In recent times, the Management Board of Dong Nai’s IPs and Economic Zones has given priority to attracting large-scale projects using advanced technology, skilled labor, and those in supporting industries, ensuring consistency with the province’s investment orientation. Meanwhile, it has restricted labor-intensive projects with small scale, outdated technology, or potentially negative environmental impacts.

Notably, in July alone, Dong Nai’s IPs welcomed several sizable FDI projects, including Phoenix Contact Manufacturing Co., Ltd. at Amata IP (Long Binh Ward) with an investment of over US$11.2 million; J&B Textile Vietnam Co., Ltd. at Minh Hung Sikico IP (Tan Khai Commune) with over US$10 million; and Marmon Fastening Solutions Co., Ltd. at Nhon Trach I IP (Nhon Trach District) with more than US$9.2 million in capital. To date, Dong Nai has nearly 2,200 FDI projects with a combined registered capital exceeding USD 41 billion.
