Bac Ninh People’s Committee Chairman Pham Hoang Son addresses the “FDI Connect 2026” Forum

With a stable socio-economic foundation, deep international integration, and a development strategy based on science and technology, Vietnam is increasingly strengthening its position as an attractive destination for international investors. In particular, the implementation of major central government policies such as Resolution 57 is creating an important institutional foundation for breakthroughs in strategic sectors including semiconductors and artificial intelligence.

Within this broader context, Bac Ninh is one of the country’s leading localities in attracting and effectively utilizing foreign investment capital.

To date, the province has attracted more than 3,500 FDI projects from 46 countries and territories, with total registered capital exceeding US$49 billion. In 2025 alone, Bac Ninh attracted US$5.73 billion, ranking second nationwide. In the first quarter of 2026, the province continued to attract US$1.17 billion, maintaining its position among the country’s leading localities.

The FDI sector plays a central role in the provincial economy, contributing significantly to GRDP growth, which reached 10.27% in 2025 and 9.82% in the first quarter of 2026. The sector also accounts for a large share of export turnover and creates jobs for hundreds of thousands of workers.

In recent years, Bac Ninh has emerged as a regional center for electronics manufacturing and high technology, serving as an important link in the global supply chain. These results reflect the confidence of the international business community and the effectiveness of the province’s investment environment.

As it enters a new phase of development, Bac Ninh is shifting strongly toward selective investment attraction, with quality, efficiency, and sustainability as the main criteria.

The province is focusing on completing its strategic infrastructure system, particularly inter-regional transport infrastructure, next-generation industrial parks, logistics, and digital infrastructure. Key projects such as Gia Binh International Airport, Ring Road 4, and Ring Road 5 of the Hanoi Capital Region (Hanoi and surrounding provinces) are expected to expand development space and strengthen competitiveness.

Currently, the province has around 500 hectares of cleared industrial land in industrial parks with fully developed infrastructure, ready to accommodate large-scale and high-tech projects. By the end of 2026, the province expects to add another 500 hectares of cleared industrial land, creating an important driver for maintaining industrial growth momentum.

In terms of institutions and the investment environment, Bac Ninh continues to actively innovate its management approach, including the implementation of a “Green Channel” mechanism for administrative procedures aimed at shortening processing times and providing faster support for key and high-tech projects. At the same time, the province continues to improve a transparent, stable policy framework aligned with international practices to create the most favorable conditions for investors to implement projects effectively.

In line with national orientations, Bac Ninh prioritizes attracting high value-added industries such as semiconductors, artificial intelligence, smart manufacturing, clean energy, and the digital economy, thereby gradually participating more deeply in higher value-added segments of the global supply chain.

The province is placing special focus on promoting linkages between FDI enterprises and domestic companies, developing supporting industries, and moving toward the creation of a modern industrial ecosystem capable of generating spillover effects and innovation.

With the consistent principle of “placing businesses at the center of public service, citizens as the beneficiaries, and the government as a facilitator of development,” Bac Ninh is committed to continuing to improve the business and investment environment in a transparent, convenient, and competitive direction; accelerating administrative reform, shortening processing times, and reducing costs for businesses; while also developing a high-quality workforce and improving living standards and employment opportunities for local residents.

Bac Ninh has consistently viewed the effectiveness of government administration as being measured by the sustainable development of businesses, the quality of life of residents, and the balance of interests among all stakeholders throughout the development process.

With increasingly complete infrastructure, readily available industrial land, a transparent investment environment, and a supportive local government, Bac Ninh invites international investors to continue studying, expanding, and implementing new projects in the province, particularly in high-tech industries, innovation, and sustainable development.
