Saigon Hi-Tech Park

Saigon Hi-Tech Park (SHTP) is a strategic economic-technical zone in Ho Chi Minh City, designed to foster high-tech industry development through foreign investment and domestic innovation. It integrates production, R&D, technology transfer, and human resource training to support Vietnam’s broader goals of industrialisation and modernisation.

By 2030, SHTP aims to become an international hub for science, technology, and innovation, contributing to a green, sustainable economy and acting as the core of innovation clusters in eastern Ho Chi Minh City. By 2045, its vision is to evolve into a “smart innovation hub” with globally competitive infrastructure, supporting smart specialisation, advanced R&D, high-tech exports, and the internationalisation of Vietnamese enterprises.

SHTP is home to global tech leaders such as Intel and Samsung, and prominent Vietnamese firms like FPT and Nanogen, operating across four key sectors: microelectronics–IT–telecommunications, precision mechanics & automation, biotechnology and new energy–materials–nanotechnology.

SHTP emphasizes academic-industry collaboration, partnering with institutions like Ho Chi Minh City National University and supporting initiatives like HEEAP with Intel. It fosters innovation through R&D, patent registration, and development of supporting industries to increase localisation. Key initiatives include: the dual transformation project (digital + green transformation) aiming to make SHTP Vietnam’s first net-zero high-tech park and the semiconductor and microchip industry development program (2025–2030).

Its incubation center has supported 137 startup projects, with notable successes like Gremsy, Vexere, Vsmartek, Ewater Engineering, and Dat Bike. Current incubatees include projects in drones, IoT platforms, agricultural traceability, and green energy storage.
