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.

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.

For the success of all participants, Schoolab, academic institutions, experts, and business professionals will provide mentoring services.
