As we mark the 50th anniversary of Southern liberation and National reunification, we also celebrate Vietnam’s remarkable progress as a country. Will Vietnam be a “Tiger economy” like Korea or Taiwan? What does the future look like in 30 years from now?

The panel discussion will focus on the impressive success of Vietnamese companies that have expanded into international markets and brought Vietnamese brands to the global stage. A typical example is the Tuan Loc Group, a leading exporter of agricultural products. With strategic partners, high-quality products, and sustainable production methods, Tuấn Lộc has dominated international markets, bringing Vietnamese agricultural products closer to the world.

Another success story mentioned is the FPT Group, a prominent information technology and software services company. Its ability to adapt to rapidly changing technology markets and its commitment to innovation has helped FPT establish a presence in many international markets. With strategic alliances and advanced solutions, FPT has risen to become a major name in the global technology industry.

The event is a platform for prominent alumni to discuss successful case studies while mingling with like-minded leaders.
