Điện Biên emerges as rising investment destination

ĐBP - From a locality once facing numerous challenges in natural conditions and socio-economic development, Điện Biên is undergoing a strong transformation with a series of large scale projects approved for investment, opening up new development opportunities. These positive signals reflect the province’s determination and demonstrate the growing confidence of the business community in the historic land of Điện Biên Phủ.

Under Decision No. 699/QD-UBND, Điện Biên province has approved the selection of an investor for the Northwest new urban area, resort tourism, and sports services project located in Điện Biên Phủ ward and Thanh Nưa commune. The project will be implemented by Green City Development Joint Stock Company - owner of Vinhomes under VinGroup - with a total estimated investment of up to VND 23.66 trillion.

Design plan of the Northwestern new urban area, resort tourism, and sports services project.

Covering more than 228.5 hectares and expected to accommodate around 12,000 residents, the project aims to develop a modern, integrated urban area featuring housing, commercial services, healthcare, education, and green spaces.

Notably, an 18-hole international standard golf course spanning nearly 86.9 hectares is expected to become a highlight, attracting high end tourism and enhancing Điện Biên’s position on the Northwest region’s resort map. The project is currently in the site preparation phase and is expected to break ground during the 2026 Điện Biên Investment Promotion Conference.

Overall scale of the project in Điện Biên Phủ ward and Thanh Nưa commune.

Investment attraction efforts in Điện Biên have also seen active participation from small and medium sized enterprises, contributing to a more diversified investment ecosystem.

Built on an area of over 4,000 square meters with a total investment exceeding VND 40 billion, Hoa Ba Tuần Giáo Supermarket officially came into operation in January 2026. With three modern floors, each covering nearly 1,300 square meters, it has quickly become a convenient and modern shopping destination for local residents.

Nguyễn Chí Ba, General Director of Hoa Ba Education and Trading Services Co., Ltd., shared that strong support from local authorities and the provincial People’s Committee was key to the project’s timely completion.

Thanks to supportive policies, Hoa Ba Tuần Giáo Supermarket was completed and put into operation in early 2026.

After more than 11 months of intensive construction, the supermarket is now operational with tens of thousands of products meeting essential consumer needs. In addition to business activities, it creates stable jobs for local workers and serves as a distribution point for agricultural products, helping increase farmers’ incomes and promote production.

The new urban area and airport walking street project at Mường Thanh, invested by Đức Hải Điện Biên Co., Ltd., is another clear example of the province’s investment appeal. Launched in September 2025, the project covers nearly 7.6 hectares with a total investment of nearly VND 700 billion. It boasts a prime location near Điện Biên Phủ Airport and major historical sites. Oriented as the province’s first digital urban area, the project harmoniously combines modern living spaces with green elements, contributing to improved urban quality.

In September 2025, Đức Hải Điện Biên Co., Ltd. launched the Mường Thanh airport urban area and walking street project.

Nguyễn Văn Đức, Director of Đức Hải Điện Biên Co., Ltd., affirmed that the project plays an important role in urban renewal and improving living standards. The company is committed to mobilizing maximum resources to ensure progress and quality.

He emphasized that open policies and strong support from provincial authorities have built significant confidence for businesses investing in the locality. This demonstrates that Điện Biên offers a transparent, friendly, and highly potential investment environment.

In recent years, Điện Biên has continuously improved its business and investment climate by simplifying administrative procedures, strengthening dialogue with enterprises, and proactively addressing difficulties. Authorities at all levels accompany investors from project planning to implementation and operation, helping shorten procedures, reduce costs, and create favorable conditions.

With strong tourism potential, Điện Biên offers opportunities for resort, historical, and eco-tourism investments.

Điện Biên possesses many untapped potentials, particularly in tourism, agriculture, and services. With its natural landscapes and rich historical and cultural values, the province has strong prospects for developing resort, historical, and eco-tourism. Combined with abundant land resources and a large workforce, these factors make it attractive to both domestic and foreign investors.

In the context of integration and competition among localities, Điện Biên’s success in attracting large scale, high impact projects is a positive sign. It contributes to economic growth and creates momentum for further infrastructure development, human resource improvement, and enhanced living standards.

The alignment of government support, business confidence, and inherent local potential is creating a strong appeal, positioning Điện Biên as a highly promising investment destination.
