This year’s theme, “Sustainability and Growth in an Uncertain World,” promises to be a vital gathering for a diverse group of participants, including investors, business leaders, policymakers, startups, and media. Together, they will navigate the complex landscape of trade, investment, and sustainable growth.

ESG Investing for Growth in a Shifting Landscape

Vietnam, noted for its rapid economic development, is experiencing a unique blend of challenges and opportunities. As the country strides towards a promising future, it faces issues such as climate change and regulatory transformations that necessitate strategic thinking.

Day 1 of the conference addresses a pivotal question: How can Vietnam meet its development goals amid volatile global markets and a burgeoning domestic economy? Attendees will engage in discussions on crucial topics such as:

• Inclusive Workforce Development: Exploring innovative ways to power Vietnam’s green and digital future.
• Tourism Industry Expansion: Assessing creative strategies to elevate Vietnam’s tourism as a crucial economic sector.
• Renewable Energy Investment: Navigating the rapidly evolving regulatory landscape for renewable energy in Vietnam.
• Urban Design & ESG Accessibility: Evaluating the integration of ESG principles in urban planning and construction.
• ESG in Startups: Understanding the role of ESG practices within the startup ecosystem.

The sessions will include case studies, both successful and otherwise, aimed at providing practical insights for all attendees.

Leveraging Vietnam’s Competitive Advantages

On Day 2, the focus shifts to identifying and leveraging Vietnam’s competitive advantages for sustainable growth. With its rich labor pool, strategic geographic position, and youthful population, Vietnam stands poised for significant advancement even amidst external challenges.

Participants—including investors, CEOs, and industry experts—will delve into critical discussions on:

• Public Company ESG Integration: Ensuring that publicly traded firms meet sustainability standards.
• Sustainable Infrastructure & Logistics: The vital role of these sectors in transforming Vietnam’s industrial landscape.
• High-Value Manufacturing & Agriculture: Best practices for developing more robust supply chains.
• Gender Lens Investing: Exploring opportunities for investment through a gender-focused perspective.
• Smart Mobility in Urbanization: Addressing transport challenges in rapidly urbanizing regions.

The conference will spotlight startups and small- to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), vital components of Vietnam’s economy that account for over 98% of businesses. Many of these struggle with ESG integration due to a lack of guidance.

Sessions will influence how SMEs can become investment-ready by embedding sustainability frameworks and understanding the necessary standards and resources.

Volatility as a Catalyst for Innovation and Collaboration

Facilitating partnerships is another fundamental objective of the 2025 Vietnam ESG Investor Conference. Through targeted networking sessions, stakeholders from various sectors will converge to share insights on navigating this unpredictable global climate.

Key networking components include:

• Collaboration Opportunities: Strategies that foster joint ventures and innovative projects aimed at sustainability.
• Shared Experiences: Learning from collective challenges faced by businesses and governments alike, and how collaborative action can effectively drive transition towards a resilient economy.

This is an unmissable opportunity for investors, business leaders, and policymakers to engage, explore, and develop partnerships that support thriving amidst volatility.
