🌏 Vietnam-ASEAN Economic Cooperation Forum 2026
Approximately **25 Growflair Singapore members** and associates attended the Vietnam-ASEAN Economic Cooperation Forum 2026 at Marina Bay Sands on April 18, 2026, following a special invitation from **Mr. Cao Xuan Thang**, Commercial Counsellor and Director at the Vietnam Trade Office, Vietnam Embassy in Singapore.
The forum featured speakers from **Sembcorp, UOB, Vietnam Airlines, NSI, Tam Ang Hospital,** and **VNVC, Futa Land** and many more.
Discussions focused on investment opportunities between Vietnam and Singapore and highlighted Vietnam's rich commodities, such as coffee, cashew nuts, cordyceps, pistachios, dragon fruits, and avocados, which could become best-selling favorites in Singapore. ☕🍑🥑
Trade between Singapore and Vietnam has been increasing over the past few years, with projections estimating bilateral trade at $28.93 billion for 2023, $31.67 billion for 2024, and $40 billion for 2025. 📈
The Vietnam Embassy has invited Growflair members to attend the **2026 Vietnam International Sourcing Expo**, scheduled for September, where the entire Vietnamese entrepreneurial landscape and its factories will be showcased, allowing Singaporean entrepreneurs to outsource products from Vietnam. 🤝
This event has benefited our members and associates by connecting them with numerous partners from Vietnam and Singapore, as well as Vietnamese entrepreneurs. It was a fruitful event, and we look forward to attending more events organized by the Embassy and the Ministry of Trade of various countries. 🌟
This event was brought to you by the **Vietnam Trade Office** in Singapore and supported by Growflair. Thank you everyone for joining us! 🙏
