The Southeast Asia Centre of Asia-Pacific Excellence (SEA CAPE) and ASEAN New Zealand Business Council (ANZBC) invite you to attend this free workshop focused on doing business in Vietnam.

About this workshop:

The SEA CAPE Market Readiness Vietnam workshop helps you prepare your business to share in the success experienced by other Kiwi companies operating in the valuable Vietnamese export markets.

Within the ASEAN region, as one of Southeast Asia’s fastest-growing economies, Vietnam is dynamic and bursting with potential. Vietnam’s GDP growth in 2020 reached 2.9% (one of the few economies with positive growth in 2020). Vietnam also ranks 12th out of 66 emerging markets in terms of its financial strength.

Beyond the attractive economic statistics, Vietnam also presents various opportunities due to its manufacturing capacity and skillsets, the strategic location being next to China, strengthening institutional and regulatory framework that encourages foreign participation and production of intellectual property and a large consumer market of more than 97 million with a median age of 32.

This special workshop will be followed by Vietnam Market Update. Please find the full details and registration here
