Events & Activities

To anticipate the shift of foreign investment into next-generation industries, a high-level delegation from Gia Lai province, led by the Provincial Party Secretary, in collaboration with Becamex Binh Dinh Joint Stock Company, conducted a series of economic diplomacy and investment promotion activities in Shanghai, Suzhou, and Ningbo (China). This event affirmed the readiness of “New Gia Lai” with its integrated green infrastructure model, streamlined procedures (only 38 days), and a sustainable ecosystem covering 1,425 hectares at the Becamex VSIP Binh Dinh Industrial, Urban & Service Park, creating a foundation for long-term prosperity for FDI investors.

Chinese FDI – A Shift Towards High-Tech and Sustainable Industries

China is currently Vietnam’s largest trading partner in ASEAN, and Vietnam is also China’s fourth largest trading partner globally, with bilateral trade reaching a record high of US$296.1 billion in 2025.

Along with the scale of trade, foreign direct investment (FDI) from China is undergoing a fundamental qualitative change.

Scale of capital flow: In 2025, registered Chinese FDI in Vietnam is expected to reach US$3.64 billion, leading in the number of new projects with 1,275 projects. This trend is expected to continue in the first six months of 2026, with over US$2.8 billion from 679 new projects.

Industry structure: Capital flows are shifting away from traditional labor-intensive industries to focus on high-tech sectors: processing and manufacturing, niche industries, electronics, microchips, and renewable energy.

This shift is entirely consistent with Gia Lai province’s investment attraction strategy and the specialized infrastructure planning at Becamex VSIP Binh Dinh.

The mark of economic diplomacy at 3 leading industrial centers in China

Capturing this trend, recently, a delegation from Gia Lai province, led by Mr. Thai Dai Ngoc, Member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam and Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, along with leaders of Becamex Binh Dinh, carried out a series of diplomatic activities to promote cooperation between Gia Lai province and cities in China, focusing on 3 of the most dynamic economic centers – home to leading technology and logistics enterprises – including Shanghai, Suzhou (Jiangsu province), and… Ningbo (Zhejiang Province).

This event not only promotes the potential of a “new Gia Lai” after the merger but also affirms the commitment to accompanying Chinese investors in the digital era and green transformation.

In Shanghai, the delegation worked with the Committee for International Trade Promotion (CCPIT) and the Shanghai Modern Industries Union (SMSIU). The exchange conference there attracted nearly 30 large enterprises in the fields of finance, logistics, and AI.

Gia Lai Provincial Party Secretary Thai Dai Ngoc affirmed that Shanghai is a model of modern development that Gia Lai wants to connect with to learn from and attract investment. Meanwhile, Suzhou is a strategic destination as it is the center of high-tech manufacturing, semiconductor, and robotics industries in China. The conference there saw the participation of over 100 enterprises, including units belonging to the Jilin University MBA Alumni Association. Investors in Suzhou showed particular interest in Gia Lai’s preferential policies in the supporting industries and electronics sector. In Ningbo City, the delegation spent time working with the Ningbo Port Management Board – a seaport with one of the world’s leading cargo volumes (over 1.3 billion tons/year).

The connection between Ningbo Port and Quy Nhon Port is key to Gia Lai realizing its goal of becoming a logistics center connecting the Central Highlands and the Mekong sub-region countries to the East Sea.

Gia Lai and Becamex VSIP Binh Dinh are ready to welcome a new wave of investment.

Gia Lai enters the 2026-2030 period with a new stature after the merger, covering an area of ​​over 21,500 km² (the second largest in the country), with a population of 3.5 million people and a strategic location on the East-West and North-South axes.

The biggest advantage is the “one-stop shop” mechanism, which helps shorten implementation time. Investment procedures in industrial parks now take only 38 days, maximizing opportunities for technology companies requiring rapid progress.

To achieve a breakthrough, Gia Lai province leaders have strongly committed to administrative reform with the spirit of “6 clear points”: clear person, clear task, clear time, clear responsibility, clear product, and clear authority. The time to process investment procedures has been significantly shortened: projects in industrial parks now take only 38 days compared to 145 days previously.

Mr. Nguyen Tu Cong Hoang, Vice Chairman of the Gia Lai Provincial People’s Committee, emphasized that Gia Lai is not only a place with potential, but also a place that is ready in terms of infrastructure, institutions, and resources.

With 14 existing Chinese FDI projects totaling $175 million, Gia Lai is now ready to welcome a wave of investment from Chinese businesses after investment promotion trips to three cities: Shanghai, Suzhou, and Zhejiang.

Given the international standing of China’s major cities and business communities, along with the province’s potential and determination to innovate, Gia Lai hopes this trip will pave the way for leading investors from Shanghai, Suzhou, and Ningbo to arrive soon, transforming Gia Lai into a regional center for processing industries and high technology.

As a pioneering partner of the province, Becamex Binh Dinh Joint Stock Company – the investor of the Becamex VSIP Binh Dinh Industrial Park infrastructure – has prepared large-scale clean infrastructure resources to receive high-tech projects:

To date, Becamex VSIP Binh Dinh Industrial Park has completed 100% of land clearance work on the entire area of ​​subdivision 7, equivalent to 1,425 hectares; and simultaneously completed the synchronized technical infrastructure on more than 550 hectares of industrial park land. The industrial park infrastructure has been basically invested in synchronously, creating favorable conditions to attract domestic and foreign investors.

With experience and capacity in implementing synchronized industrial park infrastructure and an effective cooperation model, Becamex VSIP Binh Dinh is one of the important partners, ready to cooperate in providing information on land availability, infrastructure, connectivity options, logistics, and project implementation conditions for domestic and foreign investors.

And beyond mere industrial infrastructure, Becamex VSIP Binh Dinh is asserting its superior advantage in attracting high-tech projects thanks to its similar development orientation with centers like Suzhou and Ningbo. The industrial park is meticulously planned to capitalize on precision mechanics, electrical and electronic equipment, and especially semiconductor and artificial intelligence (AI) industries – pillars that the province is prioritizing for investment.

Mr. Nguyen Van Lang, Member of the Board of Directors and General Director of Becamex Binh Dinh Joint Stock Company, affirmed: “We are ready to implement green energy, water infrastructure, and telecommunications infrastructure. Notably, to realize the Net Zero goal and develop a circular economy, Becamex VSIP Binh Dinh is pioneering the construction of a sustainable energy ecosystem.”

Accordingly, in addition to solar energy projects (solar farms) that utilize the area’s vast land area and high radiation intensity to ensure a stable energy supply, the industrial park is actively preparing the infrastructure to deploy CNG and LNG gas supply to serve investors developing their ecosystems in the future.

The General Director of Becamex Binh Dinh Joint Stock Company also emphasized, “This is a strategic step to provide a clean, stable energy source at optimal cost for large-scale manufacturing plants, while meeting the stringent carbon emission reduction standards that international investors are particularly interested in when seeking new investment locations.

With the proactive institutional support of Gia Lai province and its capacity to provide integrated and synchronized infrastructure, Becamex VSIP Binh Dinh not only builds a ready-made infrastructure foundation but is also ready to act as a strategic partner, providing comprehensive support to investors throughout the project implementation process — from surveying, completing legal procedures, construction implementation to stable long-term production operation. All of these conditions are converging to transform this area into a new generation high-tech industrial and logistics center, bringing real value and a foundation for prosperity to the international business community.
