Doan Hung Industrial Park (Amata City Phu Tho project)

Amata City Phu Tho, also known as Doan Hung Industrial Park, spans 475.67 hectares with a total investment of US$185 million. The project follows key milestones already set out in earlier announcements, from the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding in May 2025 to the receipt of investment approvals in December 2025, leading to its official launch at Thai Connect 2026.

Amata City Phu Tho Project

Positioned as a vital industrial hub in the Northern Gateway of Phu Tho province, Amata City Phu Tho boasts exceptional connectivity. Its direct access to National Road 70 and the Phu Tho – Tuyen Quang Expressway ensures seamless connectivity to the Hanoi – Lao Cai Expressway, drastically reducing freight times to the Lao Cai Border Gate with China, Noi Bai International Airport and seaports. This logistical edge is further amplified by a planned railway linking Lao Cai to Quang Ninh, positioning the park to become the new industrial hub for the Northern Midlands.

The project will be developed in two phases, with Phase 1 covering 239.43 hectares from 2025 to 2029. It is designed to attract high-value industries such as advanced manufacturing, electronics, semiconductors, supporting industries, and clean technology, helping strengthen Phu Tho’s position as an emerging industrial base in Northern Vietnam.
