According to the report submitted by the People's Committee of Binh Duong province to the Government on the establishment of Binh Duong Concentrated Information Technology Park, this Concentrated Information Technology Park is expected to be located in Hoa Phu ward, Thu Dau Mot city, Binh Duong province.

Binh Duong Concentrated Information Technology Park is planned in the first phase with a total area of ​​about 15.47 hectares. Implementation time is from 2024 - 2030.

Binh Duong IT Concentrated Zone is developed on the basis of linking the entire Southeast region, taking advantage of and promoting the potential advantages of the locality to create mutual impact, spreading the development of IT industry for the whole region. This will be the place to focus on developing key areas such as IT, biotechnology, new material technology and environmental technology.
