Three education projects are Thu Dau Mot University, Binh Chuan 2 primary school and An Phu 2 primary school.
Thu Dau Mot University project needs the largest investment of over 4 trillion VND (176 million USD) which can be in the forms of Build-Transfer (BT) or Build-Own-Operate (BOO). Under the project, Thu Dau Mot University will be developed into a multidisciplinary training facility in line with the provincial research orientation.
Among the 15 transport infrastructure projects on the list, the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system connecting the new Binh Duong city with Suoi Tien bus station in Ho Chi Minh City will need 1.96 trillion VND (83.6 million USD).
