According to the representative of Gia Lai Department of Industry and Trade, the industrial clusters have solved the production space for enterprises and exploited the potential and advantages of raw materials, contributing significantly to the local budget. The province is continuing to call for and prioritize the selection of capable investors, applying modern and environmentally friendly technology to promote the development of industrial clusters.
The locality has also actively and proactively built and issued development policies and mechanisms and implemented well the policy of attracting investment in industrial cluster infrastructure. Currently, 4 clusters have been evaluated by the Council to select investors to build technical infrastructure, including industrial cluster: No. 2 in Dak Doa district; Ia Grai in Ia Grai district; small-scale industry in Mang Yang district and industrial cluster in Dak Po district. These clusters have a total registered investment capital of 1,541 billion VND.
It is worth mentioning that for the first time, the policy of socializing investors in industrial cluster infrastructure has been implemented in Gia Lai and this is the basis for implementation in clusters in the province in the coming time.
On the other hand, the planning of highly connected industrial clusters, especially with national highways, has facilitated the transportation of goods and promoted production and business cooperation. Most of the industrial clusters are located along major national highways such as National Highway 19 (including Dak Doa, Mang Yang, An Khe), National Highway 14 (including Chu Pah, Chu Puh) and National Highway 25 (including Chu Se, Ia Sao-Ayun Pa town), etc.
However, according to the representative of the Department of Industry and Trade of Gia Lai, there are some problems in the current policy on industrial clusters, causing difficulties for the locality in implementation. In particular, Gia Lai is currently having to carry out dual procedures in investment approval, including: Procedures for approving investment policies according to the provisions of the Investment Law and procedures for establishing industrial clusters according to the provisions of Decree 32/2024/ND-CP of the Government on management and development of industrial clusters.
On the other hand, some clusters have not yet been invested in synchronously in technical infrastructure and have not attracted many secondary investment projects. In addition, the time for investors to complete procedures on land, construction, and environment after the Provincial People's Committee decides to assign investors to carry out construction is prolonged, affecting the work of attracting secondary investment.
To overcome these difficulties and at the same time complete the goals according to the Provincial Planning for the period 2021-2030, with a vision to 2050, Gia Lai has 31 industrial clusters, with a total area of about 1,942 hectares. The locality will focus on implementing well the state management and planning management of clusters. Guide localities with the need to establish and expand industrial clusters on the work of selecting investors to build technical infrastructure and establish and expand clusters.
Prioritize the selection of industrial cluster infrastructure investors/secondary investors with financial capacity and experience. Innovate and diversify investment promotion forms in a focused direction, focusing on the province's strengths.
At the same time, synchronously deploy solutions on leadership, direction and operation; investment attraction; good policy mechanism development; solutions on capital support and infrastructure investment; solutions on science and technology, human resource development and environmental protection.
