Vinh Phuc to host green industrial zone solutions forum
Green and eco-industrial zones are becoming a key selection criterion for investors.
Vinh Phuc province, in collaboration with the Vietnam Industrial Park Finance Association (VIPFA), will host a Comprehensive Green Industrial Zone Solutions Forum and Investment Promotion event on December 8-9.
The forum is expected to draw approximately 300 delegates, including representatives from Government agencies, provincial leaders, international organizations, and domestic and foreign businesses in the fields of industrial park infrastructure, logistics, wastewater treatment, and smart industrial park services.
Discussions at the event will focus on high-quality investment projects aligned with the development of eco-industrial zones in the northern province, as well as exploring international trends and experiences in attracting high-quality investment.
There will be side events including a golf tournament, site visits to industrial parks, investment certificate awards for businesses, and an exhibition showcasing products, services, and the province's potential and strengths.
According to Dr. Phan Huu Thang, Chairman of VIPFA and former Director General of the Foreign Investment Agency (Ministry of Planning and Investment), green and eco-industrial zones are becoming a key selection criterion for investors.
High-quality foreign direct investment is primarily focused on green and eco-industrial zones, he said. This trend necessitates a transformation of Vietnam's industrial parks to compete with other countries in the region for high-quality investment.
“Green and eco-industrial zones are becoming a key selection criterion for foreign investors aiming for sustainable development, aligning with ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) criteria demanded by industry supply chains. Therefore, Vietnam's industrial parks must prepare for this shift,” Dr. Thang emphasized.
