Speaking at the 12th annual anniversary ceremony of the park held on
Friday, Dr Le Hoai Quoc, head of SHTP’s management board, said nearly 40
per cent of the staff at enterprises in the park were college and
university graduates.
He said the value of products turned out by tenants in the SHTP in
the past 12 years had exceeded $9 billion. Most of these products were
for export.
However, the value of materials, components and equipment imported
for operation of the manufacturers in SHTP over the same period amounted
to over $8 bilion.
Quoc said from now till 2020, SHTP would focus on efforts to attract
hi-tech enterprises and raise the localisation rate of products, aiming
to turn the park into the most powerful hi-tech park in Viet Nam.
Also speaking at the ceremony, the deputy chairman of HCM City
People’s Committee, Le Manh Ha, said that, with total capital
mobilisation of $1.8 billion, accounting for nearly two-thirds of total
capital registered in HCM City over the same period, this year marked a
milestone in the development of SHTP.
He said the investments made by hi-tech groups in the park also
indicated the potential for scientific and technological development in
HCM City.
