VietNamNet Bridge – The Prime Minister has given the nod to a project to develop a high-biotechnology park covering 207.8 hectares in the southern province of Dong Nai, the Government Office announced.

The Dong Nai high-biotechnology park in Cam My District will carry out research, incubation, application and transfer of biotechnology. It will also develop human resources, support hi-tech startups, manufacture and sell hi-tech products, and provide hi-biotech services.

The government of Dong Nai is told to collaborate with the Ministry of Science and Technology to prepare operation regulations for the park for submission to the Government for approval, and introduce policies to attract investors.

Dong Nai is in charge of assessing and approving the master zoning plan for the high-biotechnology park, supervising construction work and managing the project when it is put into use. The province is also responsible for establishing a management board and appointing a board leader for the hi-biotech park.

In June last year, the Prime Minister approved a master zoning plan for hi-tech parks in the country by 2020 with a vision to 2030. Accordingly, provinces and cities will develop a number of hi-tech parks using their budgets and other resources.

The plan aims at attracting investments in hi-tech projects and bolstering the sector’s development.

Dong Nai’s hi-biotechnology park is among the hi-tech projects approved by the Government. A hi-biotechnology park in Hanoi and the Ascendas-Protrade hi-tech park in the southern province of Binh Duong Province have got approval.
