This center will be in operation without having to pay rent for next 50 years.

Samsung Electronics is currently operating a R&D center by leasing a building in Hanoi.

Due to limited space, Samsung Electronics had pointed out that it was difficult to respond to increase in number of R&D employees that was occurring due to expansion of Vietnamese business.

Vietnamese industries predict that as soon as construction of new R&D center is completed, number of presiding employees, which is currently about 1,400, will also increase.
