Da Nang economic development push

Entities: Da Nang · Điện Bàn Bắc ward · Ho Kỳ Minh · Hòa Ninh industrial park · Vietnam

Overview

After the Frontier AI & Local Zones Innovation conference in mid‑July 2026, Da Nang rolled out a free‑trade‑zone framework that streamlines 34 import‑export procedures, aiming to cut costs and lure high‑value investors. The People’s Committee swiftly approved a $138 million Vietnam‑Singapore Industrial Park (VSIP) on 25 July, setting a 57‑day timeline for legal preparation, land acquisition, construction and operation through 2031, with tenant marketing slated to start in Q3 2028. Parallel initiatives include a hotel‑tourism technology forum in August, DHL’s logistics campus, the planned reopening of Lien Khuong International Airport and marine‑economy projects in Dak Lak, all intended to position Da Nang as a diversified, high‑quality hub. On 29 July the city broke ground on the Hòa Ninh eco‑industrial park, a 400‑ha, 6.2‑trillion‑dong (≈ US$265 million) investment led by Thanh Bình Phú Mỹ Joint Stock Company. Designed as an eco‑industrial, multi‑sector zone, the park will operate under a 50‑year state lease near the Liên Chiểu deep‑water port, Da Nang International Airport and the city’s high‑tech and financial districts. When fully operational, it is expected to host high‑technology firms, serve as a modern logistics hub, and generate more than 12 000 direct jobs, further boosting industrial growth and municipal revenue. The city also approved a major upgrade of Da Nang International Airport’s main terminal. The VND 11 trillion project will rebuild Terminal 1, enlarging its floor area to about 165,000 m² and raising passenger capacity to 14 million annually. Construction, financed entirely by the investor and led by Vietnam Airports Corporation, is scheduled to begin in August 2027 with operations slated for 2029. Forecasts anticipate the airport handling 25 million passengers by 2030 and 30 million by 2050, strengthening connectivity for business, tourism and logistics.
