Investing in Vietnam - Opportunities go 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 story. For businesses already operating in Vietnam, the next challenge is how to develop their operations, expand into new markets, optimize 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 that can support their growth plans. More importantly, these elements need to be brought together in a coordinated manner to turn opportunities into tangible business results.

This is the approach state-controlled VietinBank pursues in supporting the FDI community: serving as a comprehensive strategic partner, working alongside businesses to address their needs, from day-to-day operations to long-term development and expansion plans in Vietnam.

VietinBank – A comprehensive strategic partner throughout the FDI growth journey

As one of Vietnam’s leading commercial banks, VietinBank aims to build 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 diverse range of solutions, including working capital financing, cash management, domestic and international payments, trade finance and specialized banking services, helping businesses improve financial management and operational efficiency.

In terms of market and policy insights, the bank focuses on providing updates, sharing relevant information and connecting businesses with experts, advisory organizations and other specialized contacts. This gives businesses additional insights to assess the business environment, identify opportunities, and proactively adapt to changes.

In business connectivity, VietinBank leverages its domestic and international network to help businesses connect with potential partners, service providers and other resources essential to their operations and investment expansion.

Through this approach, the lender aims to become a trusted partner capable of connecting diverse resources and helping businesses address not only their immediate needs but also the challenges and opportunities that arise at each stage of their development.

Vietnam Connect Forum 2026 – Broadening perspectives and connecting resources for businesses

As one of the initiatives demonstrating this comprehensive partnership approach, VietinBank is organizing Vietnam Connect Forum 2026, bringing together FDI enterprises, investors and domestic and international organizations to exchange perspectives, gain timely insights and explore new cooperation opportunities.

Expected to welcome nearly 300 representatives from FDI enterprises, investors and domestic and international organizations, the forum will focus on issues that directly affect business operations and development plans in Vietnam.

Discussions will cover investment policy directions and the business environment, as well as developments in corporate income tax, value-added tax, personal income tax, tax administration and investment incentives and support policies. In addition, experts will provide insights into the economic outlook in Vietnam and globally, international trade developments, interest rates, foreign exchange movements and trends in investment flows.

The forum will feature the following speakers:

• Bui Thu Thuy, deputy director of the Foreign Investment Agency, Ministry of Finance.

• Nguyen Thi Cuc, president of the Vietnam Tax Consultants’ Association and former deputy director general of the General Department of Taxation, Ministry of Finance.

• Nguyen Xuan Thanh, economist.

Insights from government representatives and experts across different fields will provide businesses with complementary perspectives to assess the investment environment, formulate business plans, and manage factors that may affect their operations in Vietnam.

Business Matching – Connecting the right partners and expanding cooperation opportunities

Alongside the discussion sessions, Business Matching will be a key feature of Vietnam Connect Forum 2026, designed to facilitate direct connections between FDI enterprises and service providers in Vietnam.

Meetings will be arranged in advance based on the cooperation needs registered by participating businesses, focusing on areas such as logistics, legal advisory, investment consulting, accounting and finance, and general contracting.

Through these needs-based discussions, businesses will have the opportunity to assess potential partners' capabilities, access relevant services and explore cooperation opportunities to support both their current operations and future development plans.

This also reflects the broader value VietinBank aims to deliver to its business partners: going beyond banking solutions to facilitate connections with external resources and partners, contributing to a more supportive business ecosystem for investors.

Working with VietinBank to unlock new growth opportunities in Vietnam

The success of an investment should not be measured solely by its initial capital commitment, but also by its ability to translate 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 in serving the FDI community and its domestic and international network, VietinBank aims to serve as a comprehensive strategic partner, helping businesses capitalize on opportunities and achieve sustainable growth in Vietnam.

VietinBank goes beyond supporting individual financial transactions. It connects resources, expands opportunities, and works alongside businesses to realize their long-term growth plans.
