Dong Nai Broke Ground on Two 2,000-ha Industrial Parks to Prepare for the Next Wave of Manufacturing FDI

On 19 December 2025, Dong Nai Province officially broke ground on two large-scale industrial parks: Bau Can – Tan Hiep Industrial Park and Xuan Que – Song Nhan Industrial Park, with a combined Phase-1 area of approximately 2,000 hectares. This is regarded as one of the most significant industrial infrastructure milestones in Dong Nai in 2025, sending a clear signal of the province’s long-term preparation for a new wave of manufacturing investment, particularly high-tech foreign direct investment (FDI) linked to Long Thanh International Airport.

Large scale and strategic location

Both industrial parks are located within direct connectivity of Long Thanh International Airport, a national priority aviation infrastructure project currently under development. As industrial land supply in core provinces such as Binh Duong and Ho Chi Minh City becomes increasingly constrained, Dong Nai’s launch of new industrial parks exceeding 1,000 hectares per project carries strategic significance—not only for the province itself, but for the entire Southern Key Economic Region.

Bau Can – Tan Hiep Industrial Park covers approximately 1,000 hectares in Phase 1 and is developed by Tan Hiep Industrial Park Joint Stock Company. The project is positioned as a “next-generation industrial city,” integrating manufacturing space, logistics, supporting services, and sustainability-oriented development elements.

Meanwhile, Xuan Que – Song Nhan Industrial Park, also around 1,000 hectares in Phase 1, is invested by KN Holdings. This industrial park is planned to focus on high value-added manufacturing sectors and is expected to serve as a key “industrial satellite” supporting the future operations of Long Thanh Airport.

Infrastructure investment exceeding VND 20 trillion

According to announcements at the groundbreaking ceremony, total infrastructure investment for Bau Can – Tan Hiep Industrial Park is approximately VND 10.5 trillion, while Xuan Que – Song Nhan Industrial Park has a total investment of around VND 10 trillion. This scale of capital commitment reflects a structured, long-term development approach, with infrastructure standards being built from the outset, rather than the “fill-first, upgrade-later” model seen in many earlier-generation industrial parks.

The technical infrastructure of both parks is planned to be fully synchronized, encompassing internal road networks, power and water supply, wastewater treatment systems, digital infrastructure, and logistics space. These factors are particularly critical for high-tech manufacturing FDI, where investors impose stringent requirements on infrastructure quality, environmental compliance, and operational stability.

FDI attraction strategy: high technology, logistics, and green industry

The most notable feature of the two projects lies not only in their scale, but in their clearly defined priority sectors—a decisive factor for multinational corporations seeking new manufacturing locations in Vietnam.
Bau Can – Tan Hiep Industrial Park is positioned to attract semiconductors, electronics, data centers, clean energy projects, and smart logistics. These sectors align closely with Vietnam’s selective FDI policy and its strategy to upgrade industrial value chains and economic structure.

Xuan Que – Song Nhan Industrial Park, by contrast, targets next-generation manufacturing, including precision engineering, electrical and electronic components, advanced materials, electric vehicles and batteries, pharmaceuticals, and medical devices. The complementary sector focus of the two parks is expected to facilitate the formation of a multifunctional industrial cluster, strengthening regional supply-chain linkages.

Implications for Dong Nai’s and Vietnam’s FDI strategy

Strategic location advantage

Both industrial parks lie within the development corridor surrounding Long Thanh International Airport, with convenient access to interregional expressways and the Cai Mep – Thi Vai deep-sea port cluster. This connectivity is a decisive advantage for high-value manufacturing industries that depend heavily on air logistics and global supply chains.

Large-scale land supply amid growing scarcity

The launch of two industrial parks of approximately 1,000 hectares each directly addresses the shortage of large, contiguous industrial land plots in Southern Vietnam. This scale is well suited to campus-style FDI projects, allowing phased investment and the development of supplier ecosystems around anchor manufacturing facilities. Notably, Bau Can – Tan Hiep Industrial Park is expected to be ready to hand over land to secondary investors from Q4 2026.

Alignment with selective FDI policy

Bau Can – Tan Hiep (developer: Tan Hiep Industrial Park Joint Stock Company) prioritizes semiconductors, electronics, data centers, clean energy, and logistics. Xuan Que – Song Nhan (developer: KN Holdings) focuses on precision engineering, electrical and electronic manufacturing, electric vehicles and batteries, and medical devices.

Strong infrastructure commitment

With total infrastructure investment exceeding VND 20 trillion, the two projects demonstrate a high level of readiness and credibility—an essential consideration for foreign manufacturers making long-term, capital-intensive production decisions
