The Call for More Major U.S. Investment Pushes Industrial Real Estate Growth in Vietnam

Vietnam is sending a strong message to American businesses: now is the time to deepen commitment and scale up investment. During a dialogue in New York on September 23, President Lương Cường called on U.S. corporations, including giants like Amazon, Apple, Boeing, Meta, and Coca-Cola, to seize opportunity, broaden presence, and invest more significantly in Vietnam

This call comes not just as diplomatic theater, but as a concrete positioning of Vietnam’s intent to attract higher-quality, long-term foreign direct investment (FDI). The government pledges to create the most favorable conditions for U.S. investors, signaling a strategic premium on stability, transparency, and depth of engagement.

What the President’s Call Signals

1. Strategic positioning for deeper ties

Vietnam has already signed 17 free trade agreements (FTAs) and built connections with over 60 global economies. The trade volume with the U.S. has grown substantially in 2024, bilateral trade reached nearly USD 140 billion. The recent appeal reinforces that economic cooperation and investment will be pillars of the Vietnam–U.S. relationship going forward.

2. The vision of long-term, not short-term engagement

The President’s message is clear: the government wants not just token projects but deep, enduring investment. U.S. firms are asked to view Vietnam not just as a manufacturing base today, but as a strategic hub for decades.

3. Institutional readiness & reform momentum

To support more ambitious investment, Vietnam is advancing reforms — from local administration restructuring, legal updates in investment/land laws, to pushes for e-government, digitalization, and innovation. This structural backing is crucial for sustaining investor confidence.

Why This Matters for Industrial Real Estate

One of the most forward-looking elements of the decree is the proposed creation of centralized digital technology parks. These hubs are designed to:

• Connect R&D with commercialization and incubation.
• Support the growth of digital enterprises.
• Provide incentives for high-level talent, including PIT exemptions for qualified experts.

This model mirrors successful international tech ecosystems, positioning Vietnam to attract not just manufacturers, but also global innovators.

Why This Matters for Industrial Real Estate

As large global corporations consider scaling their Vietnam footprint, the industrial real estate sector faces new demands:

• Scale & sophistication: U.S. firms operate global operations. They will expect large, efficient factories and logistics setups — not just basic warehouses.
• Infrastructure & connectivity: Seamless transport, power, digital connectivity, and utility resilience become non-negotiable.
• Standards & expectations: International investors demand ESG compliance, quality construction, managed operations, and reliable service.
• Longer tenure & strategic tenancy: When U.S. firms commit at scale, leases, expansions, and facility upgrades follow — giving industrial developers more stable, higher-value relationships.

Looking Ahead: From Call to Commitment

The President’s appeal provides a directional signal: Vietnam is stepping into a higher-tier investment environment. But the real test will be in execution: how many U.S. firms back these words with real capital, how fast infrastructure upgrades happen, and how well industrial developers can respond.
