Work starts on Da Nang Software Park No 2
The central city of Da Nang on October 10 started construction on the first phase of the Software Park No 2, worth more than VND703 billion (US$30.4 million), in Hai Chau district.
The move forms part of the city’s effort to realise its goal of developing a smart city by 2030 and becoming a smart metropolis, a centre for startups and innovation and a livable coastal city by 2045, as set in the Politburo's resolution 43-NQ/TW.
In his remarks at the ground-breaking ceremony, Vice Chairman of the municipal People’s Committee Ho Ky Minh said the Da Nang Software Park No 2 plays a vital part in developing the local information technology (IT) industry, improve business climate and create a new engine for the city’s socio-economic development.
The 28.6-ha project is scheduled to complete after 690 days. Once operational, it is expected to accommodate about 6,000 workers in the IT and digital technology sectors.
The park will house a 20-storey ICT office building with total internal floor area of more than 26,000 sqm and two 8-storey ICT office blocks with combined internal floor area of nearly 66,500 sqm.
