VietNamNet – A draft programme on Hanoi’s industry development through 2014 sets ambitious goals for assembly, textiles.
 
Electronics and information technology (IT): Hanoi strives to become a national centre for assembly, parts and accessories production, product design, software and IT service. The city will develop the electronics industry in industrial complexes and modern centres, and software parks and electronics industrial zones will be built. The Hanoi authority calls for investment from all local economic sectors and foreign sources in producing accessories and parts and other products supporting manufacturing.
 
Mechanics: Priority will be given to mechanical industries, agriculture and rural development, agricultural and forestry products, machine tool manufacturing and electric equipment. Hanoi will also focus on the mechanical industries in construction equipment, consumer products, health care and laboratory equipment. As these industries will require large investments, Hanoi will seek to set up joint ventures with foreign partners and will cooperate with other provinces to run large-scale projects.

 
Food processing and drinks: Hanoi strives to accelerate export volume, especially in areas where it strong. The city will cooperate with other provinces in the north to develop supply areas that can provide enough material to run Hanoi-based processing plants.
 
Textiles and garments: Hanoi will become the national textile and garment service centre, and the fashion research and design centre, where apparel and high-grade fashion products are made. Hanoi will only focus on high-grade products, made with advanced, environmentally friendly technology. Hanoi’s textile and garment products in the future will include knitwear, face-flannel, ready-made clothes, cotton and synthetic fibre.
 
Construction materials and high-grade interior decoration: Hanoi’s enterprises will focus on research and development of new materials using advanced technologies.
