On June 12, more than 500 leaders from investment funds, financial institutions, and leading technology corporations across Asia will gather at Vinpearl Landmark 81 in Ho Chi Minh City for Venture Forum 2026 — a high-level forum on M&A and private capital initiated by VinVentures, the venture capital arm of Vingroup. The event is expected to become one of the region’s most notable gatherings for the technology investment and financial communities this year.
Under the theme “Vietnam’s M&A Moment – The Unseen Dynamics,” Venture Forum 2026 is hosted by VinVentures in collaboration with the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Science and Technology, Lotte Ventures, and Impact Square.
According to the organizing committee, Vietnam is increasingly emerging as an attractive destination for technology and private capital investment in the region, supported by strong long-term growth fundamentals, rapid digital transformation, and a fast-growing innovation ecosystem. Venture Forum 2026 is therefore expected to serve as a strategic platform for in-depth discussions on the evolving dynamics of the regional M&A market.
The forum is expected to welcome more than 500 participants from Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, and Vietnam, including leaders from investment funds, corporations, financial institutions, technology companies, and high-growth startups.
The program will feature six thematic panel discussions covering topics such as business valuation, M&A strategies of Asian corporates, the evolving focus of private capital from deployment to liquidity and DPI, the role of policy in enabling transactions, as well as founders’ decisions around scaling, strategic partnerships, and exits.
In addition to the panel discussions, the forum will also provide dedicated networking opportunities connecting investors and companies to foster potential partnerships and transactions beyond the event itself.
According to the organizing committee, the long-term vision of Venture Forum is to gradually establish a leading annual platform for strategic dialogue on M&A and private capital in Vietnam, contributing to stronger connections between Vietnamese enterprises and high-quality regional and international capital.

- Mr. Chris Freund – Founder & Managing Partner, Mekong Capital
