SEIZE ASEAN TEXTILE MARKET OPPORTUNITIES · CAPTURE INDUSTRY DIVIDENDS! VIETNAM BUSINESS & TECHNOLOGY MISSION - NOW OPEN FOR REGISTRATION!

Vietnam is fast becoming a vital hub in the global textile industry, powered by preferential tariffs, a young and dynamic workforce, and strong government support under the Textile and Garment Industry Development Strategy to 2030, attracting growing global investment.
As a global trade and supply chain hub, Hong Kong is the gateway to ASEAN expansion. Organised by the Hong Kong Young Scientist Association and the Hong Kong Productivity Council, this "Go Global: Vietnam Business & Technology Mission" covers the entire textile value chain, offering market insights, Vietnam entry strategies, and direct access to local resources.
What Makes This Mission Stand Out?
• Deep Dives into Policy & Risk Management: Engage with the Vietnam Textile and Apparel Association (VITAS) and the Ho Chi Minh City’s Department of Industry and Trade. Obtain first-hand policy updates, investment guidelines, and a comprehensive understanding of industry regulations, market trends, and the investment landscape while learning how to maximise policy advantages and mitigate operational risks.
• Proven Practices from Benchmark Enterprises: Visit successful Hong Kong and mainland-invested companies in Vietnam, including South Ocean Textiles, Vitasoy International and Shenzhou International. Learn from their practical experience in production management, human resources and cross-border logistics.
• Global Networking at SaigonTex 2026: Participate in SigonTex 2026 to explore the latest industry technologies and trends. Connect directly with international buyers and suppliers to unlock collaboration opportunities.
• On-Site Industrial Chain Exploration: Visit local fabric markets and Chinese-invested manufacturing facilities to understand raw material supply, pricing trends and quality inspection standards. Develop a deeper understanding of ASEAN’s textile supply chain integration and learn how to build stable, efficient procurement and production systems.
• Cross-Platform Business Connections: Engage with the China Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam and local business representatives. Forge on-the-ground partnerships to lay a solid foundation for expanding into ASEAN and global markets.

VIETNAM'S MANUFACTURING STORY HAS CHANGED IN 2026
Vietnam is no longer attracting investment solely because of its competitive costs. Today, global manufacturers are increasingly choosing Vietnam for its expanding industrial ecosystem, resilient supply chains and growing role in high-value sectors such as semiconductors, electronics and advanced manufacturing.
VIETNAM NEEDS OVER $200BN FROM STOCK MARKET IN NEXT 5 YEARS
Speaking at the event, Bui Hoang Hai, vice-chairman of the State Securities Commission of Vietnam, said total investment demand in the 2026-30 period is estimated at VND38,000 trillion ($1.4 trillion). The state budget can only provide approximately VND8,500 trillion ($323 billion), or 20 percent, leaving the remaining 80 percent to be sourced from private and international capital.
HUNG YEN BUILDS DIGITAL FOUNDATIONS TO DRIVE LONG-TERM GROWTH
From strengthening data infrastructure to developing AI platforms, Hung Yen province is enhancing governance capacity while laying the groundwork for the growth of its digital economy. Hung Yen, about 50-60km southeast of Hanoi, has maintained steady momentum in implementing its digital transformation agenda, creating a stronger foundation for the province to advance science, technology, and innovation.
CHINESE INVESTMENT WAVE OPENS NEW DOORS
As Chinese companies move beyond factory relocation to ecosystem-driven investment, Vietnam has a rare opportunity to evolve from a low-cost production base into a strategic node in regional value chains. When global companies first diversified supply chains, the focus was largely on relocating manufacturing capacity.
VIỆT NAM STEPS UP EXPORT TO ACHIEVE US$550-BILLION TARGET
Việt Nam is intensifying efforts to sustain export momentum in the second half of 2026 as the country works towards its target of US$550 billion in export revenue for the year, despite continuing uncertainties in global trade. Statistics show that exports reached $266.5 billion in the first six months, meaning the economy needs to generate around $245.5 billion more during the remainder of the year to meet the annual goal.
ASIA POWERS VIETNAM’S SHRIMP BOOM, LEAVING THE WEST BEHIND
In the first half of 2026, Vietnam's shrimp exports surpassed the US$2.3 billion mark, driven largely by booming demand from China and a lobster craze. But behind that growth figure lies a lopsided picture: Asia is carrying the load, while the U.S. and Europe have yet to break out. These days, a container of frozen shrimp leaving a Ho Chi Minh City port is more likely to cross the East Vietnam Sea to Shanghai than the Pacific to Los Angeles.
