SBF Business Mission To Vietnam (Hanoi & Ho Chi Minh)

Date

7 - 12 April 2008

Singapore companies are keen to make their presence felt in Vietnam's booming economy - the fastest growing in Asia, after China. Singapore and Vietnam enjoy excellent bilateral relations and strong economic linkages, with Singapore consistently being one of Vietnam's top investors and trading partners. The complementary comparative advantages of both countries have enabled this partnership to grow from strength to strength. Trade between Singapore and the Vietnam rose by 15.4% in 2007 to S$13 billion and exports rose from S$8.7 billion in 2006 to S$9.8 billion in 2007.

Vietnam is also the most attractive destination for investment in production based on a selection of 20 emerging markets in the world based on standards such as production expenses, market scope, taxes, transport costs, import and export tariffs and other risk factors, especially the stock market.

The Vietnam Consumer Electronics Expo 2008 (VCE'08) is the premier opportunity for companies of all sizes, specialties and distribution channels to connect with buyers, persuade decision makers, influence policy makers. Look at the show from any perspectives and you'll find countless opportunities. VCE'08 is also a bridge between domestic manufacturers, distributors and foreign ones. Please visit http://www.vce.vn, the official event website for updates.

Vietnam Singapore Industrial Park (VSIP) is the Flagship co-operation project between the Governments of Vietnam and Singapore. VSIP provides a world-class manufacturing environment backed up by reliable infrastructure, high quality and all-round customer support.

Business opportunities in Vietnam includes urban infrastructure, ports & logistics sectors, real estate, finance, education, information technology, high tech industrial parks, tourism, investment and trade & services.
