Ningbo, China – From October 26 to 30, 2026, as part of its investment promotion program in Zhejiang Province, China, IDICO Corporation – JSC (IDICO) hosted the Vietnam–China Entrepreneurs Exchange Conference in Ningbo. The conference brought together leaders of departments and agencies from Dong Thap Province, presidents of chambers of commerce in Ningbo, representatives of organizations and business partners, and approximately 200 local businesses.

In collaboration with partners in China and Vietnam, the conference aimed to introduce Vietnam’s investment environment and IDICO’s capabilities in developing an integrated industrial ecosystem, while providing businesses with an opportunity to exchange information, explore investment needs and identify potential investment cooperation opportunities.

Dong Thap Expands Investment Cooperation Opportunities with Chinese Businesses

At the conference, the Head of the Dong Thap Economic Zone Management Board presented the province’s investment potential and competitive advantages, particularly its strategic location as a gateway to the Mekong Delta, abundant agricultural and aquaculture resources, and connectivity with Ho Chi Minh City, Can Tho and neighboring areas. The province is prioritizing investment in industrial park infrastructure, agricultural and aquaculture processing, supporting industries, logistics, and modern, energy-efficient manufacturing.

Among the key projects introduced, IDICO Tan Phuoc 1 Industrial Park is a highlighted one, covering 470 hectares and expected to be ready to receive investment projects from the first quarter of 2027. The provincial representative also reaffirmed the local government's commitment to supporting investors through planning information, administrative procedures, resolution of difficulties, and access to investment incentives in accordance with regulations.

From the perspective of the Chinese business community, the Chairman of the Shandong Chamber of Commerce in Ningbo highlighted the potential for economic and trade cooperation between Ningbo and Dong Thap. He emphasized opportunities to build on Ningbo businesses' manufacturing capabilities and supply chains, alongside Dong Thap's strengths in agricultural and aquaculture resources, while expressing his expectation for greater business exchanges and cooperation between the two sides.

IDICO's Industrial Ecosystem and the Investment Advantages of IDICO Tan Phuoc 1 Industrial Park

Building on the cooperation potential and investment needs discussed at the conference, IDICO recognized that businesses expanding into Vietnam require not only industrial land and production infrastructure, but also an integrated ecosystem of solutions. With more than 25 years of experience in industrial park development and operation, IDICO presented its capabilities and industrial ecosystem built around four strategic pillars: industrial real estate, energy, industrial park services, and housing and urban development.

IDICO currently operates 14 industrial parks across Northern and Southern Vietnam, covering more than 4,500 hectares. Its portfolio serves over 400 domestic and international businesses and has attracted more than USD 9 billion in investment. IDICO's product offerings include industrial land, ready-built factories and warehouses, and data centers, catering to diverse business requirements and operational models.

Within its investment promotion portfolio, IDICO Tan Phuoc 1 Industrial Park is a key project in the Mekong Delta, envisioned as an integrated consumer goods manufacturing ecosystem that leverages the region's abundant agricultural and aquaculture resources. Priority sectors are consumer goods, food processing and textiles, including dyeing and finishing operations. Eligible new investment projects may qualify for corporate income tax incentives in accordance with applicable regulations, including a preferential tax rate of 10% for 15 years, tax exemption for up to four years and a 50% reduction of tax payable for up to the subsequent nine years. The industrial park is planned with integrated technical infrastructure, featuring a power substation, a water supply plant, a wastewater treatment plant and energy solutions, which are directly invested in and operated by member companies within the IDICO ecosystem.

Beyond infrastructure, IDICO also develops business support solutions through a network of partners in finance, construction and human resources. For this program, IDICO was accompanied by its partners Techcombank, CTBC Bank, KPMG and Ascentium. As an industrial park developer and operator, IDICO brings practical insights into industrial infrastructure, production requirements and business support services in Vietnam.

Connecting Ningbo Businesses with Investment Opportunities in Vietnam

As part of the investment promotion program, organized in collaboration with the Alliance of Chambers of Commerce in Ningbo, IDICO held direct meetings with numerous Ningbo-based businesses interested in the Vietnamese market, including companies operating in mechanical components, data centers, medical equipment and textiles, with the participation of the Dong Thap provincial delegation. Discussions focused on business expansion strategies, investment needs and the specific requirements of each business.

Through these engagements, IDICO seeks to better understand market potential and business needs while progressively expanding cooperation opportunities with prospective partners. These efforts go beyond attracting new projects, contributing to stronger economic linkages, mobilizing resources for industrial development and fostering economic cooperation in the localities where IDICO operates.
