What Becamex does

Becamex (Tập đoàn Đầu tư và Phát triển Công nghiệp Becamex - CTCP) is a Vietnamese state-owned industrial real estate developer founded in 1995, operating as a joint stock company headquartered in Ho Chi Minh City and closely aligned with Bình Dương province. The company develops and manages 30 industrial zones across 15 of Vietnam's 34 provinces and operates the VSIP (Vietnam-Singapore Industrial Park) platform through a long-standing joint venture with Singapore's Sembcorp Industries, which spans 22 projects covering approximately 12,000 hectares and hosts over 1,000 tenants from 30 countries with US$23.4 billion in cumulative investment. Becamex serves multinational manufacturers and domestic industrial companies seeking turnkey production infrastructure in Vietnam, with named customers including LEGO Group, Ecco, Cicor, Coherent, and Pandora.

The company's core offering is an integrated industrial ecosystem rather than standalone land leasing. Becamex develops ready-built factories and warehouses (RBF/RBW via BWID), operates shared infrastructure including five ABB 110/22kV transformer substations and 309.2 MWp of solar capacity with battery energy storage at Cây Trường, and provides telecommunications and ICT (VNTT), supply chain and trade facilitation (WTC BDNC), energy solutions (BVP and VSSES), and workforce training (EIU - Eastern International University). The innovation layer comprises the Vietnam-Singapore Innovation Center (VSIC), Block71 Saigon (with NUS Enterprise), the Becamex R&D Institute, the Industry 4.0 Innovation Center (IIC), and a forthcoming Microelectronics Research Center with Germany's Fraunhofer ENAS. The company is also Vietnam's first developer of a World Bank-aligned Ecological Industrial Park under the EIP 2.0 framework.

Becamex generates revenue primarily through long-term industrial land and factory leases (multi-year recurring contracts), supplemented by residential real estate development including social housing (10,000 completed apartments serving 27,000 residents and 37,000 worker housing units for 92,000 laborers), and professional services from innovation centers and R&D facilities. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting multinational manufacturers, supported by government-facilitated investment promotion and the Sembcorp VSIP international network. The company has held the #1 rank in Vietnam's Top 10 Industrial Real Estate Companies for five consecutive years (2021-2025) per Vietnam Report.
