HÀ NỘI The Hà Nội People’s Committee has approved the establishment of Đông La Industrial Cluster (IC) and the second phase of Dương Liễu IC in the city’s Hoài Đức District.

The committee has directed Hoài Đức District People's Committee to select investors with sufficient financial capacity to develop technical infrastructure of the two ICs.

Meanwhile, the city Department of Industry is responsible for appraising documents related to IC development and submitting them to the municipal People's Committee.

Local authorities have made great efforts to attract foreign and domestic enterprises to ICs over the years.
The city is now home to 70 operational ICs, covering more than 1,680ha, with a total of 3,864 businesses. These firms have created 60,000 local jobs thus far.
The city is expected to have 159 ICs spanning more than 3,200ha by 2030.
By the end of this year, there is hoped to be 138 ICs with an area of more than 2,620ha in the city. Of these, 52 would be newly established complexes, covering 590ha.
In the 2021 to 2030 period, five existing ICs will be expanded and 21 new ones covering 536ha will be established.
According to the plan, industrial complexes located in five northern districts - Sóc Sơn, Mê Linh, Đông Anh, Long Biên and Gia Lâm - will give priority to several sectors, including electronics and information technology, engineering, automotive, and production of new materials, as well as pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.
Industrial complexes in the two southern districts of Thường Tín and Phú Xuyên will focus on luring projects in high-tech farming and supporting industries, especially those serving the textile and garment, footwear, mechanical engineering and electronics sectors.
Meanwhile, those in the western areas of the city, such as Hòa Lạc, Xuân Mai and Miếu Môn, will be involved in bio-industries for agriculture, hi-tech industries, construction materials and high-end furniture production. -- VNS
