SEIZE ASEAN TEXTILE MARKET OPPORTUNITIES · CAPTURE INDUSTRY DIVIDENDS! VIETNAM BUSINESS & TECHNOLOGY MISSION - NOW OPEN FOR REGISTRATION!

Vietnam is fast becoming a vital hub in the global textile industry, powered by preferential tariffs, a young and dynamic workforce, and strong government support under the Textile and Garment Industry Development Strategy to 2030, attracting growing global investment.

As a global trade and supply chain hub, Hong Kong is the gateway to ASEAN expansion. Organised by the Hong Kong Young Scientist Association and the Hong Kong Productivity Council, this "Go Global: Vietnam Business & Technology Mission" covers the entire textile value chain, offering market insights, Vietnam entry strategies, and direct access to local resources.

What Makes This Mission Stand Out?
• Deep Dives into Policy & Risk Management: Engage with the Vietnam Textile and Apparel Association (VITAS) and the Ho Chi Minh City’s Department of Industry and Trade. Obtain first-hand policy updates, investment guidelines, and a comprehensive understanding of industry regulations, market trends, and the investment landscape while learning how to maximise policy advantages and mitigate operational risks.
• Proven Practices from Benchmark Enterprises: Visit successful Hong Kong and mainland-invested companies in Vietnam, including South Ocean Textiles, Vitasoy International and Shenzhou International. Learn from their practical experience in production management, human resources and cross-border logistics.
• Global Networking at SaigonTex 2026: Participate in SigonTex 2026 to explore the latest industry technologies and trends. Connect directly with international buyers and suppliers to unlock collaboration opportunities.
• On-Site Industrial Chain Exploration: Visit local fabric markets and Chinese-invested manufacturing facilities to understand raw material supply, pricing trends and quality inspection standards. Develop a deeper understanding of ASEAN’s textile supply chain integration and learn how to build stable, efficient procurement and production systems.
• Cross-Platform Business Connections: Engage with the China Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam and local business representatives. Forge on-the-ground partnerships to lay a solid foundation for expanding into ASEAN and global markets.
