EuroCham's Construction Sector Committee

Vietnam’s construction sector is experiencing dynamic growth, driven by rapid urbanisation, economic development, and a pressing need for sustainability. As the country implements its National Green Growth Strategy, architects, developers, and suppliers are increasingly recognising the importance of sustainable materials in shaping a greener future. But how prepared is Vietnam’s industry to adopt these solutions and overcome challenges to mainstream implementation?

Join EuroCham and its Construction Sector Committee for an engaging Breakfast Talk – Building Greener in 2025 – where we will explore: 

  • Industry trends: From bamboo and recycled composites to low-carbon cement and eco-friendly paints, discover how both local and imported sustainable materials are reshaping Vietnam’s construction landscap.
  • Regulatory drivers and certifications: Learn how local regulations and VGBC’s green building certification are incentivising green growth and transforming the market..
  • Real-world examples: Hear from industry leaders about their experiences with green materials – sourcing, pricing, scaling, and lessons learned along the way.
  • Action points: How can architects, suppliers, and policymakers collaborate to accelerate the adoption of green materials and align with Vietnam’s Green Growth Strategy?

With Vietnam’s commitment to sustainability and a booming construction market, now is the time to harness the potential of innovative green materials to build a more resilient and sustainable future. Book your ticket now!
