- Progress on VND 2,806 billion industrial park project, creating tens of thousands of jobs, located in Vietnam's youngest centrally run city
The Song Mai – Nghĩa Trung industrial park project in Bắc Ninh covers 197.1 hectares with total investment of VND 2,806 billion and broke ground in August 2025. By 11 September, site clearance and technical infrastructure for 50 hectares in phase 1 were complete, along with a wastewater treatment system with capacity of 6,000 cubic metres per day. The project still faces difficulties clearing the remaining land, as some households have not agreed to compensation plans, and land-use right certificates for the completed 50 hectares remain unresolved, which hampers attracting secondary investors. Bắc Ninh city Party Secretary Nguyễn Hồng Thái urged an eco-friendly, circular development model, prioritizing high-tech firms and rooftop solar power, and faster site clearance. Once operational, the park is expected to create tens of thousands of jobs.

- Ending import dependence, Vietnam masters a key technology and manufactures products for domestic demand
The Ministry of Science and Technology says Vietnam has mastered technologies and manufactured several industrial support products that replace imports, including two special steel grades, Duplex and Superduplex, sintered welding flux, WC-Co hard alloy for rock drill bits, flame-retardant fabric and phylon shoe soles. The products are said to match imported goods in quality and are made from domestic raw materials. However, most research results have so far remained small-scale. The ministry argues that science and technology should be tied to the real technology needs of enterprises, covering transfer, absorption, improvement, commercialization and scale-up, with leading enterprises acting as the core of the supply chain.
