Don’t miss the 4th edition of the Vietnam ESG Investor Conference, taking place on May 26–27, 2026, at New World Saigon Hotel, Ho Chi Minh City. The event marks the return of one of Vietnam’s most impactful platforms connecting capital with ESG-driven investment opportunities.
The conference was founded and organized by Raise Partners, with the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) continuing as the leading government partner for the fourth consecutive year. Notably, 2026 marks the first year Ivy+Partners joins as co-organizer, alongside Vietnam Innovators Digest (by Vietcetera) as the exclusive community partner.
Under the theme Full Steam Ahead: Investing in Vietnam’s Evolution, this year’s conference reflects not only the country’s accelerating economic momentum, but also underscores the responsibility of investors in shaping a resilient and sustainable growth trajectory. The program moves beyond dialogue, focusing directly on capital allocation and partnership execution in practice.
Ms. Mimi Vu, Co-Founder & Partner at Raise Partners, shared:
“Over the past four years, ESG in Vietnam has evolved from skepticism to action and accountability. Today, ESG serves as a common language to build trust between investors and businesses. The 2026 edition will focus on translating Vietnam’s 5-year socio-economic development plan into concrete and investable opportunities.”
A Diverse Investment Ecosystem
Building on the success of the 2025 conference, which attracted nearly 300 organizations, this year’s event is expected to convene hundreds of fund managers, policymakers, and corporate leaders—from multinational corporations (MNCs) to SMEs and startups.
Confirmed speakers represent a diverse global ESG ecosystem, including organizations such as DFAT, Biti’s, Dynam Capital, Vietnam Holding, Center for Sustainable Finance and Private Wealth (CSP), Fair Wear, UNPRI, Dutch Fund for Climate and Development (DFCD), Index Partners, and more.
The two-day conference is designed to provide both strategic and practical perspectives on ESG investment in Vietnam:
- Day 1: Focuses on macro trends, policy direction, and capital market signals through keynotes and plenary discussions.
- Day 2: Shifts toward execution, featuring interactive sessions such as case studies, breakout discussions, deep-dive workshops, and deal labs across sectors.
Vietnam At An “Emerging Market” Inflection Point
The year 2026 marks a pivotal moment as Vietnam is expected to achieve FTSE Emerging Market status, signaling growing investor confidence and deeper integration into global capital markets.
To achieve its Net Zero target by 2050 and sustain high GDP growth ambitions, Vietnam must upgrade both traditional industries (textiles, electronics) and emerging sectors (semiconductors, renewable energy, digital infrastructure).
Ms. Ivy Nhi Chau, Founder & CEO of Ivy+Partners, commented:
“Vietnam ESG Investor Conference plays a critical role in bridging expectations between stakeholders. We aim to shape meaningful conversations and translate ESG implementation into clear, credible, and actionable investment opportunities.”
ESG As The “Entry Ticket” To Global Capital
Amid geopolitical uncertainty, global capital flows are increasingly favoring markets with green infrastructure and resilient supply chains. Mr. Craig Martin, CEO of Dynam Capital, emphasized that ESG is no longer a narrative, it is a decision-making framework. Businesses that demonstrate transparency and accountability will have a clear advantage in attracting high-quality capital.
As ESG becomes embedded in capital culture, Vietnam ESG Investor Conference 2026 serves as a call for stakeholders to come together, not only to participate in Vietnam’s growth, but to actively shape its long-term future.
