VIR seminar to explore innovative global supply chains in Hanoi
em VIR em will organise a seminar titled Reaching out to innovative global supply chains in Hanoi bringing together government agencies diplomatic missions businesses business associations and economic experts on October 8
An international business conference in Hanoi will delve into the strategies for Vietnam to harness its growing influx of foreign investment more effectively. The seminar, organized by VIR, will convene policymakers, businesses, industry associations, and experts on October 8 at VIR's headquarters to discuss how to convert international investment resources into domestic economic capabilities.
The event coincides with Vietnam's shift towards attracting high-quality, technology-driven, and value-added foreign direct investment (FDI), as outlined in Resolution No.10-NQ/TW issued by the Politburo on June 8. Party General Secretary and President To Lam emphasized that Vietnam should not blindly accept foreign investment but should prioritize investments that generate significant added value for the economy.
Resolution No.280/NQ-CP, issued on September 22, outlines the government's action plan to implement Resolution 10, focusing on strengthening linkages between foreign-invested and domestic businesses, promoting technology transfer, developing human resources, and enhancing the capacity of Vietnamese enterprises to participate in global value chains.
The seminar's key objective is to identify ways to translate the policy orientations of Resolution 10 and 280 into practical measures. Discussions will cover technology transfer, human resource development, management capacity, production standards, and expanding domestic supplier networks. The goal is to strengthen Vietnam's position within global value chains by fostering closer ties between foreign-invested enterprises and Vietnamese businesses.
Notable speakers will include a leader from the Ministry of Finance, as well as representatives from Samsung Vietnam, SCG Vietnam, and VPBank. A panel discussion will delve into the new requirements arising from the resolution and the government's action plan, exploring strategies to create a more favorable environment for Vietnamese businesses to boost competitiveness and deepen participation in global supply chains.
The seminar comes amid strong growth in foreign investment flows to Vietnam. As of September 30, 2026, total registered foreign investment in the country reached nearly $50.4 billion, representing a 76.4 percent year-over-year increase. Disbursed FDI in the first nine months of 2026 was estimated at $21 billion, up around 12 percent compared to the same period in 2025.
These figures underscore Vietnam's continued appeal to international investors while highlighting the need to further enhance the sector's spillover effects on the domestic economy.
