Japan Industrial Park (Nomura) - Hai Phong (2024)

Information about the industrial park

Japan Industrial Park in Hai Phong, previously called the Nomura Hai Phong Industrial Park, became the first foreign-invested industrial zone in the North. It has well-built and modern infrastructure, making it a successful industrial zone in the country. It was established on December 23, 1994, through a joint venture between the Hai Phong City People’s Committee and Nomura Financial Group from Japan.

In the proposal submitted on January 12, 2023, the Japan Industrial Park – Hai Phong Development Company requested adjustments to various aspects, including investor information, business registration details, and investment project content. All these adjustments are specifically related to changing the industrial zone’s name from Nomura Industrial Park – Hai Phong to Japan Industrial Park – Hai Phong.

Planning

Covering a total area of 353 hectares, the Japan-Hai Phong Industrial Zone consists of Phase 1, which occupies 153 hectares and received an investment capital of USD 140 million. Phase 1 has almost reached full capacity. Currently, the Japan-Hai Phong Industrial Zone is constructing the infrastructure for Phase 2, spanning 200 hectares. This expansion will provide ample clean land funds for potential investors.

The Japan-Hai Phong Industrial Zone has attracted numerous leading global investors, with significant sources of foreign direct investment (FDI) from Japan, the United States, the EU, and South Korea. Notably, several high-tech projects from Phase 1, such as Robotech, Yazaki, Toyoda Gosei, Toyota Boshoku, Pioneer, and GE, have been operating effectively.
