Several world leading high-tech companies chose SHTP,[2][3] notably:

  • Japanese Nidec,[4][5] (TSE:65940, NYSE:NJ, hard disk drive motors) with multiple factories under Nidec, Nidec Copal and Nidec Sankyo flagships and total investment of US $500 million for a planned 20,000 workforce,
  • US Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) with US $1 billion registered investment to build the largest chip assembly & test plant in the world,[6]
  • French Air Liquide (EPA:AI), gases for industry, health and the environment,
  • Danish Sonion, miniature and hearing components who employs more than 2,000 workforce in SHTP,
  • US Jabil (NYSE:JBL) electronic supplier,
  • Italian Datalogic (STAR:DAL.MI) bar codes readers.

In total 26 companies were in operations in 2011, employing more than 11,000 employees and a total registered investment of US $2 billions.

This park was aimed at promoting Ho Chi Minh City and Vietnam as a hi-tech investor friendly destination. The new phase is focusing on education, bio-technology, start-up incubators, training centres, software, R&D, telecom. This park is one of two hi-tech parks in Vietnam, the other being Hoa Lac Hi-tech Park situated in the western outskirts of Hanoi near the University of Sciences and Technologies of Hanoi.
