Evidence snapshot for Ho Chi Minh City
Ho Chi Minh City has developed into a major technology hub anchored by two flagship software and high-tech parks. Quang Trung Software City, Vietnam's first software park established in 1999–2001, hosts 121 IT enterprises at 90% occupancy with ~22,000 employees and students, generating cumulative revenue of US$6 billion including US$4.35 billion in exports over 25 years. Saigon Hi-Tech Park, Vietnam's first high-tech zone established in 2002, has grown to 160 active projects with US$12.3 billion in committed capital, 52,000+ workers, and US$20.7 billion in high-tech exports in 2024 alone, though both parks' performance figures are self-reported by park authorities rather than independently audited, and neither publishes workforce disaggregation by gender, disability, or income.
