After nearly 20 years of development, economic zones such as Vung Ang (Ha Tinh), Nghi Son (Thanh Hoa), and Dong Nam (Nghe An), along with industrial parks in the North Central region, have become attractive destinations for both domestic and foreign investors, making significant contributions to local socio-economic growth.

Alongside economic benefits, eco-industrial parks linked with the circular economy carry notable environmental significance. In the context of integration while aiming for the Net Zero goal, this is an inevitable trend and a law of development of the global economy.

With a strong commitment to improving the business and investment environment, Hung Yen Province has emerged as a bright spot in attracting investment, serving as a driving force for socio-economic development and moving toward becoming a modern industrial province.
