WEBINAR "AFTER THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC- SEIZE INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES IN VIETNAM"
WHA Industrial Development PLC would like to invite you to a webinar entitled: "After the COVID-19 pandemic- Seize investment opportunities in Vietnam"
This event is reserved for WHA partners and customers (free of charge).
As Europe and the United States start to unlock after the pandemic, economic recovery will become the main driving force of the world economy. With the requirement for non-Chinese supply chains from European and American customers, Taiwanese ICT manufacturers are starting to relocate their production bases out of China. In Northern Vietnam, with the investment and expansion of ICT companies such as Hon Hai, Compal, Pegatron, Wistron and others, the demand for related supporting supply chains is gradually increasing and driving local demand. With this development, manufacturers may be able to seize new opportunities.
