the distribution of the industry in general and the electronics-informatics industry in particular in
Thai Nguyen province. Processing, synthesizing and analyzing the most typical data, in order to
make comment, objective and scientific assessment of the conditions and situation of development
and distribution of the electronics-informatics industry in Thai Nguyen province.
2.2. Research results
2.2.1. Conditions for development of the electronics-informatics industry
Thai Nguyen has a advantage geographic position in economic exchanges, market expansion
and development of linkages with other economic spaces. As the southern gateway of the
Northern Midlands and Mountains to the Red River Delta, adjacent to Hanoi capital-the major
economic center of the country, Thai Nguyen and some Red River Delta provinces In the
development planning of the metropolitan area of Hanoi, the connection between the province and
these provinces is becoming more and more easy due to the modernization of infrastructure,
especially the formation of highways. These are the potential markets for the products of the
province's electronics-informatics industry and can receive abundant labor resources from other
localities, capital support and production equipment from the developed economies of the
metropolitan region. Moreover, Thai Nguyen is located near the border gates, near Noi Bai
International Airport, Cat Bi, near the largest international seaport in Hai Phong, this will be the
input of raw materials, equipment as well as output for the products of the industry. The
province's transportation convenience is an important factor in attracting investment and locating
industrial production facilities.
With a natural area of 352.6 square kilometer, of which the non-agricultural land area
accounts for 12.7 percents (specialized land 6.3 percents) [4], along with preferential policies in
land rent of local authorities which have created a competitive advantage over localities have
condition to develop but limited land resources and higher land rents in neighboring provinces
such as Bac Giang, Phu Tho and Vinh Phuc.
Thai Nguyen is a populous province. In 2016, the population of the province is 1,246.6
thousand people (accounting for 9.3 percents of the population in the Northern Midlands and
Mountains, ranking 28th out of 63 provinces and cities in the country).
Labor force in the province is quite plentiful, accounting for 61.3 percents of the population,
of which 752.3 thousand people are working in economic sectors (accounting 98.4 percents of
labor force and 60.3 percents population) [4]; The percentage of trained workers is 29.4 percents,
higher than the national average (20.6 percents) and the Northern Midlands and Mountains (17.5
percents). Abundant labor force, young labor is the basic requirement of the electronics-
informatics industry in the current period. With the advantage of being a large training center of
the region, near the capital of Hanoi, the level of labor of the province has been improved to meet
the increasing requirements of labor resources in the new context. Labor can produce in the high
value chain in the product value chain.
In terms of development policy, industry is considered as an important economic sector and
the province's strength. In 2016, industry accounts for 88.7 percents of the province's production
value and nearly 28 percents of the working population [4]. In the planning of industrial
development, the electronics-informatics industry is identified as the first priority sector. Thanks
to the reform policies, attracting positive investment of the province such as simplifying
administrative procedures, business registration, investment approval, investment license with
many innovations, creating advantage conditions for various types of enterprises, industrial
production have been developed, organize many investment promotion programs and give
preferential about land rents. Thai Nguyen has become a bright spot in attracting foreign
investment. In the period 2011-2015 and 2016, with total investment capital of 200.9 trillion dong,

the industrial sector alone accounts for over 80 percents, and the accumulated FDI in 2016 is
6475.2 million USD. Manufacturing and processing industry accounted for 99.6 percents [4],
especially with the attraction of the Samsung project of Samsung Group to lay the foundation for
the development of the province's electronics-informatics industry.
In general, Thai Nguyen has many advantage conditions for the development of the
electronics and informatics industry. At present, and in the coming time, the province needs to
promote these strengths to develop stably and efficiently, helping Thai Nguyen industry to has
new steps in the process of industrialization and modernization. [6]

Electronics-informatics can be considered as the key to the industry in particular. Thai
Nguyen's economy in generally integrated with the world economy, because different from many
other industries this is an industry which attracts mainly foreign investment capital.
The development of electronics-informatics industry in Thai Nguyen is now concentrated in
Yen Binh Industrial Park, Pho Yen Town.
By the end of 2014, the Industrial Park has attracted eight projects with total registered
capital of 2,900 billion dong and 3.42 billion USD, including five FDI domestic projects and three
projects. At present, there are two projects that have been put into operation as SEVT and the
airport complex; three projects have been completed; remaining three projects are taking steps to
invest in construction. Talking about Yen Binh Industrial Park, it is impossible not to mention the
Samsung Hi-Tech Complex project with the investment of over 3 billion USD from Samsung
Group in the fields: research and development of mobile devices. electronic, high-tech and
telecommunication; Producing, assembling, processing all kinds of mobile phones, spare parts and
accessories; Production, assembly and processing of other electronic and telecommunication
products such as wireless internet technology equipment, laptops, smart televisions, digital
cameras...
The strong development of the Samsung Hi-Tech Complex has suddenly increased the value
of industrial production in the province. In particular, with the ability to attract satellite businesses,
the SEVT complex has contributed significantly to the development of supporting industries,
creating a driving force for the electronics-telecommunications industry and related services. In
2015, this complex contributed more than 85 million USD and increased to 160 million USD at
the end of the business income tax exemption period. The economic development of Thai Nguyen
province has benefited not small from this complex. The SEVT complex has attracted nearly
30,000 labors. In 2014, Thai Nguyen led the country with speed up the scale of produce industry
of 135.2 percents rate of employment increase 79.7 percents compare with 2013, this has solved a
considerable part of the province's labor force, improving the quality of life of workers, thereby
also developing human resources, creating a momentum for the development of education in the
high-tech industry [4-6].
Beside the traditional products based on the strengths of the province such as coal, steel, tea,
building brick...the products of electronics-informatics industry are increasing rapidly output and
value. Since 2014, after the Samsung Hi-Tech Complex project went into stable operation and
made product, the output of the industry has continuously increased, from 29.9 million
smartphones, 11.3 million Table TAB in 2014, up to 99.9 million and 24.9 million in 2016
respectively, accounting for 49.8 percents of the country's smartphone [1]. Now those are product
which has export value in the industry of province, while other major industrial products tend to
decrease in output such as coal, rolled steel tea, paperboard...
In 2016, telephone and telephone accessories were the most valuable items in the total export
value of Thai Nguyen province, with nearly 18.7 billion USD, accounting for 97.7 percents, the
growth rate reached 120.3 percents. [4]
Not only bring about high economic efficiency, the development of electronics-informatics
industry also creates high social efficiency with solving a large number of jobs for laborers. Today,
this is also the industry that creats the largest number of jobs in the industry with more than
30,000 employees in the electronics and informatics industry, accounting for 37.3 percents of total
employment in the industry. of the province. Thanks to the reform policies in administrative
procedures, attracting foreign investment capital, preferential land rental price and advantage
conditions for the development of industry in the province of Thai Nguyen. Industrial parks and
industrial cluster have been formed, developed and invested in many big projects, which are the
areas where most of the labor resources in the industrial sector of the province are concentrated,

while also creating great attraction with the labor outside the province, increasing population
mechanics of Thai Nguyen in recent years. With the average income of four to five million
dong/person/month, the quality of life of the employees has been guaranted and improved, which
has shown the social efficiency of this industry has created. Since the Samsung Hi-Tech Complex
has been in operation, the role of Pho Yen town in the industry has increased significantly.
Industrial production value from 2,164.4 billion dong in 2010 increased to 4,766.6 trillion dong in
2016, accounting for 90.4 percents of the total industrial production value of the province, leading
nine districts, towns and cities , which far exceeds that of the Thai Nguyen city, which is
considered to be the industrial center in the past 20.7 times [4].
2.2.3. Orientation for development of electronics-informatics industry
Identifying the role and meaning of the motivation of the electronics and informatics industry
in the industrialization and modernization process, contributing to the development of the
province in the industrial development planning of the Thai Nguyen by 2025, vision to 2030 is to
identify electronics-informatics with the activities of producing blisters, semiconductor
microchips, electronic accessories, electrical equipment together with the mechanical industry as
priority industries leading in development and continues to be the dominant industry in the
industrial structure in modern development tendency of the province. Targets to 2020, the
industrial production value of the machine manufacturing industry, electronics-informatics, metal
processing and mechanical assembling industries will reach 740 trillion dong by 2025 and 1,250
trillion dong by 2020, reaching 1,995 trillion dong by 2030, maintaining a growth rate of over 10
percents. In the industrial structure of the province, the sector accounts for the largest rate, with a
target of 93.5 percents by 2020, 93.6 percents by 2025 and 92.6 percents by 2030.
In order to raise the quality and efficiency produce of the electronics-informatics industry, in
the coming time, to focus on investment and development of the industry according to the
following principal orientations:
- Establishing Industrial Park concentrated information technology center Yen Binh; Quyet
Thang hi-tech park, Quyet Thang software and digital content technology park, with priority
