The People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City has announced plans to implement the Science and Technology Development Program at the High-Tech Park for the period 2025-2030, beginning in 2025.

The initiative aims to strengthen scientific and technological capabilities, fostering innovation at the Saigon Hi-Tech Park (SHTP).

The program will establish key foundations and strategic solutions to support the sustainable development of SHTP, transforming it into a leading hub for science, technology, and innovation, as well as a highly interactive smart urban area in the city's eastern region.

Additionally, the program will enhance mechanisms and policies to promote research, development, and innovation in semiconductor integrated circuits, biotechnology, and dual transformation toward the Net Zero goal.

In 2025, specific objectives include: Completing the implementation plan for the Ho Chi Minh City Microchip Industry Development Program at the High-Tech Park for 2025-2030; developing the Biotechnology Development and Application Program at the High-Tech Park by 2030, with a vision to 2045; and finalizing the Dual Transformation Project, integrating Digital Transformation and Green Transformation, positioning the High-Tech Park as Vietnam’s first net-zero model.

For the 2025-2030 period, SHTP prioritizes the development of key technology sectors, including microelectronics, semiconductors, data centers and artificial intelligence (Data Center & AI Factory), robotics and autonomous equipment (Autonomous), and biotechnology for human healthcare.
