Asia faces a critical turning point as protectionism rises and the global order shifts. We explore how regional economies, especially Vietnam, are adapting through supply chain recalibration, trade diversification, and strategic realignment. Asia is positioning itself to either lead a new era of open regionalism or pivot toward strategic self-reliance amid renewed geopolitical tensions.
With double-digit growth ambitions and sweeping reforms, Vietnam is betting on the private sector to fuel its next economic leap. Taking center stage, the private sector embraces bold strategies and actions to future-proof Vietnam’s business landscape, ensuring sustainable growth and securing long-term global competitiveness.
Vietnam’s new generation of business leaders is transforming inherited values into bold leadership, driving innovation, and fostering sustainable, long-lasting growth.
