The project is scheduled to be implemented in the 2024-2025 period, with a total capital outlay of approximately 300-400 million USD.
The industrial park project will cover an estimated area of 650 hectares, while the logistics and urban centre surrounding it will occupy approximately 168.5 hectares.
As per the Thanh Hoa provincial 2021-2030 planning project, with a vision to 2045, approved by the Prime Minister in February this year, the industrial zone in the west of Thanh Hoa city will cover a total of 1,200 hectares. It will be located 11 km west of the city's centre with convenient access to the North-South expressway intersections and Tho Xuan International Airport.
This industrial-urban-service zone will prioritise clean technologies, high-tech applications and urban services, supported by a comprehensive social and technical infrastructure. Japanese businesses, including the Sumitomo Group, are renowned for their expertise in these areas.
During the meeting, Thanh Hoa province's leaders recommended that the Sumitomo Corporation focusses its energies on conducting research and initiating investments to kickstart the project.
This venture represents the Sumitomo Corporation's fifth industrial park investment in Vietnam.
Currently, Japanese investors lead foreign investments in Thanh Hoa province with direct investment capital exceeding 6.6 billion USD, representing almost 46% of the total FDI in the region./.
