He highly valued the close cooperation between Eindhoven and Vietnam’s Binh Duong province, an industrial hub in the south of the country, particularly in science – technology, infrastructure development, and education – training, helping the Vietnamese locality obtain important results in smart city building.
The government leader asked North Brabant to expand cooperation with Vietnamese localities in terms of developing hi-tech parks, the Triple Helix model (cooperation among administration, enterprises, and universities/research institutes), smart cities, science – technology, and microchip manufacturing.
Vice Governor Gruijthuisen said North Brabant is ready to share development experience and strengthen ties with Southeast Asia, especially Vietnam – a partner of leading importance of the Netherlands.
Speaking highly of the close links between Eindhoven and Binh Duong, he agreed with his guest’s opinions and affirmed the willingness to continue working closely with Binh Duong and expand relations with other localities of Vietnam.
He also pledged to encourage enterprises of North Brabant to boost investment in Vietnam in the fields they are strong in such as digital transformation, green transition, innovation, and smart city building.

The Brainport Eindhoven is considered the Silicon Valley of Europe, in Eindhoven city.
Talking to Vice Governor of North Brabant Martijn van Gruijthuijsen and other participants, PM Chinh said over the last nearly 50 years, Vietnam and the Netherlands have enjoyed flourishing cooperation in most aspects, including highly fruitful partnerships in climate change fight, between Binh Duong province and Eindhoven city, between the Becamex corporation and Brainport in smart city building, and between An Giang and North Brainport provinces.
There are three models that Vietnam wishes to learn from the Netherlands, namely the airport, seaport, and Brainport models, he said, noting that the Netherlands has turned from an agricultural country into an industrialised one based on innovation and smart services.
He called on the European country to help Vietnam build an innovation and startup centre in Hanoi similar to Brainport Industries Campus in Eindhoven city, from planning, making mechanisms and policies, mobilising resources for centre development, to training and attracting high-quality manpower to the centre.
