Potential for industrial development is huge
BR-VT is considered as one of the leading localities in the formation of spearhead industrial models of the country. The province has been recognized as one of the localities with a thriving industry so far. It is BR-VT's determination to continue to attract, seek and call for investors in the fields of manufacturing new industrial products with high content of gray matter and added value. Activities to produce hi-tech industrial products to meet needs of industrial economic development and to take part in export market have been paid much attention to.
There have been shortcomings: development of supporting industries is slow, the infrastructure of industrial parks and clusters has not been developed commensurately with potential, a number of large-scale power investment projects have not been implemented as planned… In addition, issues on mechanism and policies are not adequate and they needs to be removed within the jurisdiction of the province or to be researched for solutions to be proposed to the Government.

It is necessary to carry out industrialization and modernization, not only focusing on industrial or economic development in general, but also on social development, culture, people and human resources”.
In term of orientation to implement industrialization and modernization, BR-VT is interested in developing advantageous and spearhead marine economic sectors such as coastal industry, maritime economy, oil and gas exploitation, aquaculture and mining, fisheries and new marine economic sectors.
