Ha Noi is considered one of the localities with a favorable investment environment for high-tech investors. 

Not only focusing on developing preferential policies for investors, the city is stepping up the completion of industrial parks, especially high-tech parks. 

Many large FDI firms currently investing in Ha Noi have praised the efforts of the city and Viet Nam as a whole to improve the business climate, thus creating favorable conditions for enterprises to develop. 

These FDI groups also affirmed that they would choose Ha Noi as a destination to expand their investment & business activities in the coming years, particularly in the field of high technology.

Last year, despite the heavy impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, Ha Noi still attracted nearly US$4 billion of FDI and VND145 trillion from domestic investors. 

In the 2021-2025 period, the capital sets a target of drawing US$30-40 billion of FDI and disbursing US$20-30 billion. 

To achieve this goal, Ha Noi will work  to attract more investment in economic infrastructure development and in developing and filling hi-tech parks, industrial parks and industrial clusters. 

The city will design a list of investment attraction categories for localities, fields and products, with priority given to projects using high technology.
