[HO CHI MINH CITY, 3 October 2022] – The European Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam (EuroCham Vietnam) is hosting the Green Economy Forum & Exhibition (GEFE) 2022 at THISO SkyHall in Ho Chi Minh City from November 28 to 30. This event will advance EU-Vietnam sustainable development cooperation through comprehensive dialogue, investment coordination, knowledge sharing, and technology transfer.

GEFE 2022’s first day will feature a plenary conference, where high-level representatives of the European and Vietnamese governments and business stakeholders will discuss sustainable development, energy policy and climate risk management. Representatives of EU Member States, diplomatic and trade promotion officials, and international organizations like The World Bank are confirmed to attend. EuroCham is currently arranging for a European Union Commissioner and a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) to participate.

The Vietnam Trade Promotion Agency (VIETRADE), under the Ministry of Industry and Trade, also signed a memorandum of understanding with EuroCham on 3 October for co-organizing GEFE 2022, and strengthening links between Vietnamese and European business communities. As part of its agreement with EuroCham, VIETRADE will provide support in recruiting Vietnamese companies and exhibitors for GEFE 2022 and its Vietnamese National Pavilion.

 

 

In addition to EuroCham and VIETRADE, GEFE 2022 is being supported by the Delegation of the European Union to Vietnam, EuroCham’s nine affiliated national European business associations, European embassies and governmental organizations, as well as the Vietnamese government and its ministries.

 

EuroCham is also partnering with Schoolab to launch the Sustainable Innovation Lab at GEFE 2022. Students from leading universities in Asia and Europe will join forces with businesses to develop solutions to real-world business, environmental, and social problems. For the success of all participants, Schoolab, academic institutions, experts, and business professionals will provide mentoring services.
