11.3. Opportunities for Early Investors
Vinasc Real sees the current time as a golden opportunity for foreign investors:
- Seize the Opportunity for Clean Land: The industrial park expansion plan is creating a large amount of clean land in Quang Yen and Hai Ha. Early investors can negotiate for the best locations and prices in industrial parks that are in the initial stages of infrastructure development.
- Take advantage of incentives: Early investment projects will fully benefit from the highest tax and land lease incentives as stipulated by the coastal economic zone.
- Relationship Building: Vinasc Real ‘s clients are supported in building initial relationships with provincial authorities and the Economic Zone Management Board, making the subsequent licensing process faster and smoother.
Data collected by Vinasc Real:
“Feedback from provincial Investment Promotion Agencies indicates that the number of requests to inquire about land for high-tech projects (over $100 million) has doubled compared to the same period last year. This confirms that, within the next 3-5 years, Quang Ninh will become a major manufacturing industrial center comparable to Hai Phong, leading to a significant increase in future investment costs.”
