Hanoi approves plan for 203ha hi-biotech park

According to the approved adjustments, the hi-biotech park will have a land area of more than 203ha, including areas for the resettlement of approximately 1,000 people.

The research area, located in the green belt of the Nhue River, will provide an open space and an ecological park that combines the functions of scientific research and the essential utility of the research environment.

The Hanoi hi-biotechnology park is being funded by Ireland's Pacific Land Limited, with a total investment capital of US$250 million for technical infrastructure, and a number of service buildings, high-rise apartments and dormitories, as well as US$800 million for specialised equipment, such as laboratory investments, research centres and universities.

The park is to be developed into a high-tech, modern economic and scientific zone, serving research, education, development, and the application of experimental production and high technology transfers.
