HCM City wants more FDI capital for high-tech sector

Speaking at a meeting with senior managing directors of global MBA program of the University of Southern California on Monday, HCMC vice chairman Le Manh Ha said this is a big concern in FDI attraction now.

In comparison with other localities, the city has more advantages such as high-quality human resources and ready-made production workshops at high-tech and software zones. These facilities are built to lure FDI capital into IT and software projects.

Richard Drobnick, who led the delegation of 30 directors of global MBA program from many countries, said that its members have various interests in investing in Vietnam in general and HCMC in particular.

The directors at the meeting with the city’s leaders learnt about solutions for traffic infrastructure and manpower issues of the city. The delegates also sought information about the city’s incentives to encourage Vietnamese students and people overseas to work for the country.

The delegation also asked for information on living conditions in HCMC such as housing, healthcare and education. They also shared experience on attracting high-quality manpower with local authorities.
