VinaCapital organized its first Investor Conference in 2005 as an opportunity to introduce Vietnam and its attractive investment opportunities to international investors. The series of events provided investors with a hands-on experience of Vietnam, witnessing the country’s development, as well as listening to unique perspectives and views from a variety of experts, playing an important role in attracting international investment to Vietnam. Mr. Don Lam, CEO and Founding Shareholder of VinaCapital Group, said that of the more than 150 investors attending the conference, the majority were from North Asia such as Korea and Japan. These investors represented corporations and investment funds managing approximately 1,000 billion USD in capital.

Vietnam's attraction in the eyes of Korean 'eagles'

The sharp increase in the number of attendees this year shows that Vietnam is a more attractive investment destination than ever. This is an opportunity for VinaCapital experts to share more about attractive investment opportunities in the Vietnamese market. According to Mr. Don Lam, through a preliminary survey, foreign investors are particularly interested in the story of green transformation and the potential of the consumer sector in Vietnam, especially the semiconductor and chip industries. This will be an opportunity for Vietnam to attract more medium- and long-term capital flows, contributing to promoting sustainable economic growth in the coming time. In addition to investment funds, VinaCapital Group is also aiming for sustainable development goals and green transformation, contributing to consolidating a solid foundation for the economy to continue to grow strongly and comprehensively. “Clean energy and renewable energy projects, the recently launched VinaCarbon climate impact investment fund, the Circular Economy Development Research Institute that we co-founded, or the EDGE Champion certification awarded by IFC to our real estate projects are proof of VinaCapital's commitment to always be a pioneer in the journey of sustainable economic development in Vietnam,” Mr. Don Lam shared.

The conference featured many speakers representing various industries and sectors, from technology startups to large industrial corporations and financial institutions. Mr. Marc Knapper, US Ambassador to Vietnam, delivered a speech on the Vietnam-US Comprehensive Strategic Partnership and economic cooperation opportunities between the two countries for US companies and investors./.
