Quang Trung Software City

Quang Trung Software City (QTSC) is the first and largest software park in Vietnam, founded on March 16, 2011 and has a total area of 43 hectares as originally designed. As of present, QTSC has attracted around 157 IT companies, five of whom employ more than 1,000 people. QTSC now has 20 office buildings, five IT training centers, four bank transaction offices, and 20 parking lots. The software city also boasts a wide range of on-site amenities like apartments for experts, dormitories, underground power lines, and wastewater treatment system, a kindergarten, a healthcare center, an incubator, and a business support center. QTSC is now home to about 20,755 workers and students. In the transformation stage from a local software park into a smart city model, QTSC has made the most of the companies' strengths to develop the Integrated Operation Centre which uses Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to manage and monitor the park. QTSC has also built a specialized area to research and develop new products and solutions ( QTSC R&D Labs ). QTSC R&D Labs was established to create a public space for research and development, supporting enterprises in their research as well as attracting many leading experts to work at QTSC. The application of the smart urban model at QTSC is a long-term process and is one of the primary objectives that will turn QTSC into a leading software city in Asia.
