It aims to become a regional economic center and a strategic growth engine for Central Vietnam and the nation in the context of a new development phase.
The long-term goal is to build the Da Nang Free Trade Zone into a vital link in the global and Asia-Pacific supply chain network; a manufacturing hub and international cargo transshipment center connected with Lien Chieu Port, Da Nang International Airport, and the East-West Economic Corridor. It will contribute to the development of high-tech industries, innovation, and digital transformation, making a positive impact on the economic restructuring of the new Da Nang City after the merger with Quang Nam Province toward sustainability and deeper international integration.
In addition, the development of the Da Nang Free Trade Zone will be associated with the establishment of an international financial center in Da Nang City, forming a modern, smart, and highly competitive economic ecosystem. This will create significant spillover effects, contributing to enhancing Vietnam’s position in the region and globally in the context of globalization.
