What is the New Vietnam?

A gathering of the people actively shaping Vietnam's future, with co-creation, inspiration, food, music, and new connections.

About the Summit

Vietnam is in the middle of one of the most remarkable transformations in modern history. In a single generation, the country has moved from isolation to integration, from scarcity to ambition, from tradition to experimentation.

ViCo Summit 2026 asks a deliberately open question: what is the New Vietnam? We use it as a conversation starter, surfacing diverse perspectives on how working culture is shifting, how enterprise is evolving, how identity and creativity are being redefined, and where sustainability fits into all of it.

The Summit is ViCo's annual flagship: built around genuine connection and meaningful conversation rather than the standard conference format.

  • NGO and NPO professionals working on development and impact
  • Change-makers, sustainability and policy experts
  • Students from institutions like Fulbright University Vietnam
  • Members of international chambers and business associations

Marketplace

A curated set of organizations will have showcase tables during the event, giving you direct access to projects, ventures, and initiatives working on Vietnam's future. Contact us to host a table with your (sustainable/social) products.
