Why participate

Vietnam, with over 100 million inhabitants and an economic growth of +7.1% in 2024, is now Italy's main trading partner in South-East Asia. Thanks to the 'Đổi Mới' reforms, the country has developed a modern and competitive economy, supported by booming manufacturing, growing foreign investment and a dynamic middle class. The EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) opens up further horizons, consolidating Italy's role as a third European partner and creating a favourable framework for trade and industrial cooperation.
