Ai Group Australia-Vietnam Business Engagement Program

While Vietnam presents enormous growth potential for Australia, many small and regional businesses are not benefitting from these opportunities due to a lack of skills, knowledge, capability, and practical advice.

Some key reasons why Australian companies should consider doing business with Vietnam:

  • Strong GDP growth expected to continue for medium term, a shift towards a more market-based economy and driven by export-oriented manufacturing, and foreign direct investment.
  • The fastest-growing middle and affluent class in the region, with young consumers who are amongst the most optimistic in the world providing the right demographics for growth and receptivity to imported goods and services.
  • Strong long-term growth in Australian exports, rising from $8 billion in 2020 to $10.8 billion 2021, an increase of 36 per cent.
  • Australian companies are well-received in Vietnam with education, agriculture and food exports all have a formidable reputation in the market.
  • Long-term trade and investment opportunities should increase in line with Vietnam’s progress in implementing its trade commitments and administrative reform program.
  • Leverage Australia’s Free Trade Agreements with Vietnam for preferential treatment.

 

Ai Group Australia-Vietnam Business Engagement Program helps you get-started, expand and/or diversify your two-way trade, business and investment, and supply chains to Vietnam. The program activities are designed to increase your skills, capabilities, insights, and networks to engage with Vietnam. Through participation in the program, you will be able to build more resilient exports through market diversification to Vietnam, benefiting your business longer-term stability and growth.

This will lead to the development of an evidence-based engagement plan for Vietnam that will enable the continuous harnessing of opportunities for Australian goods, services, and expertise.

Businesses that participate in this Program will have an opportunity to join the Trade Mission and Market Visit Program to Vietnam in March 2024.
