Dong Nai now boasts 83 industrial zones, 63 industrial clusters, and the Hoa Lu Border Gate Economic Zone covering over 25,800 hectares. The province’s comprehensive transport infrastructure including road, rail, inland waterway, seaport, and international airport gives it a strategic advantage in attracting high-quality investment.

New FDI projects focus on high-tech, environmentally friendly industries such as semiconductors, electronic components, mechanical engineering, and metal products manufacturing. Notably, no new projects fall into pollution-prone or labor-intensive categories, aligning with the province’s green and sustainable investment goals.

In 2025, Dong Nai has welcomed delegations from countries and territories including the Netherlands, UAE, Japan, and Taiwan, all exploring investment opportunities. The Netherlands, with 18 active projects, remains the province’s largest EU investor. Dutch Consul General Daniël Stork praised Dong Nai’s supportive investment environment and expressed optimism about its future as a regional economic hub.

Looking ahead, Dong Nai aims to accelerate development in high-tech industries, air logistics, and smart, eco-friendly urban zones. With its strategic location, robust infrastructure, and a forward-looking investment policy, Dong Nai is poised to remain a dynamic driver of Vietnam’s economic growth.
