As 2025 begins, Vietnam’s economy is showing positive signs, with standout indicators such as an estimated GDP growth of over 7% and total import-export turnover reaching around USD 800 billion. Amid this increasingly dynamic investment environment, Dong Nai continues to affirm its position as an attractive destination for both domestic and foreign investors. Seizing this opportunity, KTG Industrial has taken the lead by launching a large-scale project at Nhon Trach 1 Industrial Park, turning the province’s investment potential into reality in this key southern region.
Dong Nai – A Prime Investment Destination in Southern Vietnam
In 2024, Dong Nai recorded remarkable economic results, attracting USD 1.5 billion in foreign direct investment (FDI) – exceeding its target by 36% and increasing by 7–8 times compared to the previous year. Thanks to its strategic location near Ho Chi Minh City, Cat Lai Port, Long Thanh International Airport, and major expressways, Dong Nai offers outstanding connectivity within the southern key economic region.
In addition to transport and logistics infrastructure, Dong Nai is naturally endowed with a mild climate, rarely affected by extreme weather events such as storms and floods – making it highly suitable for sustainable industrial development. The province also invests in a synchronized social infrastructure system, creating a favorable living and working environment for workers. The local authorities proactively support enterprises in developing facilities for professionals and laborers.
Another key competitive advantage lies in its young, dynamic, and skilled labor force. With approximately 1.9 million people of working age – accounting for around 62% of the population – Dong Nai can fully meet large-scale recruitment demands in sectors such as industry, services, and high-tech.
Possessing all the elements of favorable timing, geography, and human resources, Dong Nai is and will continue to be an ideal investment destination, contributing to the sustainable growth of the southern economic region.

Khai Toan Group offers its support to communities in Dong Nai province
At the certificate handover ceremony, Khai Toan Group – the parent company of KTG Industrial – demonstrated its social responsibility by contributing to Dong Nai Province’s Charity Fund on the occasion of Lunar New Year. This initiative is part of the group’s sustainable development strategy and ESG (Environmental – Social – Governance) policy, contributing to improving the quality of life in the local community.
Actively engaging in community-oriented initiatives not only reflects the company’s social responsibility but also affirms its philosophy of balancing economic benefits with human values – a principle Khai Toan Group consistently upholds throughout its investment journey.
