On 20/8, the Hanoi People's Committee issued Official Dispatch No. 4697/UBND-KT regarding the implementation of Resolution No. 17/2025/NQ-HDND on attracting strategic investors.
Previously, on 9/7, the Hanoi People's Council passed Resolution No. 17/2025/NQ-HDND, which regulates the attraction of strategic investors under the Capital Law. The resolution clearly defines the list of prioritized sectors and capital requirements for strategic investment projects.
In the high-tech sector, prioritized industries include semiconductor integrated circuit manufacturing, component manufacturing, integrated circuit (IC) chips, printed electronics, semiconductor chips, new battery technologies, new materials, clean energy, and renewable energy. The minimum capital requirement for these projects is 15,000 billion VND or more.
The city also encourages the development and manufacturing of locomotives, carriages, signaling systems, railway control systems, urban traffic control systems, and smart city technologies, with a capital scale of 10,000 billion VND or more.
Hanoi also emphasizes the construction of innovation centers and research and development (R&D) centers. These are considered vital links in the high-tech ecosystem, with an investment capital requirement of 3,000 billion VND or more. Research projects and technology transfer support in information technology, biology, automation, new materials, and clean energy are also encouraged, with a minimum capital requirement of 500 billion VND.

In infrastructure, the resolution prioritizes investment in satellite city construction, urban railway development, large-scale intra-regional and inter-regional public transport systems, and high-tech parks. These projects must have a capital scale of 25,000 billion VND or more, with investors possessing charter capital of 5,000 billion VND or total assets of 20,000 billion VND. The accompanying condition is experience and technology commensurate with the project scale.
Environmental treatment and high-tech agriculture are also included in the list. Environmental treatment projects must have a capital of 12,000 billion VND, while high-tech agriculture requires a minimum capital of 2,000 billion VND. Investors must demonstrate financial capacity with charter capital of 2,400 billion VND or more for environmental projects and 400 billion VND for high-tech agriculture projects.
According to the resolution, priority will be given to investors who possess both financial capacity and the technology and experience in implementing similar projects at a comparable scale. The high capital thresholds for each sector reflect the goal of selecting capable strategic investors, avoiding stalled projects and small-scale investments that do not meet long-term development requirements.
