The issuance of this list helps the province clearly identify sectors and areas that require investment resources. In turn, it provides a transparent basis for capable investors to access information and explore cooperation opportunities more transparently and conveniently. The list also enables the province to proactively select projects that align with planning orientations, make effective use of land resources and gradually realize the goal of achieving double-digit economic growth in the new development phase.

Priority sectors for investment attraction diversified

According to Official Dispatch No. 2210, Dong Nai will prioritize investment attraction for 91 projects across multiple sectors in 2026. Among them, the industrial and manufacturing sector accounts for the largest share with 32 projects, including investments in IP infrastructure, digital technology zones, high-tech parks and infrastructure for industrial clusters. The service, trade and tourism sector ranks second with 27 projects, followed by 18 projects in the urban and housing sector, including residential areas, urban zones and social housing developments designed to meet the growing housing demand of local residents. In addition, the infrastructure and logistics sector includes six projects related to technical infrastructure, logistics and freight transportation. The social welfare group comprises five projects in healthcare, education and sports, while the agriculture and energy group includes three projects.

The selection of these priority projects for investment attraction is based on the locality’s socio-economic development needs and aligned with Dong Nai provincial planning for the 2021–2030 period, with a vision to 2050. Most projects meet planning and land-use requirements and are distributed across various sectors to support the province’s comprehensive development objectives.

The Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee has assigned the Department of Finance (DoF) to take the lead, in coordination with the Department of Agriculture and Environment and other relevant agencies, to review and advise the provincial authorities on including land-use-rights auction projects in the investment attraction list once they fully meet regulatory requirements. For projects that still lack sufficient legal information regarding planning or land origin, the DoF will continue working with relevant departments, sectors and localities to review and complete documentation before proposing their addition to the list when conditions are met.

According to Deputy Director of the DoF Tran Vu Hoai Ha, advising the provincial People’s Committee to issue the list of priority projects for investment attraction serves the province’s investment promotion efforts while also facilitating investors in accessing information about potential projects, sectors and investment locations.

Shaping key investment opportunities

According to a real estate enterprise currently implementing projects in Dong Nai, proactively providing information on priority projects for investment attraction is an important solution to enhance the effectiveness of investment promotion for both the province and businesses. For the province, it helps select projects consistent with socio-economic development plans, sectoral strategies and approved land-use planning. For enterprises, it provides clearer information about project locations, scale and development orientation, enabling them to better evaluate investment opportunities.

Beyond providing information, the publication of Dong Nai’s priority investment project list also reflects the province’s focused strategy in attracting investment in the coming period. Based on this list, the province plans to invite potential investors to participate in investment promotion conferences where specific sectors, areas and projects requiring development resources will be introduced.

A closer look at the project list highlights the sectors that Dong Nai prioritizes for development. Accordingly, industrial and manufacturing projects continue to account for the largest share, demonstrating the province’s determination to develop its core economic sector and build a modern industrial ecosystem capable of attracting high-tech industries, supporting industries and environmentally friendly industries. Meanwhile, residential areas, urban zones and social housing projects are also emphasized to meet the rising housing demand of residents, particularly workers employed in industrial parks. These projects are expected to play an important role in accelerating urban development while supporting the long-term vision of transforming Dong Nai into a centrally governed city.

In the fields of services, trade, tourism and logistics, several projects have also been included in the priority list for investment attraction. Dr. Ngo Viet Nam Son, architect and Chairman of NgoViet Architects & Planners based in Ho Chi Minh City, said these sectors hold significant development potential as Dong Nai’s strategic transport infrastructure continues to take shape. Once major projects such as Long Thanh International Airport, Phuoc An seaport, Hoa Lu international border gate, along with expressways, ring roads and railway systems, become operational, demand for logistics, trade, urban development and tourism is expected to grow strongly, opening up numerous investment opportunities.

According to the published project list, provincial and local authorities will continue reviewing and completing legal documentation, planning information and related conditions to facilitate investment attraction. At the same time, the province will further promote administrative reform and improve the quality of investment environment in order to enhance its attractiveness to both domestic and foreign investors.

With the goal of maintaining double-digit economic growth from 2026 through 2030, the publication of the priority investment project list is considered one of Dong Nai’s key solutions to effectively mobilize social resources for development. Once these projects are implemented, the province will gain additional capital for infrastructure, industrial and urban development, create more employment opportunities and gradually improve the living standards of local residents, thereby contributing to the province’s next phase of development..
