Boosting the new FDI wave into Vietnam industrial parks

The upcoming Forum on “Improving Policies to Attract the New Generation of FDI into Industrial Parks,” organized by the Business Forum Magazine under the direction of the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI), will take place on November 28 in Hanoi. The event will focus on refining policies to welcome a new FDI wave aligned with sustainable development goals, emissions reduction, and stronger domestic supply chains.

Strong FDI Momentum

Vietnam remains a compelling investment destination. In the first ten months of 2025, the country attracted USD 31.52 billion in pledged FDI, up 15.6% year-on-year, with disbursed capital reaching USD 21.3 billion, the highest in five years. Manufacturing and processing continue to lead the way, as global giants like Samsung, Intel, and LG expand operations in key industrial zones such as VSIP and DeepC.

Experts attribute this momentum to Vietnam’s strategic location, competitive labor costs, and participation in major trade agreements such as RCEP and EVFTA. These figures highlight not only Vietnam’s financial appeal but also its growing potential for technological transformation and production expansion — provided the right policies are in place.

Policy Reform: From Attraction to Partnership

The foundation for this transformation was set by Resolution No. 50-NQ/TW, issued by the Politburo in August 2019 — the first comprehensive resolution on foreign investment. It marked a strategic shift from “attraction” to “high-quality partnership”, targeting leading global corporations, particularly from Europe and the United States.

Building on this vision, a series of new mechanisms have since been introduced — from special incentives and “green lanes” for strategic projects to the creation of an Investment Support Fund.

Industrial Parks at the Heart of Transformation

As the economic “locomotives” for nearly three decades, industrial parks (IPs) are now at the center of Vietnam’s FDI transformation. Under a new draft decree on IP and Economic Zone (EZ) management led by the Ministry of Finance, key innovations include encouraging greenhouse gas reduction and promoting industrial symbiosis models. These initiatives aim not only to incentivize green transition but also to expand regional development, steering Vietnam toward its net-zero target by 2050.

A Platform for Dialogue and Partnership

Under the direction of VCCI, the Business Forum Magazine will host this event as a bridge between policymakers, ministries, local authorities, and the business community. The forum will gather representatives from the Ministries of Finance, Industry and Trade, and Science and Technology, as well as leaders from major localities such as Hai Phong, Hung Yen, Quang Ninh, and Vinh Phuc.

Foreign business associations from Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Europe, and the U.S., alongside multinational corporations and leading industrial park developers including SLP, Vietnam Industrial Park, Prodezi, CNC Tech, Fecon, Sao Do Group, VSIP, DeepC, Hoa Phat, and Rox iPark, will also share their insights.

With over 400 enterprises and investors expected to attend, the forum will serve as a multidimensional networking platform — from expanding partnerships and finding new clients to fostering value-chain linkages through business-matching sessions and exhibition spaces.

Toward Sustainable Growth

Key discussions will revolve around strategies to attract next-generation FDI, assess the impact of ongoing projects, and address existing bottlenecks. Policymakers, experts, and business leaders will analyze this strategic shift from the lens of Vietnam’s long-term development, evaluating both economic and social outcomes and proposing actionable solutions to enhance competitiveness.

Ultimately, Vietnam’s journey to attract new-generation FDI is not a race for numbers — it is a comprehensive transformation toward green, circular, and sustainable growth. Its success depends on strong cooperation between a proactive government and a visionary business community. The upcoming forum represents an important milestone — where ideas, policies, and solutions converge to open a new chapter in Vietnam’s FDI story.
