3. Geographical location
The Da Nang High-Tech Park is located in the northwest of the city center, within Hoa Lien and Hoa Ninh communes (Hoa Vang district). The project is situated on the Da Nang – Dung Quat expressway, connecting key economic zones in Central Vietnam such as Chan May – Lang Co (Thua Thien Hue), Chu Lai (Quang Nam), and Dung Quat (Quang Ngai).
This area boasts significant advantages in transportation infrastructure, with easy access via road, sea, and air. Specifically, it is approximately 22 km from the Da Nang city center, 25 km from Tien Sa Port, and 17 km from Da Nang International Airport.
Thanks to its favorable location and the city’s comprehensive infrastructure and social services, the Da Nang High-Tech Park has effectively utilized its existing conditions to attract investment. As of July 11, 2021, the high-tech zone and industrial parks in the area had attracted a total of 11 domestic and foreign investment projects, including 3 FDI projects with a total registered capital of US$145.3 million and 8 domestic projects with a total registered capital of VND 188.4 billion.
4. Infrastructure system
The Da Nang High-Tech Park boasts a comprehensive and modern infrastructure system, fully meeting the necessary conditions for the production and business activities of enterprises.
Regarding internal transportation, the road system is scientifically planned with a central road axis having a cross-section of 51m, sub-area roads ranging from 22.5m to 33m wide, and internal roads within each functional zone with cross-sections from 8m to 15m. The entire transportation network is designed in a grid pattern, ensuring convenient connections to each plot of land within the park.
For the power supply system, the high-tech park utilizes the Hoa Lien 110/22kV substation with a capacity of 2x63MVA, which is currently operational. The power grid system is fully invested in, ensuring stable power supply to each factory.
Regarding water supply, the main source is the Hoa Lien Water Treatment Plant with a capacity of approximately 240,000 m³/day, ensuring water supply to the boundaries of businesses within the park.
The drainage system is designed to separate wastewater and rainwater. Domestic and industrial wastewater is collected through a separate sewer system and treated at the treatment plants before being discharged into the receiving environment such as rivers and lakes. Meanwhile, rainwater is collected through a separate sewer system and manholes, and discharged directly into the receiving source.
In addition, the high-tech park is equipped with a centralized wastewater treatment system with an area of approximately 2 hectares and a design capacity of 18,000 m³/day, ensuring treatment meets environmental standards (QCVN 40:2011/BTNMT, column B) before discharge.
In terms of communication, the area has developed a modern telecommunications and information technology infrastructure, ensuring stable, high-speed, safe, and secure connections. Internet services are provided by major domestic network operators, effectively meeting the operational and production needs of businesses.
