The Binh Duong Tokyu Urban Residential Area project is the largest project in the locality, with total registered capital of 1.2 billion USD.

The Binh Duong Provincial People’s Committee on May 11 granted an investment licence to the Japanese Dai Nippon Printing – DNP group which specialises in producing and trading printing and packaging machinery and equipment.
