On 9 July 2026, EuroCham Vietnam’s Head of Marketing & Communications Pauline Dutertre, together with representatives from our affiliated Business Associations, attended the Announcement Ceremony of the Preview Version of the Ho Chi Minh City Digital Investment Promotion Infrastructure (HCMCInvest).
Designed to support both domestic and international investors, HCMCInvest is a digital platform that leverages AI and data-driven technologies to provide investment information and support services, enhancing transparency and simplifying access to investment opportunities in Ho Chi Minh City.
What the platform covers
Speaking at the ceremony, Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee Nguyen Van Duoc highlighted that HCMCInvest provides transparent, centralised access to information on urban planning, infrastructure, land resources, and priority investment sectors. By removing information barriers, the platform aims to create a more level playing field for businesses and strengthen investor confidence.
Looking ahead, he shared the city’s vision to develop a modern, user-friendly digital investment ecosystem that enables investors to access official information more efficiently, shorten market research time, and further enhance Ho Chi Minh City’s competitiveness as an investment destination.
Strategic partnerships for long-term improvement
The event also marked two strategic partnerships. The Ho Chi Minh City Investment and Trade Promotion Centre (ITPC) and Arobid.com, the platform’s operator, signed a Memorandum of Understanding to jointly manage, operate, and continuously improve HCMCInvest through a structured monitoring and evaluation framework. In addition, Arobid.com signed a strategic partnership with S&P Global to integrate globally standardised market intelligence into the platform, further improving data quality, transparency, and the city’s attractiveness to international investors.
What this means for EuroCham members
HCMCInvest represents an important step towards a more transparent, digital, and investor-friendly business environment. By providing easier access to official investment information and support services, the platform can help businesses identify opportunities, conduct market research more efficiently, and make more informed investment decisions.
EuroCham encourages members to explore the preview version of HCMCInvest and consider how its services can support their investment plans in Vietnam. We welcome Ho Chi Minh City’s continued efforts to modernise investment promotion and remain committed to supporting these initiatives through constructive public-private dialogue and data-driven policy recommendations.
