The Northern Corridor: Electronics and Semiconductors Hub
In the northern corridor encompassing Hanoi, Haiphong, and Bac Ninh, Vietnam is positioning itself as a leading destination for electronics and semiconductor manufacturing. This strategic move is underpinned by the region’s proximity to China’s tech hub in Shenzhen, creating an environment where cross-border supply chains can operate seamlessly with minimal logistical delays. The completion of new expressway phases in late 2025 has significantly reduced transit times to the Chinese border by 40%, a key factor that enhances the attractiveness of this region for high-tech manufacturing.
The Northern Corridor is also seeing significant investments in infrastructure and human capital development, essential components for supporting the advanced technology sectors. This includes the establishment of specialized training programs to equip the local workforce with skills necessary for electronics assembly and semiconductor production. Such initiatives are crucial as they not only meet immediate labor needs but also lay the foundation for sustained growth in these high-value industries.
The Central Corridor: Green Manufacturing Hub
Da Nang and Quang Nam, located within the central corridor of Vietnam, have been earmarked for green manufacturing initiatives. The government is piloting localized renewable energy direct power purchase agreements (DPPAs) in this region to attract environmentally conscious brands from Europe and America that are transitioning away from carbon-intensive regions. By positioning itself as a hub for sustainable manufacturing, Vietnam aims to tap into the growing demand for eco-friendly production methods.
The implementation of these green initiatives is not only about attracting new investments but also about creating a sustainable framework within which manufacturers can operate efficiently while minimizing their environmental footprint. This approach aligns with global trends towards increased corporate social responsibility and environmental stewardship, making the Central Corridor an attractive option for companies looking to comply with stringent ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) standards.
