Member of the Supervisory Board of Aone Deutschland AG, Christophe Hug said the group aims to focus on projects that can generate new sources of renewable material and clean energy for the city, among other environmental benefits.
The German representative hailed Hanoi's openess to foreign investment. Hanoi is a fast-growing city with top priority for investment attraction, he stressed.
However,
 environmental projects face much challenges while being carried out in the city. This kind of  project costs much and demands the advanced technology to ensure enviromental standards, he said.
Hence, the city authority should take more measures to encourage foreign firms in the area. They can adopt more policies to ensure financial commitment for foreign investors, Christophe Hug noted.
With projects calling for investment, everything should be clear, he said.
