As part of the 2026 Vietnam Local Promotion Program in the US led by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, authorities of Quang Ngai, Lang Son and Tay Ninh provinces recently co-hosted an investment and trade promotion seminar in Houston, attracting more than 40 US participants.
The event featured a series of substantive business-to-business (B2B) matchmaking sessions across key sectors, including industry and energy, import-export, finance and logistics, according to the Vietnam Trade Office in Houston. These engagements are expected to lay the groundwork for new investment flows from the United States into Vietnam in the 2026–2030 period.
At the seminar, the three provinces presented their development potential and competitive advantages, while providing detailed information on industrial park planning, tax incentives and key infrastructure and energy projects to US investors through well-prepared B2B meetings.
A highlight of the event was the showcase of local products, ranging from high-quality agricultural goods to handicrafts and processed items, which effectively complemented investment discussions by fostering direct trade connections.
The US side included representatives from the US Department of Commerce, business associations, support organizations, financial institutions, and companies operating in sectors such as energy, oil and gas, automation, logistics, food and beverages, and investment.
The Vietnam Trade Office in Houston said many businesses from both sides identified potential partners, particularly in industry and energy, import-export and logistics. These initial connections are expected to support stronger bilateral trade and investment ties as Vietnam steps up efforts to attract high-quality investment, with the US remaining a key export market.
