The year 2026 marks a significant turning point in Vietnam’s foreign investment strategy as Resolution No. 10-NQ/TW of the Politburo officially takes effect. Rather than prioritizing the number of investment projects, Vietnam is now focusing on attracting high-quality industrial park foreign direct investment (FDI) that delivers advanced technology, innovation, environmental sustainability, and higher added value.
Against this backdrop, Dong Nai continues to strengthen its position as one of Vietnam’s leading industrial and logistics centers by attracting US$1.57 billion in FDI during the first seven months of 2026, demonstrating the province’s growing appeal to global investors seeking long-term manufacturing opportunities.

According to the People’s Committee of Dong Nai, during the first seven months of 2026 the province attracted:
- US$1.57 billion in foreign direct investment.
- More than 50 newly licensed investment projects.
- Nearly 70 projects that increased their investment capital.
These impressive results were achieved despite continued uncertainties in the global economy, reflecting investors’ strong confidence in Dong Nai’s business environment and development potential.
Resolution 10-NQ/TW Is Accelerating high-quality industrial park FDI
Unlike previous investment waves, the new generation of FDI flowing into Dong Nai focuses primarily on:
- High-tech manufacturing.
- Advanced technologies.

Dong Nai Is Positioned to Become a High-Tech Manufacturing Hub
Supported by its strategic geographic location, continuously improving transportation infrastructure, extensive industrial park network, and selective investment policies, Dong Nai is well positioned to become one of Vietnam’s leading high-tech manufacturing centers.
The implementation of Resolution 10-NQ/TW, together with the development of digital technology zones, innovation parks, and research ecosystems, is expected to attract additional multinational corporations specializing in semiconductors, artificial intelligence, electronics, supporting industries, and logistics.
Future Outlook
As global manufacturers continue diversifying their supply chains and increasing investment in Southeast Asia, Dong Nai is expected to benefit from sustained FDI inflows. The province’s commitment to green growth, digital transformation, advanced manufacturing, and innovation-driven industrial development provides a strong foundation for long-term economic expansion. With a growing ecosystem that integrates research, production, logistics, and technology commercialization, Dong Nai is increasingly becoming one of Vietnam’s most competitive destinations for next-generation foreign investment.
Conclusion
Attracting US$1.57 billion in foreign direct investment during the first seven months of 2026 demonstrates Dong Nai’s successful transition from attracting investment based primarily on quantity to prioritizing quality. Guided by Resolution 10-NQ/TW, the province is focusing on high-tech industries, green manufacturing, innovation, and sustainable development.
