The Vietnam Financial Forum 2026 (VFF 2026), a national-level financial forum, officially opened at the Ariyana International Convention Centre in Da Nang. Co-organized by Vietnam Technological and Commercial Joint Stock Bank (Techcombank), the event aims to identify breakthrough solutions to unlock capital flows and shape the digital infrastructure needed to support Vietnam's economic development.

VFF 2026 drew senior government leaders, including Deputy Prime Minister, ministry representatives, and leaders from Da Nang, along with more than 350 policymakers, business executives, and representatives from leading domestic and international financial institutions.

Against the backdrop of a rapidly shifting and restructuring global economy, VFF 2026 seeks to establish a high-level platform for knowledge exchange, practical solutions, and policy dialogue aimed at modernizing Vietnam's capital market, enhancing transparency, and optimizing financial infrastructure. These are viewed as critical conditions for improving businesses' access to capital and supporting the government's goal of achieving double-digit economic growth during the 2026-2030 period.

Digital finance and green finance, driven by advanced technologies, also emerged as key themes throughout the forum. Participants highlighted the potential of deep financial infrastructure digitalization to reshape capital flows and create new growth opportunities for Vietnam's business community.

As a national enterprise that has partnered with the government on numerous strategic projects spanning finance, technology, infrastructure, healthcare, next-generation aviation hubs, and logistics, Techcombank's role as co-organizer extends beyond financial support. The bank also contributes strategic expertise through its technology capabilities, data infrastructure, practical operating models, and international connectivity, helping foster a modern, transparent, and efficient financial ecosystem.

On the forum's opening morning, Dr. Jens Lottner, Chief Executive Officer of Techcombank, joined the keynote panel discussion, "A Domestic Market Perspective on the Vietnam International Financial Center (VIFC): Connecting Global Capital to Drive Vietnam's Next Growth Phase."

Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the event, Dr. Lottner said: "We believe Techcombank's role goes beyond providing capital. We are building digital infrastructure that enables the seamless movement of capital, data, and financial services throughout the economy. Our ambition is to become Vietnam's most trusted financial platform, supporting the country's next stage of development by ensuring both domestic and international capital is allocated more efficiently to sectors that generate sustainable economic growth.

"For Da Nang, we are also ready to share our practical experience in building effective digital ecosystems and applying data and technology to connect citizens, businesses, investors, and public services," Dr. Lottner said.

The panel discussion featuring Dr. Lottner focused on mechanisms for attracting foreign investment and channeling international financial resources into Vietnam's strategic development projects. Drawing on Techcombank's experience in digital transformation and innovation leadership, participants discussed practical approaches to connecting global capital with Vietnam's domestic market in a secure and efficient manner.

On the second day of the forum, July 10, senior experts from Techcombank and its ecosystem will participate in a series of in-depth sessions exploring solutions for mobilizing the estimated $100 billion in infrastructure investment required for Vietnam's future growth. Topics include "Where Will the Next $100 Billion Flow? Infrastructure, Energy, and Industrial Growth" and "Mobilizing Capital from International Institutional Investors."

The sessions will also examine both the opportunities and challenges involved in developing an integrated financial ecosystem capable of efficiently connecting customers, partners, and capital flows.

Techcombank's participation in VFF 2026 reaffirms its long-term commitment to unlocking financial resources, advancing innovation, and supporting the transformation of Vietnam's financial market into a more transparent, modern, and sustainable ecosystem.
