Viet Nam is becoming an increasingly important destination in the investment and supply chain restructuring strategies of international corporations. For foreign-invested enterprises (FIEs) already operating in the country, the next challenge is to expand their operations, enter new markets, optimize resources, and build sustainable competitive advantages.

Keeping abreast of investment policies, understanding economic developments, and establishing connections with reliable business partners will be essential to achieving these goals. These topics will be at the center of the Vietnam Connect Forum 2026, hosted by VietinBank on November 17, 2026, in Ho Chi Minh City.

The forum is expected to bring together policymakers, economic experts, and nearly 300 business leaders, providing a platform for participants to exchange practical insights, update their knowledge, and explore potential business opportunities.

Policy updates and economic insights for business decision-making

At the forum, participants will have the opportunity to hear directly from policymakers and experts on investment orientations, tax policies, and domestic and global economic developments.

Bui Thu Thuy, Deputy Director-General of the Foreign Investment Agency under the Ministry of Finance, will share insights into Viet Nam’s investment orientations and key considerations for foreign investors.

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, will provide updates on notable tax policies and incentives, alongside practical guidance on regulatory compliance for businesses.

Meanwhile, economic expert Nguyen Xuan Thanh will discuss domestic and global economic trends, interest rates, and capital flows, offering businesses additional perspectives to support their financial planning and business decisions.

Through these discussions, the forum aims to help enterprises gain a clearer understanding of the policy environment and broader economic conditions, enabling them to identify opportunities and prepare for potential challenges.

Business matching and networking with local partners

A key highlight of the forum will be its tailored business matching session. Based on participants’ pre-registered needs, the program will arrange direct meetings between FIEs and reputable local partners in Viet Nam.

Potential areas of cooperation include logistics, legal advisory services, investment consulting, accounting and finance, and construction. By connecting businesses with partners whose services match their needs, the session is designed to save time, facilitate practical cooperation, and allow enterprises to focus on their core operations.

As the host and a leading financial institution, VietinBank aims to serve as a reliable banking partner for foreign investors, helping them access resources, professional expertise, and market opportunities in Viet Nam. The forum also reflects the bank’s commitment to supporting businesses throughout their investment, development, and expansion journeys.
