Germany's GEO Group plans to invest $50 million in establishing a renewable energy workforce training and development center in the central Binh Dinh province, according to a report from the Vietnam News Agency.

The plan was revealed during a working session between Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Pham Anh Tuan, GEO Group President Franz Josef Claes, and representatives of O-DOOR Vietnam on June 18.

The planned center, to be built on a 20-hectare coastal site in Phu My district, aims to become a regional hub for training in wind, solar and green hydrogen technologies.

It will be developed by a joint venture between GEO and O-DOOR Vietnam and is expected to meet international standards, capable of training thousands of technicians annually with GWO (Global Wind Organization) certification.

The center’s training quality will be verified by global certification bodies such as DNV and TÜV, ensuring graduates can work at leading energy firms worldwide or operate local green technology ventures.

In addition to training facilities, the project includes a manufacturing plant to produce components derived from hydrogen-related processes, enabling both research and technology transfer.
