Hai Phong aims to have around 87,000 active enterprises by 2030.

The Standing Committee of the Hai Phong Party Committee has issued Action Program No. 21 to implement Resolution No. 41 dated October 10, 2023 of the Politburo on building and promoting the role of Vietnamese entrepreneurs in the new era.
The program sets the goal of developing Hai Phong’s entrepreneurial community comprehensively in terms of quantity, quality, and structure; with political courage, intelligence, ethics, business culture, and advanced governance capacity; while ensuring legal compliance and social responsibility, thereby making important contributions to the city’s rapid and sustainable development.
The city aims to have around 87,000 active enterprises by 2030, with more than 85% of entrepreneurs holding college or university degrees or higher.
Private-sector enterprises in the city are expected to account for 3.5–4% of the Top 500 largest private enterprises in Vietnam (equivalent to 18–20 enterprises), including at least two enterprises ranked among the Top 100 largest private enterprises nationwide.
Hai Phong also strives to develop enterprises with regional stature and national brands, as well as major enterprises capable of leading key industries and participating deeply in global value chains.
Looking ahead to 2045, the city envisions an entrepreneurial community with the scale, capacity, and qualifications needed to meet high-income development goals and gain prestige both domestically and internationally. Some enterprises are expected to build global brands and lead international supply and value chains.
To achieve these goals, the program outlines seven major groups of tasks and solutions.
These include raising awareness of the role and position of entrepreneurs in the city’s development goals; strengthening communication, dialogue, and recognition of outstanding entrepreneurs; and building a positive media environment that supports businesses.
The city will continue improving mechanisms and policies, enhancing the investment and business environment toward greater transparency, convenience, and fairness, while accelerating administrative reforms to support enterprise development.
The program also emphasizes training and capacity building for entrepreneurs in modern governance, digital transformation, green transformation, and international integration, while helping businesses effectively leverage free trade agreements (FTAs).
Attention will also be given to promoting business ethics and culture, fostering patriotism, social responsibility, and environmental awareness, and building the image of Hai Phong entrepreneurs as dynamic and responsible.
In addition, the program highlights the importance of strengthening links between entrepreneurs, workers, farmers, and intellectuals; building harmonious and stable labor relations; and promoting the strength of national unity.
It also calls for enhancing the leadership role of the Party and the effectiveness of state management; developing Party and mass organizations within enterprises; and reforming governance methods toward better serving businesses and citizens.
The program sets out 34 key tasks under seven groups of solutions, assigning clear responsibilities to each agency, organization, and unit.
The Standing Committee of the City Party Committee requires the implementation of the action program to follow the principle of the “six clarities”: clear people, clear tasks, clear timelines, clear responsibilities, clear outputs, and clear authority, combined with inspection, supervision, and evaluation mechanisms.
Party committees, agencies, and units are required to develop specific plans and implement them in a synchronized manner, while strengthening monitoring, supervision, and the timely resolution of difficulties and obstacles.
The issuance of this action program is considered an important step in concretizing the Party’s policies, contributing to the development of a strong Hai Phong entrepreneurial community that can play a pioneering role in economic development and support the city’s goal of becoming a modern industrial and service center with sustainable development in the new era.
