FBU Vietnam Masterclass 2026:

The Hanoi University of Finance and Banking (FBU) recently organized the FBU Vietnam Masterclass 2026, a high-level training workshop themed "Digital Superpower for SMEs." This large-scale economic and educational event brought together policy-making officials, international financial experts, and hundreds of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) from ASEAN countries to shape the digital era and expand cross-border capital flows.

The FBU Vietnam Masterclass 2026 advanced training program takes place against the backdrop of Southeast Asian countries strengthening their economic integration. The event is co-hosted by three prestigious organizations: the Hanoi University of Finance and Banking (FBU), a leading higher education institution in finance and banking in Vietnam; Simtify, a pioneer in innovation and corporate finance modeling; and GMx, a regional investor portal representing capital flows and strategic networks in the Singapore -Johor Economic Corridor.

A bridge for knowledge and a genuine digital launchpad for ASEAN.

In his opening remarks, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Bui Xuan Bien, Chairman of the Board of the Hanoi University of Finance and Banking (FBU), emphasized the strategic vision of a unified ASEAN and affirmed the crucial role of SMEs in accessing new technological capabilities.

Associate Professor Bui Xuan Bien, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Hanoi University of Finance and Banking, delivered a speech at the conference.

The Chairman of the School Board pointed out that, in the trend of globalization, ASEAN is no longer a collection of many separate markets but is strongly transforming into a unified investment corridor, where capital, technology, and talent move across borders at an unprecedented speed.

In this context, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) – the largest sector in the economies of most ASEAN countries – are crucial drivers, but they also need to be equipped with the most substantial digital capabilities to avoid being left behind. Artificial intelligence , next-generation financial modeling, and regional investment corridors are no longer just the domain of multinational corporations. These are opportunities opening up for SMEs themselves – if we know how to systematize knowledge, standardize operational capabilities, and prepare for capital mobilization in an increasingly digitized world.

Emphasizing the significance of the event, which goes beyond a short-term training course, the Chairman of the FBU Board of Trustees declared this a long-term commitment by the university to partner with businesses. FBU positions itself as a strong bridge between academic research and business practice, between technological capabilities and the sustainable development needs of SMEs across the region.

A comprehensive perspective on policy and technological solutions.
