Up to now, Binh Duong has attracted over 41.8 billion USD in FDI, ranking third in the country, just behind Ho Chi Minh City and Ha Noi. It is projected that by the 2021-2030 period, with a vision to 2050, the province will have over 40 industrial parks (IPs) with synchronized infrastructure, developing towards green and sustainable industries.

Outstanding advantages in geographical location, transportation infrastructure

Binh Duong is located in the Southeast area of Vietnam and has the advantage of being a trade gateway connecting the Central Highlands provinces with Ho Chi Minh City – the economic center of the country and the provinces in the southern key economic region. Traffic, especially the road system in Binh Duong, is very developed, with many arterial roads such as National Highway 13, Ho Chi Minh Road, Ring Road 3, Ring Road 4, and Trans-Asia Road. From Binh Duong, it is convenient to connect with Tan Son Nhat International Airport and major seaports in the region such as Cat Lai, and Cai Mep-Thi Vai.
Along with focusing on investment in road transport infrastructure, Binh Duong also develops the railway transport system. Of which, the route Di An – Loc Ninh and the route Ho Chi Minh City – My Tho – Can Tho – Ca Mau are accelerating progress. Metro line 1 connecting Ben Thanh and Suoi Tien is under construction, expected to be put into operation in 2024, will help Binh Duong connect conveniently with Ho Chi Minh City and Dong Nai.

The favorable geographical position gives Binh Duong many opportunities for economic – cultural – social development: easily circulating goods, exchanging, and trading with Ho Chi Minh City and neighboring economic regions, easily accessing not only domestic but also international capital and human resources. The flat terrain also creates favorable conditions for the construction of an industrial park, factories in Binh Duong, and the development of the industrial strengths of the province.

Attractive investment environment

In addition to its prime location and developed transportation and infrastructure, Binh Duong is also one of the pioneers in developing green and sustainable industrial parks. Several new production and business models in Binh Duong, focusing on circular economy practices, have been successfully implemented, creating many business opportunities and enhancing the province’s competitiveness. With this trend, the province has attracted large FDI investors, such as Lego Group, with its project to build the first carbon-neutral factory in the world, with a total investment of 1.3 billion USD. Another example is the AB InBev brewery, which has operated a solar energy system that provides 20% of the company’s annual electricity needs.

Lego’s factory in Binh Duong is the first carbon-neutral factory in the world by Lego Group.

The province is actively seeking every solution to attracting increasingly high-quality and effective FDI capital, keeping conditions such as a clean land fund well-prepared, proactively planning industrial parks, and technology ecosystems, conducting human resources training, building social housing, housing for workers, etc. Binh Duong focuses on potential partners such as the US, Europe, Japan, Korea, Singapore, etc. to cooperate, receive technology transfer, and take advantage of the ability to spread them to the domestic industry. Over the past time, Binh Duong has continuously organized seminars and online conferences to promote investment, which attracts the attention of a large number of businesses and large corporations all over the world.
