Vietnam is the sole Southeast Asian nation with which the WEF has signed and implemented a cooperation deal under the public-private partnership format. As part of this important deal, the WEF provides support and consultancy to Vietnam on improving its capacity to join the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

The country organised the World Economic Forum on ASEAN (WEF-ASEAN 2018) in September last year under the theme of “ASEAN 4.0: Entrepreneurship and the Fourth Industrial Revolution.” WEF Founder and Executive Chairman Prof. Klaus Schwab said that the WEF-ASEAN 2018 is the most successful regional meeting of the WEF.
