THE IMPACT OF THE EU - VIETNAM FREE TRADE AGREEMENT ON YOUR INDUSTRY AND HOW YOU CAN BENEFIT

The EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) aims to eliminate nearly all tariffs between the two markets within seven years while having many other benefits for both regions. Whether you’re a European company importing from and manufacturing in Vietnam or a Vietnamese company exporting to the EU, you should be able to benefit from the new EVFTA agreement.

Vietnam is also one of the world's fastest-growing economies and the European Unions second-largest trading partner in Southeast Asia, which makes the agreement even more important. The country could well become a model example for other Asian Countries exporting to the EU in the future.

In this hour-long webinar, an expert panel of Industry leaders will discuss these points and more as they evaluate the EVFTA as a pathway to trade success.
