High occupancy rates

According to the Department of Industry and Trade, the province currently has 67 out of 96 industrial clusters in operation, covering a total area of 2,269 hectares.

The occupancy rate of the operating clusters is about 73.4%, providing employment for over 58,000 workers. Among these, many clusters are strategically located, connected to key industrial zones, and highly integrated regionally, making them attractive to investors.

A notable example is the Viet Nhat Industrial Cluster in Xuan Cam commune, spanning 50 hectares.

This cluster has convenient connections to Hanoi and Thai Nguyen, and once the infrastructure was ready, investors quickly registered, filling the cluster with industries such as mechanical engineering, precision machinery, electronics assembly, and high-tech products.

Currently, many secondary investors are interested in leasing land here, but land is limited. The developer is proposing to expand the cluster’s scale.

Most enterprises investing in industrial clusters are small and medium-sized, aligning with the province’s strategy to diversify industries. Based on reviews, Bac Ninh will continue planning and expanding certain industrial clusters in the coming period.

To meet enterprise investment needs, a series of industrial zones are being developed.

To date, the province has 38 industrial zones with investment policies and infrastructure developers approved, covering a total area of about 11,300 hectares and an occupancy rate of nearly 55%.

Several zones are currently under construction, including Quang Chau 2 in Nenh ward, My Thai in My Thai commune, Phuc Son in Quang Trung commune, Que Vo Phase 2 in Phu Lang commune, and Minh Duc – Thuong Lan – Ngoc Thien. Even though many zones are not yet fully completed, numerous enterprises have already registered for investment.

According to the provincial plan for 2021–2030, with a vision to 2050 approved by the Prime Minister and adjusted by the provincial People’s Committee, by 2030 Bac Ninh will have 52 industrial zones covering more than 16,000 hectares.

Bac Ninh identifies industry as a key sector driving economic growth. With many breakthrough policies and plans, the province is gradually positioning itself on the global semiconductor map, becoming a major regional hub for chip packaging and testing, and aiming to become a leading semiconductor industrial centre in Vietnam.

To achieve this goal, alongside promoting production linkages and developing domestic industry, the province emphasises green transition and smart manufacturing for sustainable industrial development with the principles of “1 no, 2 minimums, 3 highs” (no pollution; using minimum land and minimum labour; high technology, high investment efficiency, high economic efficiency) and “4 readiness” (land, human resources, improved investment environment, investor support) toward a sustainable “industrial ecosystem” involving domestic enterprises.

Many major corporations have chosen Bac Ninh as a key production hub to expand their investments, affirming the province’s growing role in the global high-tech production supply chain.

According to Dinh Nam Thang, deputy head of the Bac Ninh Industrial Zones Authority, the unit has established a support team to assist enterprises, focusing on resolving infrastructure investment issues within industrial zones.

Bac Ninh is currently one of the most attractive provinces for industrial investment due to its geographic advantages, transport infrastructure, and investment environment.

Recently, the province has continued to expand the industrial real estate supply by launching new industrial zones, creating additional production land for incoming investment capital.

Logistics infrastructure projects are also being accelerated, enhancing goods transshipment capacity and completing the supply chain for industrial zones and clusters.
