Opening of Vietnam Industrial Real Estate Forum 2025: "Strong position, welcoming movement"

The event was organized by the Finance - Investment Newspaper in collaboration with the Vietnam Industrial Real Estate Association (VIREA), under the auspices of the Ministry of Finance .

Mr. Pham Van Hoanh, Editor-in-Chief of Finance - Investment Newspaper, Head of VIPF 2025 Organizing Committee, delivered the opening speech of the forum.

In his opening speech at the Forum, Mr. Pham Van Hoanh, Editor-in-Chief of the Finance - Investment Newspaper, Head of the Organizing Committee of VIPF 2025, said that after the Covid-19 pandemic, the world continues to witness prolonged conflicts and geopolitical instability, changing the international trade and investment landscape. However, in that context, Vietnam still emerged as a bright spot in regional growth, with an increase of 8.23% in the third quarter and 7.85% in the first 9 months of 2025.

Foreign direct investment (FDI) continues to be an important driving force of the economy . In the first 9 months of 2025, Vietnam attracted 28.5 billion USD of registered FDI capital, up 15.2% over the same period; disbursed capital reached 18.8 billion USD, up 8.5%. Along with that, many large corporations such as Qualcomm, NVIDIA, LEGO, SYRE... have expanded their investments, established supply chains and R&D centers in Vietnam.

The domestic business sector also recorded positive signals with more than 231,000 newly registered or returning businesses in the first nine months, an increase of more than 26% over the same period last year.

The industrial real estate sector is considered the “hard infrastructure” of economic growth. By the end of 2024, the country had 447 industrial parks established with a total area of about 134,600 hectares, of which 93,000 hectares were industrial land for lease; the average occupancy rate reached over 73%. Industrial parks and economic zones have attracted more than 11,200 FDI projects and 10,600 domestic projects, with a total registered capital of 292.9 billion USD and 3.21 trillion VND, respectively.

The organizers emphasized that Vietnam has established a solid position as a strategic destination in the eyes of international investors, but it needs to continue to proactively seize opportunities from the wave of production shifts and restructuring of global supply chains. This is a pivotal time for infrastructure developers, localities and businesses to 'transform at the right time', ready to welcome new generation strategic investment capital flows.

Within the framework of the VIPF 2025 Forum, there will be two in-depth discussion sessions with the topics "Maintaining position in global movement" and "Vietnam industrial real estate before the new growth cycle", aiming to propose recommendations and solutions to contribute to building a modern, sustainable and highly competitive Vietnamese industrial real estate market.

In addition to the two main discussion sessions, VIPF 2025 also held the “VIPF Green Future Awards 2025” ceremony, to honor businesses developing industrial parks and infrastructure in a green, circular and sustainable direction.
