Da Nang has approved a plan to implement tasks in a coordinated, unified, and efficient manner, with a focus on attracting strategic investors to the Da Nang Free Trade Zone and developing functional-area infrastructure alongside the attraction of primary and secondary enterprises.
Deputy Chairman of the Da Nang People’s Committee, Trần Chí Cường, signed Plan No. 192/KH-UBND to carry out the scheme “Attracting strategic investors to invest in functional-area infrastructure and attracting enterprises to the Da Nang Free Trade Zone.”
The plan aims to synchronize implementation efforts, focusing on attracting strategic investors to develop infrastructure in functional zones while concurrently bringing in primary and secondary enterprises. The city will link the process closely with Plan No. 146/KH-UBND dated March 26, 2026 on the establishment of the Da Nang Free Trade Zone to avoid overlap and duplication.
Da Nang’s plan highlights several core tasks, including:
The Da Nang High-Tech Park and Industrial Zones Authority (DSEZA) is assigned to lead key deliverables on the investor database and smart management system.
Da Nang will prioritize removing obstacles and supporting infrastructure investors to implement projects in areas where land has been cleared. The city targets the formation of a clean land fund with synchronized infrastructure during 2026–2028 to improve conditions for attracting investment.
The plan also includes implementing decentralization and delegation under Resolution 259/2025/QH15. This is intended to ensure DSEZA has full authority over investment, land, planning, construction, environment, and operation of functional zones according to an appropriate schedule. The delegation document is expected to be completed by Q3 2026.
For selecting strategic investors, Da Nang will establish scoring criteria and form a review council in cases where two or more investors register for the same site. The criteria will cover financial capacity, experience in infrastructure development, ability to attract secondary investors, operation and management plans, schedule commitments, and project effectiveness.
Da Nang plans to intensify investment promotion through a targeted approach, including:
The city will continue implementing measures to improve incentives, establish a “one-stop, at-site” coordination mechanism, invest in strategically connected transport infrastructure, expand economic diplomacy, accelerate land clearance, review and adjust planning, develop specialized human resources, and ensure security and order in the Da Nang Free Trade Zone.
