Human Resources and Modern Industry: The Foundation for Sustainable Growth

Besides advantages in geography and infrastructure, a high-quality workforce is a decisive factor for manufacturing enterprises in Vietnam to stay competitive.

Ninh Binh and Nam Dinh have long been recognized for their strong industrial traditions and vocational training systems. The presence of universities, colleges, technical institutes, and training centers combined with a young and abundant workforce has created a stable talent pool for industrial parks throughout the region.

Local governments at the same time are actively implementing policies to attract highly skilled professionals, accelerate digital transformation and promote high-tech industries to meet the demands of modern manufacturing. Ninh Binh has identified manufacturing and processing industries as one of the key pillars of its economic strategy, serving as the backbone of the province’s long-term development.

According to the province’s socio-economic report for 2026, Ninh Binh’s GRDP in the first six months of the year reached approximately VND 163.68 trillion, representing a year-on-year increase of 11.44% and ranking second nationwide. This strong economic performance provides an important foundation for further investment in infrastructure, production technologies and workforce development.

Current trends in foreign direct investment (FDI) in Vietnam also indicate a shift from quantitative growth to qualitative growth with increasing emphasis on technology, innovation and automation.

For companies within Charming Group, operating factories in both Ninh Binh and Nam Dinh offers significant advantages in accessing skilled labor, leveraging an increasingly sophisticated industrial ecosystem, and implementing sustainable development strategies over the long term.

As the regional economy continues to expand, the combination of human resources, technological advancement, and management capabilities will become a crucial foundation for enhancing competitiveness and contributing positively to local development and Vietnam’s manufacturing sector as a whole.
