ASEAN Economic Forum 2025 to open in Singapore

Themed "Asean Economic Integration in the Era of Growth", the forum will create conditions to expand investment cooperation, and technology transfer, and strengthen intra-bloc economic connectivity amid increasing globalisation and digital transformation.

The event will be held on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of Vietnam's official accession to ASEAN, implementing a government resolution on improving the efficiency of international economic integration.

This will also be an opportunity for Vietnamese businesses to affirm their position, exchange, and find partners in the region.

The forum is a large, prestigious event held annually in different countries, gathering hundreds of registered businesses in banking and finance, insurance, oil and gas, digital transformation, electronics, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, high-tech agriculture, culture, tourism and services, healthcare, import and export, and logistics.

This is also an opportunity to promote brands, products, and business models, creating trust among partners, investors, and consumers at home and abroad.

The ASEAN Economic Forum 2025 will praise businesses and entrepreneurs who have been pioneering in the equalisation of business opportunities, realising the construction of a diversified and sustainable economy, while harmonising socioeconomic and environmental goals.

Nomination categories will include the ASEAN Typical Enterprises Award, ASEAN Green Brands Award, ASEAN Renowned Brands/ Products Award, and ASEAN Exceptional Entrepreneurs/ Leaders Award.

The event will be co-organised by Vietnamese and Singaporean partners and sponsored by the Vietnam-ASEAN Economic Development Cooperation Association, the Vietnam Union of Friendship Organisations, Redsun, and the Centre for Business and Brand Development, in coordination with relevant agencies.

Experts at the fourth Vietnam Economic Pulse Forum agreed that emerging trends in technology and environmental sustainability are especially significant for Vietnam.

Vietnam and ASEAN member states are jointly deploying measures to boost the region’s economy, with a focus laid on completing the upgrade of a regional agreement to expand trade and investment.
