   4. 1. 

         At the Da Nang Finance and Technology Week 2025 on August 28, during the panel “Connecting Vietnam’s International Financial Center with the Global Financial Network,” Phan Đức Trung — Chairman of the Vietnam Blockchain and Digital Assets Association and 1Matrix — outlined two crucial pillars for developing Vietnam’s blockchain–fintech ecosystem: adopting regulatory technology (regtech) and cultivating a high-quality talent pool to drive innovation and industry growth.

          

         He further suggested that Da Nang, as a rising regional hub, could promote an offshore business model by encouraging foreign enterprises to establish representative offices in Vietnam, with Vietnamese legal representatives. According to Mr. Trung, this strategy would attract global companies, generate job opportunities for skilled professionals, and increase foreign currency inflows into the city. This vision positions Da Nang as a potential leader in fostering a dynamic fintech and blockchain ecosystem, driving both economic growth and international collaboration.

2. Foreign Investment Flows Into Industrial Real Estate.

Vietnam’s industrial real estate sector continues to attract strong foreign direct investment (FDI) as global manufacturers and technology firms expand their land portfolios and establish new projects. Notable investments include Avery Dennison Worldon Vietnam’s newly launched factory in Ho Chi Minh City and planned R&D centers by Korean and Chinese enterprises in Da Nang. In August, Dutch developer CTP also announced intentions to invest €1 billion in Vietnam, with a focus on eco-friendly, high-tech industrial zones in Hung Yen and Gia Lai. From January to August, registered FDI reached USD 26.1 billion, up 27% year-on-year, with nearly 37% allocated to manufacturing and processing.

According to industry experts, Vietnam’s strategic location, rapid infrastructure development, and the China+1 shift are driving multinational corporations to choose the country as a production and logistics hub. High-profile investors such as Samsung, Intel, LG, and Nike have already fueled the ecosystem, creating jobs and increasing demand for green, ESG-compliant factories. Rental prices in both northern and southern regions have risen steadily, reflecting the sector’s strong momentum. With sustainable industrial parks filling quickly and ongoing government reforms streamlining approvals, Vietnam is solidifying its position as a premier destination for global industrial real estate investment.

3. Da Nang City Government About Considering Investment In The Da Nang – Hoi An Urban Railway Project.

1. 1. 

      On September 10, 2025, Deputy Chair of Da Nang People’s Committee, Lê Quang Nam, chaired a meeting with Đèo Cả Group to discuss a proposed urban railway connecting Da Nang and Hoi An. The project, planned under a Public–Private Partnership (PPP) framework and based on the Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) model, aims to integrate urban growth with transit infrastructure, ensuring efficient land use and long-term financial sustainability. Technical studies recommend MRT and Monorail options as the most suitable for the region’s terrain and investment feasibility, with completion targeted by 2030 and potential future extensions to Tam Ky and Chu Lai.

       

      The project will be implemented in three stages—preliminary, mid-term, and final—with each phase requiring approval from the People’s Committee. Collaboration between the investor and city agencies will focus on TOD zoning, counterpart land allocation, and budget planning. The city emphasized transparent investor selection and legal compliance, recognizing the careful groundwork by Đèo Cả Group and affirming the railway as a key priority for regional development.

4. Ministry Of Construction Proposes To Amend Regulations On Granting Construction Permits, Maximum Of Only 7 Days.

1. 1. 

      The Ministry of Construction is seeking feedback on the draft amended Construction Law, proposing significant reforms to simplify building permit procedures. The key change is the “one-time control” principle: from preparation to construction commencement, only one administrative procedure is required, with permits issued in a maximum of seven days. Projects subject to specialized appraisal, such as large-scale, PPP, or public investment projects, would not require permits. For other projects, permits will be managed online with simplified documentation, ensuring compliance with zoning and land use. Design consultants will bear greater responsibility for safety, while authorities will verify compliance. The draft outlines three types of permits—new construction, renovation/relocation, and temporary permits—with conditions tied to planning, land use, safety, and environmental protection.

The Da Nang People’s Committee has approved Phase 1 of the “River of Light” project, an artistic lighting initiative with a budget of approximately 149 billion VND, scheduled from 2025 to 2027. This phase will introduce new decorative lighting for Nguyễn Văn Trỗi Bridge and architectural lighting for Tiên Sơn Bridge, while also upgrading artistic illumination on Thuận Phước, Sông Hàn, Rồng, and Trần Thị Lý Bridges. The project will feature skylight-inspired effects, including four laser beams projecting skyward from the bridges, eight laser beams illuminating the water surface, and a central control system capable of managing programmed lighting scenarios.

Looking ahead, Phase 2 will extend the lighting design to both riverbanks, from Trần Thị Lý Bridge to Thuận Phước Bridge, with additional upgrades to railings and repairs of damaged sections. Managed by the Da Nang Construction & Infrastructure Investment Project Management Board, this landmark project aims to enhance the nighttime beauty of the Han River, highlight the city’s iconic bridges, and reinforce Da Nang’s image as a vibrant, modern urban destination.
