The southern province of Soc Trang on March 22 held a press conference to promote the municipal investment promotion conference to be held in late April.

About 500 delegates, including 300 investors, are expected to take part in the upcoming conference, while a Start-Up Week will also be organised around that time.

Soc Trang Province has called for investment in 88 projects. At least 47 of them, focusing on renewable energy, wind power, solar power and tourism, have already received investment, but at the conference will receive official project documents.

Activities encouraging information exchange between experts will be held one day prior to the event, Sals said.

He added that the province has advantages, including a favourable location and orderly traffic system, as well as a large amount of land used to build industrial sites and develop wind and solar power projects.

The province also has potential to promote ecotourism. — VNS
