KNIC STRENGTHENS VIETNAM-GREATER BAY AREA INVESTMENT CONNECTIONS THROUGH STRATEGIC MOUS
On 14 July 2026 in Guangdong, KN Industrial City (KNIC) signed Memoranda of Understanding with three influential business and social organisations from the Greater Bay Area and Shenzhen, marking a new step in strengthening investment connections between Vietnam and one of Asia’s most dynamic economic regions.
The agreements were signed with the Greater Bay Area Import and Export Trade Association, the Shenzhen Import and Export Chamber of Commerce, and the Shenzhen Federation of Social Organisations. Together, these organisations represent extensive networks across manufacturing, technology, cross-border trade, logistics, digital commerce and supply chains.
Through the new partnerships, KNIC will work with its counterparts to exchange market intelligence, connect business communities, organise investment missions and site visits, and introduce industrial opportunities in Vietnam.
For companies seeking to diversify production, expand in Southeast Asia or strengthen regional supply chains, KNIC offers access to modern industrial infrastructure, clean-energy solutions, investment support, legal guidance and a connected service ecosystem.
The MoUs reinforce KNIC’s role as a practical bridge between investors in Guangdong and Vietnam, helping businesses reduce market-entry barriers, shorten project preparation time and establish operations more efficiently.
By building long-term partnerships with trusted regional organisations, KNIC continues to create new pathways for sustainable investment, manufacturing cooperation and cross-border business growth.
