Hai Phong’s Bold Vision to Become The South East Asian Tech Hub

Hai Phong is stepping into a transformative era.

Once known primarily for its role as Northern Vietnam’s logistics and manufacturing gateway, the city is now positioning itself as a leading technology and innovation hub in Southeast Asia, according to the Ministry of Science and Technology at Techfest Hai Phong 2025.

As Hai Phong merges its industrial strength with a rising innovation ecosystem, the city’s demand for modern, sustainable, and technology-ready industrial facilities is set to grow rapidly. This shift aligns closely with Core5 Vietnam’s mission, to provide world-class, LEED-ready industrial solutions that power the region’s evolution from a manufacturing base to a future-focused innovation center.

From Manufacturing Hub to Innovation Powerhouse

At Techfest 2025, officials highlighted four pillars for Hải Phòng’s transformation:

• Institutional and policy breakthroughs.
• Sandbox mechanisms to pilot new technologies.
• Investment in semiconductor, AI, and digital infrastructure.
• Development of high-quality human capital.

With these initiatives, Hai Phong aims to become Vietnam’s national innovation hub and one of Southeast Asia’s leading technology centers.

→ Core5 Vietnam is uniquely positioned to serve this next generation of tenants with its portfolio of modern, LEED-certified ready-built factories in Hải Phòng and Hải Dương — designed for efficiency, flexibility, and sustainability.

Regional Synergy: The Hải Phòng – Hải Dương Merger

The recent administrative merger of Hai Phong and Hai Duong has created a new “super growth region” combining deep-water ports, established manufacturing bases, and expanding technology zones.

This integration strengthens logistics connectivity and creates a unified industrial corridor linking Ha Noi, Hai Phong Port, and economic clusters in the Red River Delta.

For developers, this means larger-scale industrial planning and higher-value investment opportunities. For tenants, it means better access to ports, labor, and infrastructure within a single coordinated region.

Policy Reforms Encourage High-Tech and Green Investment

Vietnam’s national innovation agenda complements Hải Phòng’s local vision. The Ministry of Science and Technology plans to:

• Establish venture capital funds to support startups.
• Create innovation-friendly regulations through sandbox environments.
• Build 100 national innovation centers by 2026.
• Amend laws on intellectual property and technology transfer to ease commercialization.

These reforms will attract both domestic and foreign investment into semiconductors, automation, and renewable energy manufacturing, industries that require smart, ready-to-use industrial facilities with high compliance and efficiency standards.

Building the Foundation for a Smarter Industrial Future

As Hai Phong accelerates its transformation, the line between “industrial zone” and “innovation park” is beginning to blur. Future-ready developments will combine smart logistics, renewable power integration, and digital monitoring systems to enhance operational performance.

This is where Core5 Vietnam’s global expertise makes a measurable difference. Backed by Core5 Industrial Partners, an international leader in logistics and industrial real estate, Core5 Vietnam is delivering premium ready-built solutions that align with both FDI tenants’ operational needs and Vietnam’s sustainable growth priorities.

By bridging industrial infrastructure and technological innovation, Core5 Vietnam supports Hải Phòng’s ambition to evolve into a smart, green, and globally connected manufacturing hub.

Key Takeaway:

Hai Phong’s ambition to become a Southeast Asian technology leader represents a major leap for Northern Vietnam’s economy. As the city’s innovation ecosystem expands, so does the need for sophisticated industrial infrastructure that can host high-tech, sustainable manufacturing.
