HCMC – Dong Nai Province has begun 2026 on a strong investment footing, attracting nearly US$550 million in foreign direct investment (FDI) in the early weeks of the year.
On February 5, the provincial government presented investment certificates to three projects, including new and additional investments, during a conference with foreign-invested enterprises. The approvals highlight Dong Nai’s continued appeal to international investors.
Two of the newly licensed projects come from Singapore, one of Vietnam’s largest sources of FDI.
The first is an US$80-million project by Jabil Technology Vietnam Company Limited at Nhon Trach II–Nhon Phu Industrial Park. The factory will manufacture and process electronic products such as computers, data storage devices, communication equipment, and consumer electronics.
The second project is the Sembcorp Integrated Hub Dong Nai 1 at Loc An–Binh Son Industrial Park, with registered capital of US$69.65 million. The project focuses on developing ready-built factories for lease along with supporting facilities.
The largest contribution in this round comes from a capital expansion by HAOHUA (Vietnam) Tire Manufacturing Plant at Minh Hung–Sikico Industrial Park. The Chinese-invested company received approval to add US$400 million, raising its total investment in Dong Nai to US$900 million.
Dong Nai currently has 58 industrial parks, of which 43 are operational, covering more than 14,600 hectares. The average occupancy rate stands at around 76%.
The province benefits from its strategic location near HCMC, access to major seaports, and the ongoing Long Thanh International Airport project, reinforcing its role as a key industrial gateway in southern Vietnam.
The strong inflow of FDI at the beginning of the year is expected to provide momentum for Dong Nai’s investment performance in 2026.
