Under the close leadership of the Party committees and the city government, Da Nang City continues to promote a proactive and creative spirit in attracting investment, initially achieving encouraging results and contributing to the successful realization of socio-economic development goals.
Encouraging initial results
From the early months of 2026, implementing the Party and State's policy on promoting selective investment attraction, prioritizing high-tech and sustainable development projects, Da Nang City has implemented many practical solutions to improve the business environment, remove administrative procedural obstacles, review land resources, and complete infrastructure, creating the most favorable conditions for investors to implement projects.
According to Da Nang City Statistics, from January 21, 2026 to February 20, 2026, the total registered domestic investment capital in the city reached VND 28,814 billion, a 12-fold increase compared to the same period in 2025 – a remarkable growth demonstrating the confidence of the business community in the city's investment environment. Of this, the city granted licenses to 10 new projects with a total registered capital of VND 28,453 billion, an increase of 3 projects and 20 times the capital compared to the same period last year.
Notably, the Southern Mixed-Use Urban Area Project along the Nguyen Tat Thanh axis in Quang Phu ward, covering over 296 hectares, has just received investment approval with a total capital of nearly VND 18,000 billion. This is a dynamic project, aiming to build a modern urban area, integrating diverse types of housing, commercial and service facilities, and a system of green spaces, contributing to urban beautification and improving the quality of life for the people.
Cumulatively from the beginning of the year to February 20, 2026, the city has attracted a total domestic investment capital of VND 34,779 billion, seven times higher than the same period in 2025. There were 22 newly approved projects with a total registered capital of VND 31,335 billion, an increase of 11 projects and 20 times the capital compared to the same period; 4 projects adjusted their capital upwards with a total additional capital of VND 3,841 billion.
Continuing to maintain and expand Foreign Investment Cooperation
Regarding attracting foreign direct investment (FDI), from the beginning of the year to February 20, 2026, the total registered FDI capital reached US$34.5 million. The city granted licenses to 21 new projects, a 31.3% increase in number compared to the same period, demonstrating the city's growing attractiveness to international investors.
Capital contribution, share purchase, and equity participation in economic organizations were active with 5 transactions totaling US$5.3 million, a significant increase compared to 4 transactions and US$0.1 million in the same period last year. The increasing trend in the number of projects and capital contributions creates a solid foundation for expanding investment cooperation in the coming months.
Proactive Integration, Affirming a Strategic Vision
In line with the policy of deep and broad international economic integration, within the framework of the World Economic Forum (WEF) Week, Da Nang organized an Investment Promotion Conference with the theme "Da Nang: A New Convergence Point for Green Capital and Digital Finance." Through this event, the city introduced its development vision linked to the green economy and digital transformation trends – ones that are reshaping global investment flows.
Numerous bilateral meetings with international corporations and organizations were held, focusing on the goal of forming an international financial center and building a digital asset ecosystem operating according to transparent and secure standards. Discussions focused on key issues: improving institutions, designing mechanisms for policy testing, developing high-quality human resources, and promoting innovation in the field of financial technology.
Continuing to Enhance the City's Position and Attractiveness
Comrade Tran Van Vu, Director of the Da Nang City Statistics Department, commented: “The initial results achieved have reflected the effectiveness of the policy of selectively attracting investment, prioritizing high-tech sectors, smart cities, and sustainable development that the city has consistently implemented. Policies supporting businesses have been implemented synchronously, contributing to strengthening the confidence of domestic and foreign businesses, gradually enhancing the city's position and investment attractiveness in the new phase”.
With its strategic geo-economic location, increasingly improved infrastructure, and a transparent and open investment environment, Da Nang is gradually asserting itself as a reliable destination for high-quality investment capital. The city leaders' determination to reform and strategic vision are highly appreciated by numerous domestic and foreign investors, who consider them an important foundation for Da Nang to enhance its role and position on the regional financial map in the future.
