The Ho Chi Minh City Economic Forum (HEF), established in 2018 and organized annually by the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee, serves as a premier international platform for dialogue. It convenes government leaders, eminent experts, and business representatives from around the world to deliberate on critical economic issues in alignment with Vietnam’s development priorities.

HEF is honored to convene a distinguished gathering of visionaries, innovators, and policymakers at the forefront of the intelligent economy revolution. Our speakers are chosen for their exceptional expertise and demonstrated ability to translate strategic vision into practical outcomes, spanning cutting-edge technologies to real-world applications.
