  "account": "At the second discussion session of the Vietnam Industrial Property Forum 2026, industrial investors expressed a growing focus on execution capabilities, infrastructure integration, energy security, and project lifecycle support when selecting manufacturing locations. Experts highlighted that Vietnam's competitiveness can no longer be measured solely by scale, cost, or labor costs. Instead, factors such as sustainability, AI, automation, and genuine economic efficiency are now crucial in determining a location's appeal. Vietnam's industrial parks must address challenges related to licensing delays, administrative procedures, and energy infrastructure to strengthen their competitiveness. Industrial real estate advisors emphasized that certainty in execution, operational capabilities, and future-readiness are key factors that manufacturers consider when choosing locations. This includes factors like speed and execution, operational certainty, and future-readiness. As the industrial park model evolves, investors are seeking ready-to-use technical infrastructure, enhanced operational capabilities, and an improved living environment for workers.",
