It also helps promote the domestic pharmaceutical and health care markets, as well as research and development work in the sector.

He urged Hoa Lac Hi-tech Park and the RoK’s Gyeongbuk Hi-tech Park to introduce their incentives for investors in the sci-tech sector.

Jang Hyo-jun from the Gyongbuk Hi-tech Park introduced to participants the park’s potential and incentives for investors.

He also highlighted several sectors that draw interest from the participating RoK enterprises, including bio-medicine, cosmetics, dentistry and rehabilitation.

Nguyen Trung Quynh from the Hoa Lac Hi-tech Park Management Board said the park aims to lure more sci-tech enterprises from the RoK, as the country is one of the biggest investors in Vietnam.

During the occasion, Vietnam’s Thang Long Medical Equipment JSC and Korea’s Wonbigen Company signed a memorandum of understanding on fostering bilateral cooperation and mutual support.
