High-tech FDI growth and economic shifts in Vietnam

Overview

The surge in high-tech Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Northern Vietnam continues to evolve, with specific provinces demonstrating massive cumulative inflows. In the first nine months of 2026, Bac Ninh recorded over $18.74 billion in cumulative FDI, a 22.5% increase from the previous year. Following its designation as a centrally-governed city, Bac Ninh has seen a projected GRDP increase of 11.81%, ranking fourth nationally in growth.

Bac Ninh has also emerged as a national leader in export turnover. In September 2026, the province surpassed Ho Chi Minh City to lead Vietnam with $12.7 billion in exports. For the first nine months of 2026, Bac Ninh recorded $88.2 billion in exports, driven by manufacturing in electronics, telecommunications, and semiconductors. Major FDI contributors include Samsung, Canon, Amkor, Luxshare-ICT, Fukang, and Fuhong. To further boost competitiveness, the province is intensifying administrative reforms and supporting the private sector. A cooperation program with Samsung Vietnam has helped companies develop smart factories, increasing labor productivity by 15% to over 40%.

Hanoi has also seen significant capital inflows, attracting approximately $3.87 billion in FDI through the first nine months of 2026, reaching about 86.11% of its $4.5 billion annual target. In September 2026, the city secured $137.61 million, a 261.19% increase compared to September 2025.

Parallel to investment growth, Hanoi has announced 292 projects totaling approximately 384,886 trillion VND. This includes 18 flagship projects, such as a 299-hectare safari park in Ba Vi and a $420 million multipurpose entertainment complex in Soc Son. Other initiatives focus on environmental dredging of the Nhue and Cau Bay rivers and upgrading dike systems.
