Phu Tho Positions Itself at the Forefront of the New Generation of FDI: Strategic Insights from the 2026 Conference on Enhancing Capacity for New-Generation FDI Investment Promotion

In an effort to reshape investment promotion approaches and strengthen competitiveness amid the profound restructuring of global supply chains, on August 28, 2026, the People’s Committee of Phu Tho Province, in coordination with the Investment Promotion and Business Support Center, successfully organized the Conference on Enhancing Capacity for New-Generation FDI Investment Promotion.

The conference was attended by representatives of provincial departments and agencies, as well as officials in charge of investment promotion at communes and wards across the province. Representatives of industrial park infrastructure developers, businesses, and other relevant stakeholders also participated in the event.

As a leading industrial infrastructure developer and a long-standing partner in the province’s development, Phu My Group attended the conference and gained valuable insights into the key orientations and messages shaping the next phase of FDI attraction. This article highlights the conference’s key takeaways and explores strategic approaches for businesses and investors in the new investment landscape.

A Breakthrough Driven by Resolution No. 10-NQ/TW: A Strategic Shift in FDI Attraction for 2026–2030

Opening the conference, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Dao Hoang Tan from the Academy of Policy and Development provided an in-depth analysis of the global geopolitical and economic landscape. As international supply chains undergo increasingly rigorous restructuring, Vietnam is facing both significant opportunities and considerable challenges.

In particular, the spirit of Resolution No. 10-NQ/TW for the 2026–2030 period was highlighted as a strategic guideline for the next phase of investment development. Vietnam is entering a new era in which the focus is shifting from simply “attracting investment capital” to “creating value,” with investment quality and connectivity becoming the key benchmarks.

Practical Lessons: How “Anchor Investors” Can Build Entire Industrial Ecosystems

During the second thematic session, Mr. Nguyen Quang Vinh – Specialist at the Foreign Investment Agency, Ministry of Finance, highlighted important new developments under Resolution No. 10-NQ/TW, issued by the Politburo on June 8, 2026, on enhancing the effectiveness of investment promotion.

One of the most compelling practical lessons discussed was the experience of a locality that successfully attracted Meco, a large multinational corporation. Meco’s investment not only generated significant direct investment value but, more importantly, created a powerful multiplier effect by attracting a network of Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers.

This demonstrates how successfully attracting a major “anchor investor” can serve as a catalyst for the development of an entire industrial ecosystem, creating new opportunities for investment and sustainable economic growth across the region.

Strengthening Competitiveness: Supply Chains, ESG Standards and Infrastructure

At the third thematic session, Mr. Pham Ngoc Long – Deputy General Director of Ernst & Young Vietnam (EY), raised two strategic questions for local authorities and industrial infrastructure developers:

What is the locality’s unique success story?
Why would a foreign investor choose Phu Tho rather than another destination?

To answer these questions, the EY representative highlighted several critical factors.

The Power of Integrated Supply Chains and ESG Standards

Today, ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) is no longer a “nice-to-have” criterion. It has increasingly become a fundamental requirement for multinational corporations when evaluating investment destinations in Vietnam.

Industrial parks equipped with green infrastructure, effective emissions-reduction solutions, high environmental standards, and strong supply-chain connectivity will have a significant competitive advantage in attracting high-quality FDI.

For industrial infrastructure developers, this means that competitiveness is no longer determined solely by land availability or rental costs. Instead, investors are increasingly evaluating the overall quality, sustainability and connectivity of the industrial ecosystem.

Power Infrastructure in Industrial Parks: Is Further Investment Expansion Necessary?

Another critical issue openly discussed at the conference was the potential risk of localized power shortages in certain industrial parks, which could directly affect continuous production operations of FDI enterprises.

This raises an important strategic question for both local authorities and industrial infrastructure developers:

How can energy security be ensured so that investors can confidently expand their production capacity without worrying about operational disruptions?

The “Necessary and Sufficient” Conditions for Attracting Japanese and Korean Investors

The EY representative also summarized the key factors influencing investment decisions by highly selective investors from Japan and South Korea.

Essential Conditions:

• Synchronized and well-connected transportation infrastructure
• Large areas of readily available industrial land
• Transparent and efficient legal and administrative procedures

Value-Adding Conditions:

• Stable and uninterrupted power and water supply
• ESG-compliant and environmentally sustainable industrial infrastructure
• Access to a high-quality local workforce
• Long-term support and partnership from both local authorities and industrial park developers

Together, these factors form a comprehensive investment proposition capable of meeting the increasingly sophisticated requirements of next-generation FDI investors.
