Vietnam is changing how it attracts foreign investors, moving from a focus on large capital inflows to a priority on quality, efficiency and added value. This shift could shape future jobs and business chances in the country.

Deputy Finance Minister Le Tan Can said the new policy asks investors not only to bring money, but also to work with Vietnam on research, creation and technology development. The aim is to build higher‑value projects rather than just big‑size investments.

Can explained that global geopolitical uncertainties and the worldwide push for green transition, sustainable development and new technology make high‑tech and clean‑energy projects especially attractive for Vietnam. These trends guide the country’s new investment focus.

The government’s long‑term vision is to become a developed, high‑income nation by 2045. To reach that goal, Vietnam plans to transform its growth model by stressing productivity, science, technology, innovation and digital transformation, according to Can.

Can said Resolution No. 10 of the Politburo confirms that the foreign‑invested sector remains a key part of the economy and will be supported for long‑term, fair competition. It promises equal footing and healthy competition for foreign investors.

In short, Vietnam’s shift toward quality, technology co‑development and strategic partnerships is designed to create a more productive, innovative economy and to meet its 2045 high‑income ambition. Investors who join this path can benefit from a growing, resilient market.
