This change has been accelerated recently, in order to meet the demands of demanding markets such as Europe, the US, Japan, etc.; at the same time, it is also a response to the US imposing reciprocal tariffs on goods originating from Vietnam.

Actively seek and capture the market

According to statistics from the Ministry of Finance , in the first 6 months of 2025, Vietnam attracted nearly 12 billion USD in FDI capital, an increase of more than 8% over the same period in 2024. According to the Ministry of Finance 's assessment, this is Vietnam's highest FDI attraction result in the first 6 months of the year in the past 5 years.

Assessing the performance of FDI investors, economic experts believe that Vietnam has maintained its growth rate because both enterprises and leaders from the central to local levels have always been proactive in grasping the situation and making changes in behavior, as well as promptly converting production technology. This proactiveness has helped FDI enterprises in Vietnam reduce the impact of the market, as well as the impact of US tariff policies.

Dong Nai is in the top 5 localities nationwide in attracting FDI with 52 established industrial parks and nearly 2,200 FDI projects in operation; total investment capital of over 41 billion USD, coming from 46 countries and territories, led by Korea, Taiwan and Japan.

In Dong Nai, in the first 6 months of 2025, Dong Nai attracted over 1.4 billion USD in FDI, an increase of 48% over the same period in 2024. According to investors, despite major market fluctuations, Dong Nai has attracted the attention of FDI investors. For enterprises that have invested and are operating in Dong Nai, they are proactive in grasping and having plans to respond to market changes.

As a French company specializing in manufacturing backpacks and handbags according to orders from foreign partners, exporting goods to European, American, Canadian markets..., in the face of market fluctuations, FFG Company Limited (FFG, Long Binh Industrial Park) has had timely response solutions.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Ngoc Thuy, CEO of FFG, said that 50% of FFG's goods are exported to the European market (France, Netherlands...) and about 40-50% to the US or Canadian market. As soon as the US announced the imposition of reciprocal tariffs, FFG was directly affected in terms of orders. However, after the announcement of the US's reciprocal tariff policy, FFG has increased its search for new markets from Europe, especially countries that have not yet been influenced by the US market. From there, the company's market development team built a strategy to search for new markets (Japan, Korea...), limiting direct exports to the US. Currently, FFG still attracts many partners who want to learn and cooperate.

Dong Nai is still an attractive destination for investors.

As a company operating in Dong Nai for more than 30 years, Vietnam Precision Industry Corporation (VPIC, Taiwan - China) still chooses Dong Nai as its home and constantly invests and applies modern technology in production.

Ms. Lee Wei Chun, Chairman of VPIC Board of Directors, said that VPIC not only produces and trades but also focuses on investing in modern equipment and machinery for production. In particular, VPIC pioneered the implementation of automatic welding lines, self-researched and developed by the company's own team more than 20 years ago. Currently, in the factory, VPIC has 2 automatic welding lines. This is an automated equipment system that combines Taiwanese technology and contributions from the team in Vietnam. In addition, VPIC has invested in an automated warehouse system, including automatic transport vehicles, to optimize human resources in the future. This helps VPIC move towards the goal of automated production with artificial intelligence (AI) technology, ensuring productivity and product quality.

Along with the development of enterprises, in recent times, the leaders of Dong Nai province have always encouraged and supported operating enterprises, creating the most favorable environment for FDI investors to approach, learn about and want to have long-term ties with Dong Nai. Accordingly, Dong Nai continues to focus on selectively attracting investment, choosing the best investors, controlling projects, prioritizing environmentally friendly projects, clean technology according to Resolution 50-NQ/TW dated August 20, 2019 of the Politburo on the orientation of perfecting institutions and policies, improving the quality and efficiency of foreign investment cooperation until 2030.

Speaking at meetings and dialogues with FDI enterprises operating in the province as well as enterprises coming to learn about Dong Nai, Comrade Vo Tan Duc, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, always emphasized that with the motto of the government accompanying enterprises, the provincial leaders always welcome and create the most favorable conditions for investors to learn about the investment environment in Dong Nai, listen to the difficulties and problems of enterprises operating in the province. In particular, for the difficulties and problems of enterprises operating in the province, the provincial leaders will prioritize handling, creating an effective investment and business environment for enterprises, contributing to achieving the target of double-digit economic growth in 2025.
