On 19 June, EuroCham Vietnam successfully hosted the “Da Nang Roundtable: Investing in the Region’s Future” at the Vietnam International Financial Centre in Da Nang (VIFC-DN). Following a visit of the VIFC-DN’s facilities, participants joined a panel discussion moderated by EuroCham Chief Delegate for Central Vietnam Mario Mendis.  

Our distinguished panellists included: Ms. Huynh Lien Phuong, Deputy Chief of Office, Da Nang People’s Committee; Ms. Hanh Pham, Partner and Head of Legal, Rödl Vietnam Legal Ltd, Mr. Austin Weyers, Managing Director, CVRBF. We also welcomed representatives from the VIFC-DN, who presented the Centre’s strategic vision and long-term development roadmap, focusing on six key pillars:  

With the ambition of building a transparent, modern, and resilient international financial centre, VIFC-DN’s Standing Vice-Chair Dang Dinh Duc highlighted the centre’s plans to establish a competitive, transparent, and investor-friendly regulatory and tax incentive framework to attract global investors and businesses.  

Building on these foundations, VIFC-DN welcomed greater participation from the European business community and invited EuroCham members to explore opportunities for engagement within the Centre’s evolving ecosystem.  

EuroCham appreciates the opportunity to learn about VIFC-DN’s vision and ongoing efforts, tour the Centre’s model, and engage in an open dialogue on opportunities and challenges. The chamber reaffirmed its readiness to support VIFC-DN’s development and commended its commitment to fostering a sustainable, transparent, and internationally competitive financial ecosystem that contributes to Vietnam’s long-term economic growth.
