To achieve the above goal, Dong Nai is making efforts to promote its internal strength, while "opening the way" for infrastructure development, reforming administrative procedures, strengthening foreign affairs and international integration; promoting its role as the center of the Southeast region, creating maximum convenience to attract potential investors, especially in the field of foreign direct investment (FDI).

Creating a "push" to attract FDI

With the 4th largest economic scale in the country and quality human resources ready to supply to enterprises, geographical location and diversity in types of transportation, especially the national key project Long Thanh International Airport (Airport) when put into operation is expected to create a new wave for economic development, Dong Nai province is making efforts to "pave the way" to welcome a new wave of FDI investment.

One of Dong Nai's efforts to "pave the way" to welcome investors is to focus on implementing necessary procedures, speeding up site clearance to soon start construction of industrial park (IP) development projects such as: Long Duc 3 IP with an area of over 244 hectares; Bau Can - Tan Hiep IP (phase 1) with an area of 1,000 hectares and Xuan Que - Song Nhan (phase 1) with an area of 1,000 hectares. The IPs are all located next to Long Thanh Airport, expected to start construction on December 19, 2025. After coming into operation, the above IPs are expected to attract about 12.7 billion USD in FDI capital, creating jobs for about 80-90 thousand workers at the factories.

In addition to the above industrial parks, in the North of Dong Nai province, many industrial parks have been planned and researched for construction. A typical example is Dong Nam Dong Phu Industrial Park, a project researched and invested by Techtra Infrastructure Investment and Development Joint Stock Company (Binh Phuoc Ward) on an area of about 2,000 hectares.

Along with preparing land for industry, Dong Nai also has policies to support and attract investment. Deputy Head of the Management Board of Industrial Parks and Economic Zones of the province Nguyen Minh Chien said: Enterprises investing in Dong Nai province will enjoy incentives on corporate income tax, export and import tax, value added tax, land and water surface rent, etc. when meeting the conditions for enjoying incentives according to the provisions of investment law and tax law. Dong Nai will continue to promote administrative procedure reform, implement a "one-stop shop", reduce licensing time and support focal points to accompany and remove difficulties for enterprises. The province is focusing on attracting projects that meet the criteria of high technology, low emissions, high added value and good connection with domestic and regional supply chains. At the same time, encourage regional linkages to take advantage of synergies between Dong Nai and Ho Chi Minh City, the Central Highlands and neighboring provinces, etc.

In the first 9 months of 2025, Dong Nai's total FDI capital reached over 2.4 billion USD. Of which, 142 new projects were granted with a total registered capital of over 1 billion USD, and 144 projects were registered to increase their capital with a total additional capital of over 1.3 billion USD. To date, the province has over 2,200 FDI projects with a registered investment capital of over 42 billion USD.

Opportunities for FDI investors

Recently, Dong Nai has welcomed many businesses, embassies, and consulates general to visit and learn about the investment environment in Dong Nai. Through the working sessions, investors all agreed that Dong Nai is an ideal destination in Vietnam with many advantages in terms of location and traffic connections.

For investors who have been operating in Dong Nai for many years, Dong Nai still has full confidence. The proof is that in the first 9 months of 2025, Dong Nai has granted investment registration certificates to 144 projects registering for capital increase adjustment with a total additional capital of over 1.3 billion USD, higher than the number of new investment projects.

Commenting on the operation process in Dong Nai in recent years, Chairman of the Taiwanese Chamber of Commerce in Dong Nai, Dien Khon Truong, said: Many Taiwanese enterprises have come to Dong Nai to invest, operate production and business for more than 30 years, when Vietnam just started the opening period. During the operation process, the enterprises received great support from the provincial leaders as well as departments and branches. Therefore, Taiwanese enterprises continuously expanded and made new investments in Dong Nai and became one of the three countries and territories with the highest investment capital in the province. In particular, recently, Taiwan has had many high-tech enterprises investing in the province in the fields of electronics, semiconductors, supporting industries, etc.

Currently, Dong Nai's investment environment has all the factors that FDI investors need, which are regional transportation centers, areas with few natural disasters, synchronous and clear planning, large land areas, stable and transparent investment attraction policies. Dong Nai's government with its service spirit has created a sustainable competitive advantage. Therefore, FDI enterprises coming to Dong Nai will stay for a long time, cooperate with domestic enterprises to increase the localization rate, and create a sustainable supply chain.

In addition to reforming administrative procedures and investing in synchronous infrastructure as top priorities, with its location as the traffic center of the Southern key economic region, the province has been accelerating the construction progress of Long Thanh Airport, the Bien Hoa - Vung Tau, Ben Luc - Long Thanh, Dau Giay - Lien Khuong, Gia Nghia - Chon Thanh expressways, belt roads, developing logistics systems and regional connecting industrial parks. This is the "foundation" that helps businesses feel secure in production and investment expansion.
