$10M IT PARK TO BE BUILT IN BÌNH ĐỊNH
The TMA Bình Định IT Park will be built at an estimated cost of US$10 million at the Quy Hòa science and education urban area in Quy Nhơn City, the central coastal province of Bình Định, chairman of TMA Solutions Nguyễn Hữu Lệ said.
Within the framework of the 14th Meet Việt Nam programme, Lệ said that the initial investment for the 15.6ha park will focus on software development while additional capital will be poured into developing an innovation and technology transfer centre.
The province granted a licence to the project, he said, hoping that the construction of the park will be completed by 2019. TMA eyes to attract 2,000 labourers in 15 years, with priority given to local students, he said, adding that TMA has joined hands with various universities to prepare human resources for the project.
Last year, TMA Solutions and Bình Định province inked an agreement on software development cooperation. In January 2018, the company got the locality’s nod to survey and set up the TMA Bình Định IT Park project in Quy Nhơn City.
TMA Solutions was established in 1997 to provide quality software outsourcing services to leading companies worldwide. It is one of the largest software outsourcing companies in Việt Nam with 2,000 engineers.
The 14th Meet Việt Nam programme attracted 55 foreign scientists and other delegates, including two Nobel laureates in physics and economics, popularising the image of Việt Nam and its people to international friends. Over the past 25 years, Meet Việt Nam, initiated by Trần Thanh Vân and his spouse Lê Kim Ngọc, has attracted thousands of well-known scientists, including Nobel, Fields and Kavil laureates.
