Repositioning Ho Chi Minh City's industry in the context of regional integration and connectivity

The seminar is a multi-dimensional forum connecting the government, businesses and experts to assess the current situation, propose solutions, and identify the driving force for industrial growth in the context of integration and growth model innovation.

Seminar with the theme "Driving force for industrial development in Ho Chi Minh City - From potential to action".

According to Mr. Bui Ta Hoang Vu - Director of the Department of Industry and Trade of Ho Chi Minh City, with the role of economic - industrial and logistics center of the Southern region, Ho Chi Minh City needs to shift from the "geographic aggregation" development model to the value chain integration model according to the center - satellite structure. This is the foundation for forming a new production pole: "Smart, green and deeply integrated into the global supply chain".

The new context after the merger of two key industrial localities, Binh Duong and Ba Ria - Vung Tau, requires the expanded Ho Chi Minh City to reposition its development strategy, effectively exploit its economic scale, population, GRDP and the system of industrial parks, export processing zones and industrial clusters.

Director of Department of Industry and Trade Bui Ta Hoang Vu spoke at the seminar.

Delegates said that, besides advantages such as international logistics infrastructure, advanced production technology platform, high-quality human resources and domestic market potential, there are still challenges in regional linkage institutions, technical infrastructure and development resources.

The discussion focused on establishing development orientations for key industries, building a science and technology ecosystem, promoting creative industries, platform industries, smart logistics and sustainable growth models.
