Hai Phong removes land bottlenecks to help SMEs break through
When having stable land premises, many small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Hai Phong will boldly invest in technology, improve production capacity, and increase opportunities to participate more deeply in the global supply chain.
Established in 2018 with five founding members, after several expansions, Gia Nghia CNC Production and Trading JSC. in Vinh Thuan commune, Hai Phong city now has 110 employers and employees.
The enterprise operates in the field of manufacturing, installation, and inspection of fireproof doors with an average annual revenue growth rate of 30 - 40%. Notably, beyond conquering the domestic market, several foreign-invested enterprises operating in the field of industrial real estate in industrial parks such as Deep C, An Duong, and Japan - Hai Phong have become its regular partners.
With steady growth, the enterprise aims to further expand its premises and increase production capacity. However, according to Cao Tri Cuoi, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the company, to achieve this goal, the enterprise wishes to rent stable land, from 1 to 2 ha, to build a factory and upgrade modern technology lines that meet Vietnamese and international standards, with an eye toward export in the future.
According to the Hai Phong People’s Committee, by September 30, the entire city had more than 45,100 active enterprises, mostly SMEs, with total registered capital exceeding 9.7 quadrillion VND.
Recognizing SMEs as a strategic force, the city Party Committee has issued an action plan specifying tasks and timelines. For example, in the third quarter of 2025, the city must complete the review of unused or underused public assets (land and houses) to lease to SMEs, businesses in supporting industries, and innovative enterprises for production and business.
In the fourth quarter of 2025, the city must complete digital transformation tasks to provide full online public services for land-related administrative procedures, reducing processing time for land lease and land use right certification by at least 30% for citizens and enterprises.
The city will issue regulations on principles, criteria, and support norms for investment, and determine land areas for infrastructure investment in industrial parks, industrial clusters, and technology incubators reserved for high-tech enterprises in the private sector, SMEs, and start-ups for lease or sublease.
Secretary of the city Party Committee Le Tien Chau required that in 2026, the city must complete the review, prepare lists, and regularly update areas of land inside and outside industrial parks that need investors to implement projects according to planning, and publicly post them on the city’s e-portal to create equal access to land for all investors.
Along with the support of the city authorities, some industrial real estate investors have also taken specific actions to help remove land barriers for SMEs.
Most recently, Vingroup’s Vinhomes Hai Phong Industrial Park Investment JSC., the investor of Tan Trao industrial park (commenced at the end of September 2025), committed to allocate at least 5 ha of land in this industrial park to SMEs, enterprises in supporting industries, and innovative businesses.
It can be said that removing land bottlenecks not only helps SMEs stably develop but also opens up great opportunities, driving the private sector to break through and contributing to the city’s high growth goals in the coming time.
