Hanoi sets sights on hi-tech future

To achieve this goal, it will increase the number of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) operating in support industry to 300 by 2015 and 700 by 2020. 

Once established and put into operation, the SMEs will be able to create high-quality products that meet regional and international standards. 

To make the dream come true, Hanoi authorities will prioritise the development of sectors such as mechanics, electrical equipment, computing devices and high technology. 

In addition to encouraging enterprises to attract foreign investment and apply advanced technologies, the city will offer them opportunities to access preferential capital for their production and business. 

Plans are afoot to train a skilled labour force for enterprises. This year, 100 training courses on business administration will be held for 4,000 entrepreneurs and employees.
