Highlights Vietnam Future Economy Summit 2025
Editorial Pillars
Vietnam’s Infrastructure Landscape
Over the Next Five Years
An outlook on Vietnam’s infrastructure development roadmap for 2026–2030, with public investment playing a leading role. Discussions will focus on priority projects aligned with the nation’s long-term growth ambitions — spanning transportation, energy, urban development, and industrial zones.
Capital Challenges and
the Role of the Private Sector
Vietnam’s infrastructure demand is rapidly outpacing the capacity of state budgets and traditional ODA financing. This pillar will address the critical questions: where will the capital come from, through which financing channels, and how can private capital meaningfully participate in systemically important projects?
Infrastructure:
From Logistics to Energy
If infrastructure is the foundation of growth, then industrial parks, logistics, ports, and energy systems are the critical bottlenecks that will determine Vietnam’s competitiveness in the evolving global supply chain.

The New Rules of Growth
Access to markets, capital, and technology is central to Southeast Asia and Vietnam’s growth prospects. As trade relationships and supply chains shift, the advantages that attract investment today may not be enough for the next phase. For policymakers and businesses, the challenge is to distinguish temporary disruption from lasting changes in the global economy. How should Vietnam adapt its growth model to changing global conditions while balancing competitiveness, resilience and economic autonomy?

Building Competitive Edge in the AI Era
AI can change the economics of the manufacturing and service activities. Its impact will depend on access to computing power, reliable energy, data, and skills, as well as the ability of domestic businesses to adopt it. The choices span developing technology, building infrastructure, and applying tools across the economy. Where should Vietnam concentrate its resources to turn AI adoption into a durable competitive advantage, higher productivity and more value retained locally?

Double-Digit Growth: Re-Evaluating the Vietnamese Economy
Sustaining double-digit growth would require investment to generate lasting gains in productivity. Infrastructure, energy, and stronger links between domestic companies and global supply chains all matter. So do the roles of the state, state-owned enterprises and private businesses, and the discipline with which capital is allocated. Which reforms and investments would do most to turn Vietnam’s growth ambition into sustained economic gains while preserving macroeconomic stability?

Vietnam’s Next FDI Chapter
The value of foreign investment extends beyond the capital committed to a project. Industrial parks, urban development, energy, digital infrastructure and manufacturing can reinforce one another when they support a common base of workers, suppliers and services. For Vietnam, the next step is to translate these connections into stronger domestic capabilities. How can foreign investors and Vietnamese partners coordinate their investments to deepen local supply chains, transfer know-how and support higher-value production?

Beyond the Upgrade: Getting Capital Where It’s Needed
A stock-market upgrade can broaden investor access. Financing Vietnam’s next phase of growth requires a broader range of capital, from bank lending and bonds to equity and institutional investment. The challenge spans both attracting funding and directing it towards businesses and projects whose returns and time horizons justify sustained commitments. How can Vietnam deepen its financing channels and build the confidence needed to mobilise domestic and international capital for long-term growth?

Vietnamese Enterprises’ Resilience in the Next Phase
Resilience depends on decisions made before disruption arrives: the strength of a balance sheet, the flexibility of operations and the ability to redeploy people and capital. As Vietnamese companies plan for 2027–2030, efficiency, diversification and investment in new capabilities each carry costs and trade-offs. How can businesses strengthen their capacity to absorb shocks while preserving the financial and organisational flexibility to pursue their next stage of growth?

The Next Move: Invest, Expand or Adjust?
For business leaders, the outlook for 2027–2030 must translate into decisions about capital, capacity and people. Entering a market, upgrading production or acquiring a business demands different resources and time horizons. What should determine whether a company invests now, expands in stages, or adjusts its plans, and which signals should prompt a change of course?

Turning AI Investment Into Business Productivity
Faster tasks do not automatically produce a more productive business. AI’s value depends on how companies redesign workflows, integrate systems and use the time and capacity released. Implementation costs, reliability, staff adoption and accountability all influence whether a promising tool produces a measurable return. How should companies select and scale AI investments that improve business performance, and what evidence should determine whether to expand, change or stop a project?

Becoming an Investable Business
A company’s growth story must withstand scrutiny of its earnings, governance and use of capital. Investors also assess whether management can execute and deliver returns that justify the risks. For businesses preparing to raise funds, choosing a source of capital means weighing its cost, expectations, time horizon, and implications for control. What should a company put in place before approaching investors, and how can it match its financing needs with the right type of capital?

BAM Studios 2026
Strong Roots, Long Reach
To keep pace with the future, a business must first stand firm on its own foundations. Alongside the Vietnam Future Economy Summit 2026, BAM Studios is where business leaders, investors and experts move beyond vision to action plans. They talk about the decisions they have made, how they are carrying them out and the results they can measure.
The program runs on two tracks. Strong Roots looks at how companies are building strength from within, in people, technology, finance and governance: the choices they made, the trade-offs they accepted and what they achieved. Long Reach looks ahead to 2027: which opportunities are worth pursuing, which risks to prepare for, and what evidence will show whether a view holds.
If the main stage sets the direction, BAM Studios shows the steps.
