Geneva business seminar discusses Da Nang development
The Swiss-Vietnamese Business Gateway (SVBG) and Geneva Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Services (CCIG) co-organized a business seminar titled “Da Nang – A Future Economic Center” in Geneva on May 24.
The event gathered businesses operating in many fields such as banking, asset management, information technology, law, and investment consulting.
In his opening speech, Vice Chairman of the Da Nang People’s Committee Ho Ky Minh briefed participants on the Vietnamese Central economic hub’s socio-economic development and policies serving future growth.
He stressed that the municipal authorities have proposed to the Vietnamese Government specific mechanisms and policies to form Da Nang international financial center and pay great attention to the development of high-tech sectors. The city is striving to lift the contribution rate of its Da Nang Hi-Tech Park to 10% - 15% of the gross regional domestic product (GRDP) in the 2025-2030 period.
This seminar is a premise to effectively connect Da Nang with the business community in Switzerland and other partners who have plans to expand their investment and business in the high-tech field, Minh noted.
