Gia Lai authorities are advancing plans to attract a $500 million data centre investment, positioning the province as a hub for digital infrastructure and high-tech development.

At a meeting on March 27, Phạm Anh Tuấn, Chairman of the Gia Lai Provincial People’s Committee, held talks with Q Digital Co., Ltd. on a proposed data centre project at Nhon Hoi Industrial Park.

The project is planned to cover around five hectares and form part of a broader digital technology ecosystem integrating data infrastructure, artificial intelligence and advanced platforms.

Q Digital’s General Director, Robinson Joshua David, presented the investment proposal, outlining the project’s scale and strategic focus. Discussions also addressed key implementation issues, including the potential establishment of a landing station, survey facilitation and approaches to attract major technology firms to lease services at the facility.

Chairman Tuấn said the province has identified digital infrastructure and high technology as core pillars of its development strategy. He pledged favourable conditions for investors, including streamlined administrative procedures, improved access to land and completed technical infrastructure.

Authorities have reduced the processing time for industrial park projects to approximately 38 days from application submission to construction permit issuance, he added.

The data centre project qualifies for special investment incentives, including support on taxes, land use, workforce training, technology transfer and green transition policies.

Chairman Tuấn urged the investor to develop a detailed five-year implementation roadmap and to integrate renewable and green energy solutions into the project to ensure long-term sustainability.

With an existing power supply of about 5,300 MW and an additional 5,000 MW expected in the near future, Gia Lai said it is well-positioned to support large-scale, energy-intensive projects.
