Vietnamese businesses join hands to establish digital alliance

Without the need for costly trade fairs, businesses can now introduce products, meet partners and close cross-border orders with just a few clicks. Trade promotion costs are reduced by 50-80% but opportunities are expanded many times over.

Mr. Le Tan Nam - Chairman of the Northwest Saigon Business Association - said that he has just coordinated with the Joint Stock Commercial Bank for Foreign Trade of Vietnam ( Vietcombank ) - Thong Nhat Branch, Tan Binh Branch and Arobid Joint Stock Company on the program "Digital Business Alliance - Connecting Vietnam Prosperity" in November 2025.

This is an effort to promote digital transformation of enterprises, following the direction of Project 1968 on "Promoting the application of information technology and digital transformation in trade promotion for the period 2021-2030".

Mr. Nam said that an alliance between businesses - banks - technology platforms has just been officially launched in Ho Chi Minh City, opening a new direction for digital trade promotion activities. Thousands of businesses will be connected on the B2B Arobid TradeXpo platform, helping to expand cross-border trade at a cost reduction of 50-80% compared to traditional methods.

According to the cooperation agreement, the parties will build a technology platform to connect businesses, deploy comprehensive digital transformation solutions including e-commerce, digital marketing, big data applications, and organize training and seminars to improve digital capacity for the business community.

The initial goal is to connect at least 1,000 verified businesses to the platform, encourage the participation of businesses, business households and cooperatives from 33 wards and communes in the Northwest region of Ho Chi Minh City, forming a dynamic and closely connected digital business community.

According to Ms. Ngo Dieu Thuy, General Director of Arobid, traditional trade promotion costs are a heavy burden for many businesses when approaching international markets.

"With a digital platform, every step from connection, negotiation to product display is digitized and automated, helping businesses save 50-80% of costs, while expanding the market faster and smarter," Ms. Thuy shared.

The Arobid TradeXpo platform operates on a B2B Marketplace model that integrates a global 3D digital exhibition, allowing businesses to introduce products, find partners and sign contracts online.

It is expected that from 2025, Arobid will deploy dozens of digital exhibitions each month by industry group, helping small and medium-sized enterprises participate in cross-border trade without intermediary or logistics costs.

Representative of Vietcombank, Mr. Tran Quoc Tuan - Director of Thong Nhat Branch - said that the bank will deploy synchronous financial technology solutions, supporting businesses to access B2B e-commerce platforms, combining transaction cost incentives to promote digital transformation.
