Over the last 25 years, the Industrial – Urban – Service model has become a means of assisting Binh Duong in attracting resources and thus investing, accumulating a high-quality technical and social infrastructure that serves as a solid foundation for the transformation of the development model to meet the new requirements of the digital economy and the industrial revolution 4.0. In particular, the industrial sector has increased 140 times, bringing the average per capita income of Binh Duong to nearly 7,000 USD per person per year, boosting Binh Duong to be one of the first localities in the country to become a high-income region.
To highlight these outstanding achievements of Binh Duong Province, on March 25, 2023, the event “Binh Duong: Ignites – Connects – Anew Develops” was organized by the People’s Committee of Binh Duong Province and Becamex Corporation at the Binh Duong Convention and Exhibition Center (BCEC).
The participants included leaders of the national government and 500 delegates from central ministries and departments; leaders of Binh Duong Province and other provinces and cities that have established or plan to establish the Vietnam-Singapore industrial parks; local departments, agencies, organizations, and business communities; schools and research institutions in Binh Duong; consulates general, associations, and both domestic and international business associations.
In the guidance statement at the event, Deputy Prime Minister Le Minh Khai stated that Binh Duong has been succeeding in building a new ecosystem that complements the existing one and is suitable for new requirements from investors and laborers. This reflected the dynamic, sharp, and flexible nature of the provincial government, making the development model of Binh Duong a typical example. Additionally, he mentioned that Binh Duong continues to push for integration and connectivity, capturing new opportunities, creativity in approach, and integrating the construction of many segments on connecting routes such as Belt Road 3, Belt Road 4, and industrial-urban-service development projects. These efforts have helped attract resources both within and outside the country and have accumulated deep and broad development infrastructure for the region.
Furthermore, Mr. Vo Van Minh, Chairman of the People’s Committee of Binh Duong Province, also emphasized the role of the nine existing universities in the new development model, particularly the roles of the Eastern International University, Viet Duc University, and Thu Dau Mot University, with their systems of research rooms, Fablabs, Techlabs, Business Incubators, serving as a platform for researching and developing new production tools. They also serve as an incubator for a scientific working environment, creating conditions to attract skilled labor and gradually transforming the development model according to the directions in the province’s integrated planning in the next phase.
