VTC Director Phan Sao Nam said the partners include SK Telecom, Dreamline, UniOne and Redman from the Republic of Korea.

Each company will be responsible for one of the fields such as production, distribution, sale, training and marketing, he said, adding that the enterprises will both provide initial investment capital and participate in the park’s operation when it is running.

Besides software production and human resource training, the software park will cover a complex serving the production and sale of digital content services such as software, graphics, telecommunications and communications.

With an area of nearly 150,000sq.m, the VTC complex will include a data centre, an office building, a training centre, an apartment building for staff and a multi-functional gymnasium.

The complex will house a large number of digital content businesses and television programme, software and online game producers. It is expected to generate 10,000 jobs and fetch around US$13-20 million in sales revenue once it becomes operational in 2011.
