It
also seeks to be among the top 10 software parks in Asia in IT
outsourcing, software development and digital content, Lâm Nguyễn Hải
Long told a ceremony held yesterday to mark its 15th anniversary.
Other
targets include attracting two or three more of the world’s leading IT
firms and having six to eight companies with at least 1,000 engineers
and experts each by 2020, he said.
In
the 2016-17 period QTSC in collaboration with software outsourcing and
export firms would carry out promotions to attract more investors and
foreign partners to Việt Nam, especially from the US and Japan, he said.
Nguyễn
Thiện Nhân, chairman of the Việt Nam Fatherland Front’s Central
Committee, hailed QTSC’s achievements over the past 15 years, when it
grew from 21 small companies and 250 people to 120 IT companies now,
including four global leaders, and more than 7,700 engineers.
They
have created more than 250 products and services and exported to more
than 20 countries, with the US, Japan and the EU being the biggest
markets, he said.
“In
its first year of establishment, revenues were just VNĐ25 billion
(US$1.12 million) and tax payments, VNĐ1.4 billion, but the figures
reached VNĐ5 trillion ($224.2 million) and VNĐ470 billion last year.”
Nguyễn
Thị Thu, deputy chairwoman of the city People’s Committee, said in the
past 15 years the software city has grown into a supplier of IT
infrastructure and services of international standards for research and
development, manufacturing and exports.
It
has been a venue promoting the establishment of new software firms,
providing training for human resources in software and business
management for domestic and foreign firms and exporting quality software
professionals, she said.
IT
is one of the key services the city has prioritised for development,
and to develop the industry, many efforts are required, including
building IT and software parks, she said.
QTSC
would play a leading role in building QTSC 2 and share its experience
with other software parks in its chain, whose establishment the
Government has greenlighted, she said.
“The
city would instruct relevant authorities to resolve the difficulties
faced by QTSC and its tenants to enable them develop and help the city
attract more multinationals and quality human resources,” she said.
She hoped QTSC would increase its software export earnings from over $220 million last year to $1 billion.
The city is set to approve incentives for firms supplying software products domestically, she revealed.
Lê
Mạnh Hà, deputy chairman of the Government Office, said QTSC should
develop software for use in agriculture, transport and public services
in the city and southern provinces.
He said the city should earmark the best locations for scientific research and building another QTSC.
At the ceremony, the park was awarded the Labour Order, First Class, by the Government for its contributions.
A
gala dinner was organised on the same day to honour “the Top
Enterprises of the Year 2015” and launch the Vietnam IT Outsourcing
Alliance to promote the Vietnamese outsourcing and software industries. —
