The forum details were released at a press conference in Hanoi on November 6.

At the event, EuroCham Chairman Bruno Jaspaert emphasized that “I may not yet represent the largest investor bloc in Vietnam, but I represent one that invests with purpose. European investment focuses on sectors that truly drive sustainable development – those that matter not only for today’s growth but for generations to come. As reflected in EuroCham’s Green Business of the Year Awards last week, it is not only large enterprises with the resources to invest in sustainability. Many SMEs are also growing from green roots, innovating for a better, more sustainable future for us all.”

He pointed out that frameworks such as the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP) and the Global Gateway are further aligning environmental and economic goals between the EU and Vietnam.

Echoing this partnership, H.E. Mr. Julien Guerrier, EU Ambassador to Vietnam, shared that “As you may have seen at the Global Gateway Forum in Brussels last month, the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP) continues to deliver concrete EU financial commitments for energy transition projects – marked by the signing of a EUR430 million JETP financial package between Deputy Prime Minister  Bui Thanh Son and EU Commissioner for International Partnerships Jozef Síkela".

“In times of global uncertainty, partnerships like the one between the EU and Vietnam matter more than ever. I am confident that in the years ahead, our cooperation will continue to deepen and bring tangible benefits to our businesses, our people, and above all, our planet”, he said.

With an emphasis on in-depth conference discussions and actionable dialogue, GEF 2025 introduces a reimagined structure featuring nine high-level conference sessions on Vietnam’s sustainability priorities, three hands-on workshops co-hosted by European bilateral business associations, one keynote address by a global thought leader in the green economy, and one networking evening fostering lasting partnerships.

Each session bridges the EU’s Green Deal and Global Gateway vision with Vietnam’s realities – translating strategy into solutions that connect policy with investment, and ambition with delivery.
