scientific seminars.

When developing a project, it is necessary to rely on the socio-economic conditions and socio-economic development of the province; potential, advantages, disadvantages and challenges in building the province's High-Tech Park. Legal bases related to project development; Central regulations guiding the conditions, order, procedures, and records for establishing and expanding high-tech parks; It is necessary to determine a specific roadmap for forming Binh Thuan High-Tech Park. Developing high-tech parks, like science and technology, requires resources associated with universities and research institutes; associated with the ecosystem as well as investment institutions, synchronous technical infrastructure; favorable business investment environment, incentive mechanisms and good investment policies. Therefore, when setting out the Project for developing high-tech parks in Binh Thuan, it is necessary to pay attention to building an innovation ecosystem, developing science and technology in the province associated with socio-economic development.

Regarding planning, it is necessary to add Binh Thuan High-Tech Park to the Master Plan for the development of the National High-Tech Park. Planning work should not only focus on solutions to promote the potential and strengths of the province, but also need to have solutions to overcome limitations, even turning disadvantages into advantages. Maximize the potential strengths of the province. In addition, planning work also needs to focus on exploiting regional linkages. Planning for high-tech parks needs to be associated with arranging infrastructure to serve high-tech parks (electricity, domestic water, transportation, healthcare, etc.) to create favorable conditions for experts, workers, and students studying and working in the High-Tech Park, etc.
