With the theme “Enterprises Going Global,” the evaluation criteria for the Vietnam Strong Brand Program 2025 focused on enterprises with outstanding achievements in production, business, trade, and services; strong promotion of green investment and sustainable development; contributions to community and local growth; and alignment with Vietnam’s high-growth objectives for this year and the years to come.

Based on the survey results, this year’s program announced the following categories of recognition: Top 10 Vietnam Strong Brands; Top 10 Rising Strong Brands among the Top 10 Outstanding Business Brands; Top 10 Trusted Brands; Top 10 Innovation Pioneer Brands; Top 10 Impressive Growth Brands; Top 10 Green Growth Brands; and Top 10 Sustainable Development Brands.

“The participating enterprises this year are highly diverse, including state-owned enterprises, domestic private companies, and foreign-invested enterprises. This diversity is also reflected in their industries, ranging from agriculture, processing, manufacturing, and technology to services and trade", Dao Quang Binh emphasized.

He also noted that the recognition of diverse enterprises and award categories in the Vietnam Strong Brand Program 2025 demonstrates a significant shift in how enterprises are evaluated, not only based on scale or profitability, but also on sustainable values, innovation capacity, social contributions, and international expansion potential.

Launched in 2003, the Vietnam Strong Brand Program has become the largest annual event organized by Vietnam Economic Times (VnEconomy) for the community of Vietnamese enterprises and foreign-invested enterprises operating in Vietnam.

Over more than 20 years of accompanying the Vietnamese business community, the Vietnam Strong Brand Program has continuously contributed positively to local and national economic development while strengthening business connectivity, fostering economic and cultural exchanges, and providing a platform for sharing experiences in production, business, and brand development.

In the coming years, the Vietnam Strong Brand Program will continue to accompany enterprises on their path of development and integration. Beyond recognition, the program will expand its activities to include networking, strategic consulting, trade promotion, and brand communication to support enterprises in enhancing competitiveness and keeping pace with emerging trends such as digital transformation, green growth, and innovation.

According to Dao Quang Binh, Vice Chairman of the Editorial Council of Vietnam Economic Times, the Vietnam Strong Brand Program will continue to foster the Go Global spirit and contribute to the development of a program of 1,000 exemplary enterprises pioneering in science, technology, innovation, digital transformation, green transformation, and high-tech industries, in line with the objectives set forth in Resolution 68/NQ-TW and Resolution 57/NQ-TW.
