Growth Economic Forum & Exhibition

𝗔 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱-𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗿: 𝗚𝗘𝗙𝗘 𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴!
🌟 From Green Economy Forum & Exhibition to 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 𝗘𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝘂𝗺 & 𝗘𝘅𝗵𝗶𝗯𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

Since 2022, EuroCham Vietnam's flagship GEFE (and GEF) has brought Europe and Vietnam together to explore what the green transition means for business, investment, and sustainable development. That conversation has evolved and so has GEFE.

🌱 Green and Growth are no longer separate agendas. 𝗔𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗲, 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗯𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻. The industries that stay competitive, the infrastructure that attracts investment, the innovation that drives productivity, and the economies that remain resilient will increasingly be the ones built with sustainability at their core.

📌 Green is our foundation. Growth is our ambition. 𝗚𝗘𝗙𝗘𝟮𝟳: 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵.

This evolution builds on the heritage of previous editions, while keeping what matters most: bringing Europe and Vietnam together, fostering meaningful connections, and turning dialogue into practical opportunities and solutions.

Across three days, GEFE27 will explore sustainable growth, how green powers competitive industries, and how green shapes the digital future, alongside new-format conferences, an expanded exhibition, B2B matchmaking, and a Student Day.

𝗝𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝘂𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗿!
