Abstract

Amid global competition to attract high-technology investment, institutional reform aimed at shortening the time required to process investment procedures has increasingly become a key element of national development strategies. Singapore is widely regarded as a leading model due to its fast-track mechanism for high-technology investment projects. This article examines the legal framework and practical implementation of this mechanism in Singapore, arguing that its effectiveness lies not in relaxing legal standards but in the organization of law enforcement, institutional coordination, and effective risk control. On that basis, the article draws lessons for Vietnam in improving investment law in alignment with sustainable development objectives.
