What an incredible day of insights and inspiration for the NextGen community! 🇩🇪🇻🇳 We had the privilege of an exclusive visit to Deutsches Haus Ho Chi Minh City and the German Consulate General, and we left with a new perspective on the future of business in Vietnam.

Our deep dive into this hub of German-Vietnamese partnership included:
- A warm welcome at Deutsches Haus from General Director, Mr. Elmar Dutt, followed by a fascinating building tour that showcased the pinnacle of German engineering and sustainable "green" design.
- An insightful business update from Mr. Peter Kompella, Chief Representative of AHK Vietnam, who guided us through the latest on German trade, investment, and the massive opportunities that lie ahead.
- A crucial legal overview with the team at Luther Law Firm, helping us understand the legal framework for navigating the dynamic Vietnamese market.
- A capstone visit to the German Consulate General, where we gained a unique perspective on the diplomatic ties that strengthen the powerful relationship between our two nations.

💡 Our Key Takeaways for the Next Generation of Leaders:
- Sustainability is the New Standard: Deutsches Haus isn't just a building; it's a statement. We learned that true innovation integrates environmental responsibility from the ground up. For future leaders, green technology isn't a choice, it's a competitive advantage.
- Synergy Creates Success: Seeing world-class business (AHK), legal expertise (Luther), and diplomacy (Consulate) all thriving in or alongside this landmark building was a powerful lesson. The most successful ventures are built within a strong, interconnected ecosystem.
- The German-Vietnamese Partnership is Booming: The opportunities for collaboration are immense. Mr. Kompella’s insights, combined with the diplomatic perspective, confirmed that for anyone looking to make an impact, understanding this bilateral relationship is absolutely key.

A massive thank you to Deutsches Haus Ho Chi Minh City and Mr. Elmar Dutt for the warm welcome, AHK Vietnam and Mr. Peter Kompella for the invaluable guidance, Luther Law Firm for the legal expertise, and the German Consulate General for capping off our day perfectly. Thank you for generously sharing your knowledge with us. We're more energized than ever to build the future!

NextGenTreff July | Part 2

🚀 𝐑𝐨𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐧 - or The Art of Scale, as Sun Tzu might put it in a modern Art of War

Kevin Junker 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐬 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐞.
He co-founded Vikki Bank - Vietnam's fastest-growing digital bank in 2022 - and scaled it from 0 to 100 employees within a few months.
Now he’s on an even bigger mission: decarbonizing Southeast Asia with SmartSolar, his solar-energy financing startup. Just recently, Smart Solar secured $1.8 million in seed funding.
But what drives this success?
Kevin shared some of these insights at our last German Business Association - GBA Young Professionals event in Saigon last Thursday.

🔑 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬?

𝐑𝐮𝐥𝐞 #𝟏 – 𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧
Before launching, Kevin spoke to potential clients, listened to their needs, and made his first sale in a case study style before even registered his business. This helped him understand the demand, customer needs, and the supply chain behind it.

𝐑𝐮𝐥𝐞 #𝟐 – 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐫 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐭
By knowing his numbers and learning from industry pioneers, Kevin created a playbook - Vietnamese style. This gave him the confidence and clarity to pitch to investors
𝐑𝐮𝐥𝐞 #𝟑 – 𝐇𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠
Don’t overthink it - just do it.
From running a diving school to a YouTube channel, Kevin has always been hands-on. Success doesn't come overnight; it comes from experience.

These are just a few of the insights Kevin shared that evening.
Are you a young professional, student, or intern in Saigon?
