On June 19, the Department of Industry (Vietnam Ministry of Industry and Trade) collaborated with the International Financial Corporation (IFC) of the World Bank Group, with funding from the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) and the Swiss Federal Economic Office (SECO) organized the “Opening Ceremony of the Database System of Vietnam’s processing, manufacturing and supporting industries” and put the Supporting Industry Portal into operation.
This system is intended to support the provision of adequate information about enterprises for organizations and individuals wishing to search, connect and trade; It provides foreign-invested enterprises (FDI enterprises) with an overview of production capacity, supply capability, product quality and technology of Vietnamese manufacturing enterprises, as the same time, enhancing connectivity between Vietnamese enterprises and FDI enterprises and investors.
Supporting industries are industries that produce raw materials, accessories, spare parts, and semi-finished products to supply the manufacturing, processing and assembling industry of finished products being production materials manufacturing or consumer products.
Vietnam’s supporting industry is growing and playing an important role in participating in the global supply chain and value chain. Large foreign companies and corporations have established many company manufacturing, processing and assembling factories in Vietnam. In 2019, the whole country has 3,478 new projects, with a total capital of nearly 31.8 billion USD; in which, processing and manufacturing industry accounted for the highest proportion with a total capital of 21.6 billion USD, accounting for 67.8% of total registered investment capital. This demonstrates the expectation of FDI enterprises to reduce transportation costs and risks, so it will create great opportunities for domestic parts suppliers to develop production.
According to data on the Enterprise Information Database system, Vietnam now has 500 enterprises in the field of mechanical engineering, 347 enterprises in the field of automobiles, 750 enterprises in the field of electricity, 1,145 enterprises in the textile sector and 910 enterprises in the footwear sector.
The database system of manufacturing, processing and supporting industries is an important milestone in addressing the need to establish a domestic B2B connection network with foreign countries, helping enterprises and investors finding information quickly, accurately, meeting the needs of investment connection, enhancing cooperation opportunities between Vietnamese enterprises and FDI enterprises and multinational corporations.
In the future, the government will continue to support resources and finance to improve the qualifications of the database system management staff, expand the data information of many industries and continue to develop new features that allow enterprises to create their own booths to introduce products, proceed to establish an e-commerce platform for the processing, manufacturing and supporting industries, help enterprises proactively approach and promote cooperation, contribute to the development of Vietnam’s industry in the future.
