Exploring exciting new business opportunities
As part of our Greater Birmingham Global Chamber of Commerce events programme, and in partnership with the Embassy of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam in London, Aston University, Birmingham City Council and the West Midlands Combined Authority, we present an exciting opportunity to meet a delegation of Vietnamese businesses from the North and South of this Indo-Pacific powerhouse, as well as meet the expert team from the Vietnamese Embassy in London. Using simultaneous translation, you will hear about exciting new opportunities and why Vietnam could be a viable target market when considering exporting, importing, or exploring joint investment opportunities.
Specifically, you will meet trade delegates (who represent 14.7 Million Vietnamese consumers) from: Hoa Binh (0.8M), Ha Nam (0.9M), Lam Dong (1.6M), Vinh Phuc (1.4M), Kien Giang (1.6M) and the great Capital City of Hanoi (pop 8.4M), who wish to talk about mutual opportunities for trade relationships, co-investment, the delivery of education & training, the promotion of tourism, agricultural development and production, services and products related to digital transformation and the green transition. The City and Chamber already have a relationship with Da Nang (pop 1.3m) and meeting the Embassy officials will also help you understand opportunities here in financial services and manufacturing.
Don’t miss this opportunity explore Vietnam with a range of experts! Places are free, but are strictly limited.
