On the morning of October 29, at the Trade Promotion Conference with the Vietnamese trade office system abroad in October 2025 within the framework of the Autumn Fair 2025, Ms. Mai Thu Hien, Deputy Director of the Department of Planning, Finance and Enterprise Management (Ministry of Industry and Trade), introduced the draft Program "Reaching out to the international market for the period 2026-2035 - GoGlobal".

In order to concretize Resolution 68-NQ/TW on private economic development, the Ministry of Industry and Trade is presiding over the development of the "Go Global - Reaching out to the international market for the period 2026-2035" program, aiming to create a launching pad for Vietnamese enterprises to firmly integrate and affirm their position in the global market.

The "Go Global" program is identified as a strategic task, within the framework of implementing the Prime Minister 's direction on developing the private economic sector to become an important driving force of the economy.

According to the draft, "Go Global" identifies two prominent orientations: Innovating integration thinking, shifting from "participation" to "proactive creation" in global value chains, combining trade, investment, technology and culture.

Identify the private economy as the pioneering force leading the internationalization process and developing Vietnamese brands at regional and world level.

In addition, the Program also aims to form Vietnamese multinational enterprises with regional and global competitiveness, contributing to the shift from processing and assembly to true "Made in Vietnam".

Specific goals by 2030 include: Increasing the proportion of private sector exports to 50-60% of the total national export turnover. Forming 20 large enterprises leading the global value chain and 30 medium-sized enterprises pioneering in niche markets. Increasing investment abroad, expanding the presence of Vietnamese enterprises in key economic centers of the world.

"This is not just a story of exporting goods, but also a process of positioning the national brand through the capacity of Vietnamese enterprises," Ms. Mai Thi Thu Hien emphasized.

Real business support

The draft Go Global Program is designed in three implementation phases:

Phase 1 (2026-2027): Initiating, perfecting institutions, disseminating information, raising awareness and forming an ecosystem to support businesses to reach out to international markets.

Phase 2 (2028-2030): Pilot, support leading and pioneering enterprises in the fields of export, investment, and cross-border e-commerce.

Phase 3 (2031-2035): Strengthening, expanding and effectively operating the business support network, gradually integrating deeply into the global value chain.

The four key directions of the program include:

Develop a market strategy based on a broad and multi-modal model, both expanding new markets and increasing penetration in key markets through investment and brand presence.

Building a business system with modern, transparent management, complying with international standards, and at the same time forming a team of global entrepreneurs with strategic thinking, innovative capacity and understanding of international culture.

Developing a pioneering business force, including a group of leading large enterprises and a group of small and medium-sized enterprises pioneering in penetrating foreign markets.

Build and synchronize the national data information ecosystem with the Go Global Portal and a consulting network to support Vietnamese businesses in international markets.

According to Ms. Mai Thi Thu Hien, the program does not only stop at orientation but also sets out specific groups of tasks to support private enterprises to "Go Global" in a substantial way.

To implement the program, the Ministry of Industry and Trade will build a foundation of awareness and integration capacity through training, consulting and providing in-depth information to businesses on investment strategies, international governance and foreign legal standards.

Next, the program will pilot an overseas investment model, prioritizing merger and acquisition (M&A) projects to help Vietnamese businesses access raw materials, international supply chains and consumer markets.

In particular, "Go Global" also focuses on promoting online exports through cross-border e-commerce platforms, helping Vietnamese businesses, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, effectively participate in the global market at lower costs.

"We want to create Vietnamese businesses that truly 'go global' with their own products, intelligence and brands, not just manufacturing for others," Ms. Hien emphasized.

In addition, the program also aims to perfect institutions, improve the business environment to international standards, strengthen export credit policies, develop logistics networks and distribution centers in key markets, to effectively support Vietnamese enterprises to expand abroad.
