With the development of the economic zone, starting with these two major projects of Vingroup, Hai Phong aims to become one of the country’s leading economic centers, a strategic trade hub regionally and internationally, and a major port city pioneering industrialization, digital transformation, green transition, and innovation; complete synchronized infrastructure with multimodal connectivity; promote world natural and cultural heritage values; ensure national defense and security; and achieve deep international integration towards becoming a comprehensively developed, sustainable, and worth-living city.

The Tan Trao industrial park project is invested by Vingroup’s Vinhomes Hai Phong Industrial Park Investment JSC. Covering nearly 227 ha in Kien Hung and Nghi Duong communes, the project’s phase 1 investment exceeds 4 trillion VND. Construction is scheduled for five years, from the second quarter of 2025 to the end of the second quarter of 2030.

Once completed, the industrial park will become a major hub for new industries and technologies with modern infrastructure, attracting multi-sector investment such as power, electronics, telecommunications, pharmaceuticals, supporting industries, new materials, clean energy, and renewable energy. Particularly, it will gather tens of thousands of high-quality workers from across the country and internationally. With its scale, location, and synchronized development orientation, Tan Trao industrial park will be one of the new growth engines enhancing Hai Phong’s investment appeal and becoming a model industrial center in Vietnam.
