The most prominent project so far in SHTP has been the manufacturing of a bicycle using 3D Printing technology by Arevo Co. This innovative bicycle, named SuperStrata, is made from continuous carbon fiber and is highly welcomed in the US. Thanks to the cutting edge technology, the bicycle weighs only about 1.3kg and can be customized to suit each client’s ideas or needs. SuperStrata is considered a particularly promising product developed by the Vietnamese. “To turn the idea into reality, Arevo Co. asked SHTP for the permission to build a manufacturing factory on the site. The request has been approved and the plant is expected to come into operation soon”, said Deputy Head of SHTP’s Management Board Le Bich Loan. SHTP not only focuses on growing the high-leveled human resources but also concentrates on research and development activities, followed by commercializing research results. Since 2016, SHTP’s Management Board has submitted promising scientific-technological projects carried out in the park to Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) People’s Committee for financial aid on hi-tech product commercialization. The prioritized fields are biotechnology, Nano technology, micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMs), mechatronics technology, automation and robotics. For example, in 2012, USM Healthcare Medical Equipment Factory JSC. invested in building a plant to manufacture medical equipment in SHTP, before continuing to establish an R&D center in 2015 here to focus researching new technologies for commercialization purposes. Since August 2015, the company has boosted the production of biomedical devices (cardiovascular products using Nano technology for their cover) to export globally. In the period from 2017-2018, SHTP successfully delivered financial aid to 5 commercialization projects from its many labs (each with 30 percent of the total cost). Among them is Nanocellulose material combined with the stem cells of deer velvet antler, created by Geneworld Co. Ltd. …
