On May 12, at a business meeting focused on the science and technology sector in Bac Ninh Province, Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Chi Dung and provincial leaders awarded investment certificates to seven prominent enterprises, with total registered capital surpassing 856 million USD.

The certified and adjusted investment projects involve the following companies: Gilimex Bac Ninh Industrial Park Co., Ltd.; Kinh Bac City Development Holding Corporation; H2T Bac Ninh Co., Ltd.; Samsung Display Vietnam Co., Ltd.; Fushan Technology (Vietnam) Co., Ltd.; JIAZE HOLDING Limited (Hong Kong, China); and Amphenol Holding SG.

Among these, three domestic investors are developing industrial park infrastructure projects, with total capital of approximately 4.182 trillion VND (about 167 million USD).

Two foreign investors were granted new investment certificates totaling 50 million USD, while two other companies received adjusted certificates reflecting a capital increase of 639.1 million USD.

With total capital over 856 million USD, these seven newly licensed projects represent nearly 36% of Bac Ninh’s total investment of 2.4 billion USD in the first four months of 2025. This outcome is expected to significantly contribute to the province's economic development.

During the ceremony, Chairman of Bac Ninh People’s Committee Vuong Quoc Tuan emphasized the importance of this event, particularly in the context of nationwide efforts to implement Politburo Resolution 57 on breakthroughs in science, technology, innovation, and digital transformation, as well as Resolution 68 on the development of the private economy.

“Our consistent viewpoint in Bac Ninh is that private enterprises, especially in science and technology, must become a driving force in innovation, high-tech applications, and sustainable value creation,” he said.

According to Chairman Tuan, the province’s science and technology private sector has grown rapidly, with many businesses boldly investing in research and development (R&D) and applying emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), digital technology, biotechnology, and automation.

These efforts have played a crucial role in modernizing production, increasing labor productivity, and advancing Bac Ninh’s knowledge-based economy.

As of 2024, Bac Ninh is home to 24,877 businesses with total registered charter capital nearing 430.451 trillion VND and 6,610 affiliated units. On average, the province has 16 businesses per 1,000 people, equivalent to a 1.6% business density.

Bac Ninh has emerged as one of Vietnam’s top FDI destinations, driven by its strategic location near Hanoi, advanced industrial infrastructure, and favorable investment climate.

By 2025, the province hosts over 2,400 FDI projects with total registered capital exceeding 31 billion USD. Key sectors attracting FDI include electronics, semiconductors, industrial real estate, digital technology, and supporting industries.

Major global investors like Samsung, Foxconn, and Amphenol have established large-scale operations, making Bac Ninh a critical hub for high-tech manufacturing and export-driven growth.
