Investing in Vietnam: Opportunities beyond capital

Vietnam is becoming an increasingly important destination in the investment and supply chain restructuring strategies of international corporations. However, attracting new investment is only part of the equation.

For foreign-invested enterprises already operating in Vietnam, the next challenge is to expand operations, enter new markets, optimise resources and build sustainable competitive advantages.

Achieving these objectives requires more than capital. Businesses need a thorough understanding of the market, the ability to keep pace with policy developments, access to relevant resources and a network of partners capable of supporting their growth plans.

More importantly, these elements must be brought together in a coordinated manner to translate opportunities into tangible business results.

This is the approach VietinBank is pursuing in supporting the foreign direct investment (FDI) community. The bank aims to serve as a comprehensive strategic partner, helping businesses address their needs from day-to-day operations to long-term development and expansion in Vietnam.

VietinBank positions itself as a comprehensive partner for FDI enterprises

As one of Vietnam's leading commercial banks, VietinBank aims to establish strong, long-term relationships with FDI enterprises.

Its role extends beyond providing financial and banking solutions to helping businesses access information, connect with resources and explore cooperation opportunities within Vietnam's business ecosystem.

On the financial front, VietinBank offers a wide range of solutions, including working capital financing, cash management, domestic and international payments, trade finance and specialised banking services.

These solutions are designed to help businesses strengthen financial management and improve operational efficiency.

In terms of market and policy insights, VietinBank provides updates, shares relevant information and connects businesses with experts, advisory organisations and specialised service providers.

This gives enterprises additional perspectives to assess the business environment, identify opportunities and proactively adapt to changes.

For business connectivity, VietinBank leverages its domestic and international network to help enterprises identify potential partners, service providers and other resources essential to their operations and investment expansion.

Through this approach, the bank aims to become a trusted partner capable of connecting diverse resources and helping businesses address both immediate needs and the challenges and opportunities arising at different stages of development.

Vietnam Connect Forum 2026 to provide policy updates and economic insights

As part of its efforts to strengthen comprehensive partnerships with FDI enterprises, VietinBank is organising Vietnam Connect Forum 2026.

The event will bring together foreign-invested businesses, investors and domestic and international organisations to exchange perspectives, gain timely insights and explore new cooperation opportunities.

Expected to attract nearly 300 representatives, the forum will focus on issues directly affecting business operations and development plans in Vietnam.

Discussions will cover investment policy directions and the business environment, alongside developments in corporate income tax, value-added tax, personal income tax, tax administration, investment incentives and support policies.

Experts will also examine Vietnam's economic outlook and global economic trends, including international trade developments, interest rates, foreign exchange movements and investment flows.

The forum will feature three speakers:

Bui Thu Thuy, Deputy Directorof the Foreign Investment Agency under the Ministry of Finance.
Nguyen Thi Cuc, President of the Vietnam Tax Consultants' Association and former Deputy Director General of the General Department of Taxation under the Ministry of Finance.
Nguyen Xuan Thanh, economist.
Insights from government representatives and specialists across different fields are expected to provide businesses with complementary perspectives on the investment environment.

These discussions will help enterprises formulate business plans and manage factors that could affect their operations in Vietnam.

Business Matching to connect FDI enterprises with potential partners

Alongside the discussion sessions, Business Matching will be a key feature of Vietnam Connect Forum 2026.

The programme is designed to facilitate direct connections between FDI enterprises and service providers operating in Vietnam.

Meetings will be arranged in advance based on the cooperation needs registered by participating businesses.

The matching sessions will focus on areas including logistics, legal advisory, investment consulting, accounting and finance, and general contracting.

Through these tailored discussions, businesses will have opportunities to assess potential partners' capabilities, access relevant services and explore cooperation opportunities that support both current operations and future development plans.

The initiative reflects the broader value VietinBank aims to deliver to its corporate customers: going beyond banking services to facilitate connections with external resources and partners, contributing to a more supportive business ecosystem for investors.

Supporting sustainable growth and long-term investment in Vietnam

The success of an investment should not be measured solely by its initial capital commitment, but also by its ability to transform resources into production capacity, business performance and long-term value.

Achieving this requires a partner capable of supporting businesses across multiple dimensions, from financing and cash flow management to market insights, policy updates and business connectivity.

Drawing on its experience serving the FDI community and its domestic and international network, VietinBank aims to position itself as a comprehensive strategic partner, helping businesses capitalise on opportunities and achieve sustainable growth in Vietnam.

The bank's approach goes beyond supporting individual financial transactions. It seeks to connect resources, expand opportunities and work alongside enterprises to realise their long-term growth plans.
