The event is expected to attract thousands of participants, including leaders and representatives from ministries and agencies, foreign embassies in Vietnam, investors, startups, international organisations, experts, enterprises, and press agencies.

As an annual flagship event, the National Entrepreneurship Forum provides a platform for strategic discussions, networking, investment opportunities, and in-depth exchanges on the theme of nurturing human resources for startups and innovation. It also reflects the Government’s ongoing efforts to strengthen Vietnam’s innovation ecosystem and entrepreneurial community amid rapid digital transformation.

The National Entrepreneurship Association, at a press briefing on November 19, outlined the forum’s objectives, discussion panels, workshops, and exhibition activities, highlighting its role in promoting high-quality human resources in line with Vietnam’s economic development goals.

Dr. Dinh Viet Hoa, Chairman of the National Startup Association, noted that the forum is a key event not only for the startup and business community but also for the sustainable development of Vietnam’s economy.

“The world is changing rapidly with the rise of the digital economy, artificial intelligence, automation, and new business models. To thrive, Vietnam needs bold entrepreneurs, a dynamic startup ecosystem, and high-quality human resources with a global perspective,” he said.

Nguyen Quang Huy, Chairman of the National Startup Fund, said the forum is not only a place to share policies, exchange strategies, or introduce startup models, but also an ideal venue for managers, businesses, investors, experts, and startups to connect and create new values, opening up for long-term cooperative partnerships.

In parallel with the forum, the National Aesthetic Industry Summit – Hanoi 2025 will be held, spotlighting the rapidly growing aesthetic sector. The summit aims to foster new businesses, drive innovation, and contribute significantly to Vietnam’s service economy.
