2025 Investor Conference showcases ‘Vietnam 2.0’ vision in Ho Chi Minh City

Attended by more than 150 international investors, the two-day event centers on the theme ‘Vietnam 2.0’ — reflecting the country’s next phase of development driven by sweeping government reforms and private-sector dynamism.

With a focus on science, technology, innovation, and deeper integration into global supply chains, Vietnam aims to achieve the ambitious goal of becoming a developed nation by 2045.

This year’s conference covers key topics such as economic outlook, stock market trends, private enterprise development, clean energy, innovation, and infrastructure — sectors where Vietnam, particularly Ho Chi Minh City, continues to lead the nation in attracting foreign investment.

Panel discussions feature senior executives from VinaCapital and guest speakers representing major enterprises including Sumitomo, BIDV, Warburg Pincus, A.P. Moller Capital, Vertex, Marvell Vietnam, Synopsys, U&I Investment, Masan Group, Broaden Economics, Orient Plastic, Gamuda Land Vietnam, REE Corp, Phu Nhuan Jewelry, FPT Retail, and Vinamilk.

VinaCapital CEO and co-founder Don Lam said the number of investors attending this year’s conference ranks among the highest in the event’s 20-year history, underscoring the strong appeal of the Vietnamese market.

He noted that while some concerns emerged earlier this year over tariff developments, the Vietnamese government’s flexible policy responses and Vietnam’s stable macroeconomic fundamentals have helped restore and strengthen foreign investor confidence.

Lam emphasized that fostering private-sector growth remains a top priority for the government and is also central to VinaCapital’s investment strategy.

With a proven record of supporting the growth of leading Vietnamese companies such as KIDO, Vinamilk, PNJ, and Hoa Phat, VinaCapital is confident in its role as a bridge connecting both domestic and international capital to promising Vietnamese enterprises, whether listed or unlisted.

Nguyen Van Duoc, chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City administration, emphasized that with an increasingly favorable business environment and a strong commitment to innovation and sustainable growth, Vietnam, particularly its southern metropolis, will remain an ideal destination for international investors seeking long-term opportunities in Asia.

VinaCapital held its first investor conference in 2005 as a platform to introduce Vietnam to foreign investors and promote investment opportunities in the country.
