Lam Dong is preparing to welcome a new wave of investment capital. Total registered funding is expected to exceed VND 35 trillion. This milestone will take shape at the province’s 2025 Investment Promotion Conference on October 12.

At the event, Lam Dong will grant investment approval for nine key projects. These approvals highlight rising investor confidence and strong expectations for the province’s long-term growth.

The conference will take place in a hybrid format, combining in-person and online participation. In addition, Vietnamese–English interpretation will support both domestic and international delegates. Under the theme “Lam Dong: Unlocking Potential, Elevating Position,” the event aims to present a clear, open, and investor-friendly policy environment.

Strategic Vision for a New Development Phase

A key focus of the conference will be Lam Dong’s new spatial development strategy for 2025–2030. This strategy targets a diversified and resilient economic structure. Priority sectors include processing and manufacturing, urban economy and logistics, tourism and services, renewable energy, and high-tech agriculture.

Notably, provincial leaders view this shift as a move beyond traditional growth drivers. Instead, Lam Dong aims to build a modern, multi-sector economic hub. By linking industry with logistics, clean energy, and advanced agriculture, the province seeks to raise productivity and strengthen value chains. As a result, sustainable growth will gain stronger momentum in the coming decade.

Strong Pipeline of Investment Projects

Beyond the nine approved projects, Lam Dong is calling for investment in 132 additional projects across multiple sectors. This large pipeline reflects the province’s proactive approach to attracting capital. It also shows strong readiness for long-term and large-scale investment.

Previously, Lam Dong announced 40 industrial clusters open for development. These clusters span several thousand hectares across different localities. Their sizes range from large zones of 50–70 hectares to smaller, specialized clusters. Therefore, investors can choose sites that match their production needs. At the same time, this approach supports balanced development across the province.

Integrated Promotion and Business Engagement Activities

In addition to the main conference session, Lam Dong will host a series of side activities. These events aim to strengthen dialogue between authorities and businesses. Exhibitions will showcase provincial planning maps, priority projects, OCOP products, and trade and tourism offerings.

Meanwhile, dedicated spaces will introduce digital transformation solutions. These exhibits highlight efforts to modernize public services and business support systems. Investors will also join site visits and field surveys. As a result, they can better assess infrastructure readiness and local conditions, which helps speed up investment decisions.

Supporting Local Enterprises and Expanding Export Opportunities

Provincial leaders emphasize that the conference is not only about attracting new investment but also about creating opportunities for existing enterprises in Lam Dong to strengthen their brands, expand partnerships, and access export markets. By connecting local businesses with domestic and international investors, the event aims to foster production–consumption linkages and promote the formation of integrated value chains.

The province expects that these linkages will play a crucial role in advancing green growth and sustainable development, particularly in sectors such as renewable energy, high-tech agriculture, and eco-tourism. Lam Dong’s leadership has reaffirmed its commitment to accompanying businesses throughout the investment process, listening to feedback, and promptly addressing challenges to create a stable and predictable business environment.

Following the administrative merger of former Binh Thuan, Lam Dong, and Dak Nong, Lam Dong has become the largest province in Vietnam by area, covering more than 24,000 square kilometers and home to nearly 3.9 million people. This expanded scale provides significant room for long-term planning and large-scale investment projects.

Strategically located between the Central Highlands and the South Central Coast, Lam Dong serves as a vital connector linking production areas with coastal economic zones. The province benefits from a diverse range of natural and economic resources, including bauxite reserves, strong wind and solar energy potential, high-tech agricultural production, and well-established eco-tourism assets.

Crucially, Lam Dong’s development prospects are reinforced by an increasingly synchronized transport infrastructure network. With connections spanning expressways, railways, seaports, and airports, the province is well-positioned to support logistics activities and integrate more deeply into regional and international supply chains.

Outlook for Investment and Sustainable Growth

With nearly 750 delegates expected to attend the conference, including representatives from hundreds of enterprises and international organizations, the 2025 Investment Promotion Conference is set to become a key milestone in Lam Dong’s development journey. The scale and structure of the event underline the province’s determination to attract high-quality investment while maintaining a focus on sustainability, efficiency, and long-term value creation.

As Lam Dong continues to refine its development strategy and investment policies, the province is increasingly viewed as a new growth pole in southern Vietnam. By leveraging its strategic location, abundant resources, and integrated infrastructure, Lam Dong is positioning itself as a compelling destination for investors seeking stable returns and sustainable opportunities in the next phase of Vietnam’s economic development.
