Remove obstacles to promote high-tech garden
The Ministry of Science and Technology will consult with the Government to remove barriers to decentralization, convenience stores… to promote the operation of high-tech parks in Vietnam.
On the morning of March 24, at the seminar “Models, mechanisms and policies for promoting the development of Vietnam’s high-tech zone” organized by the Ministry of Science and Technology in Ho Chi Minh City, Minister Huynh Thanh Dat said that the Ministry of Science and Technology is finalizing the draft Presidential Decree 99 which regulate high-tech areas to immediately seek the Government’s opinion.
The design focuses on solving many problems in terms of procedures for establishing and expanding a high-tech park, organizational structure, authority, authorization issues, criteria for attracting business, etc. This adjustment aims to create a more profitable legal corridor, promoting the construction and development of hi-tech parks in the context of the many changes to the law since the High Technology Act was introduced in 2008.

The leaders of the Ministry of Science and Technology admit that in fact the state management in high-tech parks is very broad, the scope of which regulates many different laws, so there are still many problems that cannot be solved in one decision.
Minister Dat repeated Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh’s words that on new issues, which have not been regulated or have transcended reality, it is necessary to dare to adapt, learn from experience at the same time, and not be a perfectionist. In this spirit, the Ministry of Science and Technology proposes to the Prime Minister to strengthen decentralization and decentralization for hi-tech localities and zones to implement OSS mechanisms, mechanisms and policies to promote investment in industrial estate development. . Thus, businesses are allowed to invest in infrastructure systems and manage and operate high-tech parks.
He admits, to form a high-tech park ecosystem, three important components are needed, including laboratories, companies, and business support systems.
Previously, Mr. Nguyen Anh Thi, Head of the Ho Chi Minh City High-Tech Park Management Agency (SHTP) had mentioned the problem of the OSS mechanism. He said that in the past, the legal procedure for companies to invest in high-tech parks was carried out in one focus unit, the Management Board. However, when specific laws change, companies have to go through licensing procedures in many departments such as planning, construction, environment, etc., which take a long time for projects to complete procedures and run them.
“The one-stop-shop mechanism plays a very important role in creating a favorable investment environment for businesses. Therefore, it is necessary to change the regulations so that procedures are reduced to a single focal point, creating better business conditions. career,” said Mr. Thi.
Another problem arises about the decentralization mechanism, said Mr Dam Bach Duong, Director of the Department of High Technology, Ministry of Science and Technology, regarding the policy of setting up hi-tech parks under the approval of Prime Minister Browser. However, the remaining administrative procedures need to be submitted to the regions for faster processing. “This matter will be studied by us to amend the law on high technology in the near future,” Duong said.
From a local perspective, Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee Chairman Phan Van Mai said that in order to create a high-tech park operation mechanism, many laws need to be revised and it is difficult to complete within the timeframe until 2025. Ho Chi Minh City leaders asked the Ministry of Science and Technology to propose to the Government to submit to the National Assembly a testing mechanism for the policy of developing a high-tech zone at the earliest and pass a resolution on this matter.
“Ho Chi Minh City in its powers and responsibilities will join forces with the local Ministry of Science and Technology to share in policy proposals for high-tech parks,” said Mr. Mai.
Vietnam currently has 4 hi-tech parks including: Hoa Lac Hi-tech Park (Hanoi), Ho Chi Minh City Hi-Tech Park, Da Nang Hi-Tech Park and Industrial Parks, and Dong Nai Biotechnology Park. Currently, the city of Can Tho and the province of Ha Nam have projects to build a high-tech park and are awaiting approval from the competent authorities.
The high-tech garden model is designed to create an environment for attracting domestic and international investment, incubating, researching and transferring technology, training human resources, etc. to serve the socio-economic development of regions, regions and the whole country.
