The Ho Chi Minh City Business Summit 2025, set for September 24-27, will connect and promote the strong development of the local business community in a newly-expanded growth space, the Vietnam News Agency quoted an announcement from the Young Businesspeople Association of HCM City (YBA HCM) as reporting.

Mr. Le Tri Thong, YBA HCM Chairman, said that the merger of Ho Chi Minh City with neighboring Binh Duong and Ba Ria–Vung Tau provinces goes beyond administrative expansion. It unlocks opportunities for cross-regional cooperation, leveraging the strengths, experience, and resources of bold, dynamic, and aspiring young entrepreneurs to create a more diverse business ecosystem in this emerging development hub.

YBA HCM Vice Chairman Vo Dai Khoi said the summit is expected to draw over 10,000 guests, including over 5,000 entrepreneurs, CEOs, investors, more than 50 investment funds, and international financiers. It will feature 150 multi-sector exhibition booths, strategic panel discussions, side events, and media coverage from more than 50 reputable outlets. In a volatile global market, such networking activities are expected to help firms forge new partnerships, access untapped markets, and, most importantly, build stable and sustainable value chains both at home and abroad.

The summit will host a series of flagship events, including the HCMC Business Summit Kickoff Day, a platform for business networking and discussions on leadership in the technology era, drawing entrepreneurs, investors, and industry experts.
