[HCMC] Industrial Development and Technology: opportunities and challenges for Vietnam

Join us on November 21st for an insightful business seminar “Industrial Development and Technology: opportunities and challenges for Vietnam” where we explore the dynamic landscape of Vietnam’s industrial sector and the transformative forces shaping its future.

For over two decades, Vietnam’s industrial sector has experienced remarkable growth and prosperity, positioning itself as a key player in the global marketplace. As we look ahead, it is evident that the country’s industrial trajectory will continue to thrive. However future demographic challenges will mean Vietnam must rapidly improve its productivity and value-added output and not rely on cheap labour.

Our distinguished speakers will address crucial aspects of Vietnam’s industrial landscape, focusing on the following key issues:

• Rethinking Labor and Productivity
• Technological Advancements and Innovation
• Vietnam’s Strengths and Weaknesses
• Technological Transformation and the Rise of eCommerce
• Future of the Technology Industry.

This seminar is ideal for business leaders, entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers, and anyone with a vested interest in Vietnam’s industrial and technological landscape. Gain valuable insights, connect with industry experts, and discover strategies to thrive in the ever-evolving Vietnamese market.
