Hue Plans 1,081-Hectare High-Tech Park, Advances Three Technology Projects
Hue plans a 1,081-hectare high-tech park, with the proposal still awaiting approval from the city People’s Committee. It is also advancing three data and software projects with expected total investment of more than VND 4.5 trillion, alongside an innovation and startup center. Land preparation, infrastructure and attracting investors remain priorities.
On the afternoon of November 13, the chair of the Hue City People’s Committee inspected land earmarked for technology development and reviewed progress on key projects. Hue plans a 1,081-hectare high-tech park for high-tech research and applications, business incubation, workforce training and pilot production. The plan has been approved by the city Party Committee’s Executive Committee but is still awaiting review and approval by the city People’s Committee.
The park would prioritize artificial intelligence, cloud computing, biotechnology, biomedicine, new materials and advanced manufacturing technologies. Hue has called for a review of current land use, a clear project scope and plans for road and electricity connections. It is also studying how to prepare suitable plots first so investors can access the sites.

Hue is also advancing three data and software projects with expected total investment of more than VND 4.5 trillion. A digital data center, with investment of about VND 274 billion, is scheduled to break ground in the fourth quarter of 2026. A concentrated digital technology park, with expected investment of VND 2.452 trillion, is scheduled to break ground in the fourth quarter of 2027; SMC Hue Co., Ltd. has expressed interest in investing. A technology and software production park, with expected investment of more than VND 1.777 trillion, is scheduled to break ground in the third quarter of 2027; FPT Group has expressed interest. All three groundbreaking dates are planned schedules.
The accompanying Hue City Innovation and Startup Center has total investment of VND 120 billion. Its six-story building will have about 6,220 square meters of floor space. To date, construction work has reached about 77.8% of its contract value, while the specialized equipment procurement package has been delayed because documentation for some equipment is incomplete. The project is expected to be inspected and handed over in the second quarter of 2027. It is intended to support incubation, training and commercialization of scientific and technological results.

Hue has also called on relevant agencies to strengthen data sharing and coordination. It is considering converting the Information Technology Center into a Digital Technology Center, with expanded responsibilities for digital transformation and data applications. The city government has directed departments to review each project’s procedures, progress and obstacles, and to advance infrastructure development and efforts to attract investors.
