Last night - March 13, Da Nang organized the program "Meeting with Japanese Businesses - Spring 2026". In the context of Da Nang operating the International Financial Center and preparing to deploy Vietnam's first Free Trade Zone, many Japanese businesses are looking for opportunities to expand investment in this city.
The program is organized by the Consulate General of Japan in Da Nang in coordination with the City Department of Foreign Affairs, with the participation of city leaders, the Japanese business community and many Vietnamese businesses cooperating in investment in Japan.
Speaking at the event, Mr. Mori Takero, Japanese Consul General in Da Nang, said that Japan's investment capital in Da Nang has a history of more than 30 years and plays an important role in local economic development. From the first projects such as VIJACHIP invested from 1993 to now, many Japanese businesses are still operating effectively in the city.
In addition to direct investment capital, Japan is also a major ODA partner of Da Nang with many important infrastructure projects such as Hai Van tunnel, Tien Sa port and Da Nang - Quang Ngai expressway. Even during the epidemic period, Japanese businesses continue to expand investment, typically the Mikazuki Resort project has been put into operation.
According to Mr. Mori Takero, after Da Nang city merged with Quang Nam province, the city's development space has been significantly expanded. The official operation of the Da Nang International Financial Center along with the plan to expand direct flights between Japan and Da Nang is expected to create more momentum for economic cooperation.
Da Nang city leaders said that Japan is currently one of the three leading countries in terms of direct investment capital in the locality with 301 projects, total registered capital of more than 1.22 billion USD. In the High-Tech Park and industrial parks of the city alone, there are 69 projects of Japanese businesses with a total capital of about 835 million USD.
In the coming time, Da Nang prioritizes attracting Japanese businesses to invest in fields such as international finance, free trade zones, high-tech industry, semiconductor, artificial intelligence, logistics, high-tech agriculture, education, healthcare and high-quality tourism. The city is committed to continuing to improve the investment environment, creating favorable conditions for Japanese businesses to develop in the long term.
