The event started in Silicon Valley, where HCM City representatives engaged with U.S. partners on strategies for semiconductor and microchip technology development, aimed at enhancing the competitiveness in key industries.
The discussions garnered valuable insights and recommendations for workforce development.
In New York, HCM City’s leaders and hundreds of U.S. partners discussed prospects for transforming the city into a modern financial hub and explored investment opportunities with leading U.S. financial institutions.
The dialogues emphasized the importance of bilateral cooperation in establishing the city as a prominent financial center in the region.
The series concluded in Boston, where businesses met with professors and scholars from Harvard University, MIT and other prestigious institutions to discuss ideas for creating a next-generation scientific library.
This initiative is anticipated to establish a foundation for the city to become a knowledge hub for Vietnam and the region in the near future.
Throughout the seven days of the forum, numerous agreements and memoranda of understanding were signed between HCM City entities and U.S. partners.
Following the forum, in mid-November 2024, top U.S. investment funds will travel to HCM City to hold workshops and share IPO experiences, contributing insights for the establishment of a financial center.
By early 2025, over 30 U.S. businesses are committed to returning to Vietnam to implement signed agreements and further connect with the HCM City business community.
