The event aims to analyze opportunities and challenges facing businesses in the new context, thus suggesting practical solutions to help them seize opportunities and navigate challenges.

According to the organizers, the international and domestic landscapes are showing new factors that significantly impact business and investment activities.

These include the trends of recovery and high growth in the economy, amendments to laws related to investment and business, the establishment and realization of comprehensive strategic partnerships with major economic powers, the implementation of 17 signed free trade agreements (FTA), and the rapid development of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, particularly artificial intelligence.

Additionally, there is an urgent need for green transition to cope with climate change, alongside major geopolitical and geoeconomic fluctuations globally.

Under the auspices of the Vietnam’s Association of Foreign Invested Enterprises (VAFIE), the parent entity of The Investor, the workshop will feature leaders from various ministries and agencies, economic and technology experts, as well as foreign and domestic corporate representatives.

The event will be broadcast live and reported on nhadautu.vn and its English sister theinvestor.vn, among other media entities.
