VietinBank will host Vietnam Connect Forum 2026 in Ho Chi Minh City on November 17, bringing together foreign direct investment (FDI) enterprises, investors and domestic and international organizations to discuss investment and tax policies, economic prospects and business cooperation opportunities in Viet Nam.

VietinBank as a comprehensive strategic partner for FDI enterprises

Viet Nam is increasingly emerging as a strategic destination in the investment and supply chain restructuring plans of international corporations. However, attracting new investment is only one part of the equation. For enterprises already operating in the country, the next priority is to strengthen their operations, expand into new markets, optimize resources and establish sustainable competitive advantages.

Achieving these objectives requires more than capital. Businesses need a comprehensive understanding of the market, timely access to policy updates, relevant resources and a network of partners capable of supporting their development strategies. More importantly, these elements must be brought together in a coordinated manner to translate opportunities into tangible business outcomes.

This is the approach VietinBank is pursuing in its support for the FDI community, positioning itself as a comprehensive strategic partner that accompanies enterprises from their day-to-day operations to their long-term development and expansion plans in Viet Nam.

As one of Viet Nam's leading commercial banks, VietinBank is committed to building strong, long-term relationships with FDI enterprises. Its role extends beyond the provision of financial and banking solutions to facilitating access to information, connecting businesses with relevant resources and creating opportunities for cooperation within Viet Nam's business ecosystem.

In financial services, VietinBank offers a diverse portfolio of solutions, including working capital financing, cash management, domestic and international payments, trade finance and specialized banking services. These solutions help businesses strengthen financial management, optimize cash flows and improve operational efficiency.

In terms of market intelligence and policy information, VietinBank focuses on providing timely updates, sharing relevant insights and connecting enterprises with experts, advisory organizations and specialized service providers. This support enables businesses to gain a deeper understanding of the operating environment, identify potential opportunities and proactively adapt to policy developments.

Leveraging its domestic and international network, VietinBank also facilitates connections between enterprises and potential business partners, service providers and other resources essential to their operations and investment expansion.

Through this integrated approach, VietinBank aims to establish itself as a trusted partner, bringing together diverse resources to help businesses address immediate operational requirements while navigating the challenges and opportunities emerging at every stage of their development.

Expanding market insights and connecting business resources

Reflecting this comprehensive partnership approach, VietinBank is organizing Vietnam Connect Forum 2026 to provide a platform for FDI enterprises, investors and domestic and international organizations to exchange perspectives, gain timely market insights and explore new cooperation opportunities.

The Forum is expected to welcome nearly 300 representatives from FDI enterprises, investors and domestic and international organizations. Its agenda will focus on issues with direct implications for business operations and investment strategies in Viet Nam.

Discussions will cover investment policy orientations and the business environment, alongside developments in corporate income tax, value-added tax, personal income tax, tax administration, investment incentives and support policies. Experts will also share assessments of the economic outlook in Viet Nam and globally, international trade developments, interest rate trends, foreign exchange movements and investment flow dynamics.

The Forum will feature remarks from Bui Thu Thuy, Deputy Director of the Foreign Investment Agency under the Ministry of Finance; Nguyen Thi Cuc, President of the Vietnam Tax Consultants' Association and former Deputy Director-General of the General Department of Taxation under the Ministry of Finance; and economist Nguyen Xuan Thanh.

Insights from government representatives and experts across different fields will offer participating businesses complementary perspectives on the investment environment, helping them assess market conditions, formulate business strategies and better anticipate factors that could affect their operations in Viet Nam.

By bringing together policymakers, experts and the business community, Vietnam Connect Forum 2026 seeks to create opportunities for substantive exchanges and facilitate access to information and resources that enterprises need to navigate the investment environment.

Building partnerships and creating pathways for sustainable growth

Alongside the discussion sessions, Business Matching will be a key feature of Vietnam Connect Forum 2026, designed to facilitate direct connections between FDI enterprises and service providers in Viet Nam.

Meetings will be arranged in advance based on the cooperation needs registered by participating businesses, focusing on areas such as logistics, legal advisory, investment consulting, accounting and finance, and general contracting.

Through these targeted meetings, enterprises will have opportunities to assess the capabilities of potential partners, access relevant services and explore cooperation arrangements that support both their existing operations and future development plans.

The initiative also reflects the broader value VietinBank seeks to deliver to its business partners: extending beyond conventional banking services to facilitate access to external resources, connect enterprises with potential partners and contribute to a more supportive business ecosystem for investors. Ultimately, the success of an investment should not be measured solely by the initial capital commitment, but also by its ability to translate resources into production capacity, business performance and long-term value.

Realizing this potential requires a partner capable of supporting enterprises across multiple dimensions, from financing and cash flow management to market intelligence, policy updates and business connectivity. Drawing on its experience in serving the FDI community and its domestic and international network, VietinBank aims to serve as a comprehensive strategic partner, helping businesses capitalize on opportunities and pursue sustainable growth in Viet Nam.

Going beyond individual financial transactions, VietinBank connects resources, broadens cooperation opportunities and works alongside enterprises to support the realization of their long-term development and expansion strategies in Viet Nam. Businesses interested in attending Vietnam Connect Forum 2026 or participating in the Business Matching program can register or submit their partnership requests by emailing fdi@vietinbank.vn. They can also contact their nearest VietinBank branch or transaction office, or call the bank's hotline at 1900 558 886.
