According to a report by Da Nang Statistics, in the first four months of 2026, thousands of new businesses entered the market, bringing the total number of active businesses in the city to nearly 62,000. Notably, re-entry into the market was also active.
Capital flows surge, many sectors thrive.
Da Nang not only maintains its position as the economic and service center of Central Vietnam but also demonstrates strong appeal thanks to policies on administrative procedure reform, promoting digital transformation, investing in infrastructure, and expanding economic development space.
According to Mr. Tran Van Vu, Head of Statistics in Da Nang, from the beginning of the year to April 20th, the city issued new registration certificates to 2,340 businesses, 225 branches and representative offices, with a total registered charter capital of 10,479 billion VND. Compared to the same period in 2025, the number of newly established businesses increased by 46.8%, while the total registered capital increased by 62.0%.
In April 2026 alone (from March 21st to April 20th), the city issued new registration certificates to 747 businesses, branches, and representative offices, with a total registered charter capital of VND 3,670 billion; an increase of 24.3% in number and 23.8% in capital compared to the same period.
This result clearly reflects the improvement in the city's investment and business environment, particularly thanks to the acceleration of administrative procedure reforms, shortening processing times, and expanding online public services. As a result, individuals and household businesses can more easily transition to the corporate model.
At the same time, the positive recovery of key economic sectors such as tourism , accommodation, food and beverage, and services has strengthened investor confidence, encouraging the establishment of new businesses to seize market opportunities.
Besides the strong increase in newly established businesses, market re-entry activity was also relatively vibrant. As of April 20, 2026, there were 1,306 businesses, branches, and representative offices re-entering the market, an increase of 5.9% compared to the same period last year.
Notably, the real estate sector continues to lead in terms of registered capital. Despite having only 69 new businesses, the total registered capital still reached VND 2,467 billion, reflecting the high expectations of investors in the prospects of the real estate market and urban development in Da Nang.
Besides real estate, many sectors such as information technology, logistics, tourism, e-commerce, and high-quality services have also recorded a significant increase in the number of new businesses.
Not only has the number of businesses increased rapidly, but the scale of investment capital in Da Nang has also seen a significant breakthrough.
According to the Department of Finance, Da Nang's recent investment attraction activities, both domestic and foreign, have shown a positive growth trend, with significant improvements in both capital scale and the number of projects. Domestic capital continues to play a leading role, while FDI has seen a breakthrough, reflecting the increasing attractiveness of the city's investment environment.
The investment structure is more diversified, focusing on infrastructure, high-quality services, and high value-added industries, contributing to improved capital efficiency.
Accordingly, the total domestic investment attracted by the city in the first four months of the year reached VND 70,846 billion, three times higher than the same period last year. In April 2026 alone, Da Nang recorded a total investment of VND 11,953 billion, double that of the same period in 2025, showing that domestic capital flows are accelerating again.
Regarding FDI, Da Nang continues to maintain its attractiveness to international investors. In April, the total registered FDI capital in the city reached US$200.4 million, three times higher than the same period last year.
Continue to improve the investment environment.
According to many economic experts, Da Nang's business growth is not only due to the overall economic recovery but also reflects the effectiveness of reforms to the investment and business environment.
In recent years, Da Nang has continuously promoted administrative procedure reforms, shortened processing times, expanded online public services, and strengthened dialogue with businesses. This has significantly reduced market entry costs for new businesses.
In particular, the Vietnam International Finance Center in Da Nang (VIFC-DN), despite only recently becoming operational, has initially affirmed its role as a new economic model, attracting significant interest from domestic and foreign investors.
The formation and operation of VIFC-DN will create momentum to enhance Da Nang's position on the regional financial map, while gradually building a modern, transparent financial ecosystem with deep connections to the international market.
Mr. Le Minh Hoang, a technology investor from Hanoi, said he is researching and considering Da Nang as a location to open a software development company, primarily due to its dynamic work environment and convenient administrative procedures.
Sharing the same view, Mr. Le Van Hien, a logistics business owner in Ho Chi Minh City, said that his company is also exploring the investment environment in the city to establish a branch, after noticing the rapidly increasing demand for goods transportation in the Central region.
Da Nang, with its advantages of a seaport, airport, and integrated transportation infrastructure, has favorable conditions.
Meanwhile, Mr. Nguyen Vinh Tran, General Director of Nam Hoi An Development Co., Ltd., believes that for Da Nang to continue its breakthrough and enhance its regional competitiveness, the city needs to prioritize addressing core issues, especially land clearance and policy mechanisms for large-scale projects.
According to him, investors need not only streamlined procedures but also a clear, synchronized process with a specific timeline from land clearance to licensing and implementation.
Recently, at the 2026 Business Dialogue Forum, city leaders affirmed that continuing to remove institutional, procedural, and resource bottlenecks is a prerequisite for businesses to develop rapidly, strongly, and sustainably.
The city not only listens but also takes concrete action, resolving and addressing the difficulties and obstacles faced by businesses thoroughly and completely.
The city has always recognized businesses as the core force of the economy. The success of businesses is the success of the city.
Therefore, the government will continue to stand alongside, support, and create all favorable conditions for businesses to develop stably, sustainably, and effectively. This is a strong message aimed at strengthening confidence within the business community, both domestically and internationally.
