The National Scientific Conference on Private Sector Development in Hai Phong is hosted by Hai Phong University, in coordination with relevant organizations.
On the morning of March 27, a National Scientific Workshop on the Development of the Private Economy in Hai Phong in the Era of National Rise was held at Hai Phong University.
The workshop was hosted by Hai Phong University in coordination with the Hai Phong Economic Zone Authority, the Hai Phong Union of Science and Technology Associations, and Phenikaa University.
Mr. Pham Van Thep, Member of the Standing Committee of the Hai Phong Party Committee and Head of the Hai Phong Economic Zone Authority, attended and co-chaired the workshop.
Speaking at the workshop, Mr. Pham Van Thep, Head of the Hai Phong Economic Zone Authority, emphasized that with the spirit of “The success of enterprises is the success of the city,” the authority not only fulfills its role as a state management body but also positions itself as a dedicated “companion” to businesses. Hai Phong, with three economic zones, 45 industrial parks, the city’s Free Trade Zone, along with outstanding and special policy mechanisms, is opening up great opportunities for the private sector to make breakthroughs in the coming years.
The Hai Phong Economic Zone Authority will continue improving the investment and business environment; strengthening the development of enterprise linkage chains and value chains; and promoting connections between FDI enterprises in economic zones and industrial parks with domestic enterprises.
At the same time, it will ensure transparency and openness of information related to planning, land funds, key projects, and the city’s policy mechanisms so that businesses can easily access information and participate in investment. The authority will also support the development of high-quality human resources; promote research, application and transfer of science and technology; foster innovation, digital transformation, and green transition.
The authority will also regularly organize dialogues and closely monitor production and business activities, as well as difficulties, obstacles, and recommendations from enterprises. Through these efforts, it aims to further promote the role of the private sector within industrial parks and economic zones.
The Hai Phong Economic Zone Authority commits to continuing to serve as a “trusted companion” and a solid support for the business community, especially private enterprises, unlocking resources and creating a transparent and modern business environment.
