Our managing partner gave a keynote at the Bloomberg Businessweek conference in Ho Chi Minh City

At the recent Vietnam Future Economy Summit 2025, promoted by Bloomberg Businessweek Vietnam, our managing partner, Jochen Biedermann, delivered an insightful keynote on what it truly takes to build a thriving international financial center:

"The message for building an international financial center? First, you must build a strong domestic financial system."
— Jochen Biedermann

His keynote was followed by a panel titled: "Vietnam to Become a Global Capital Hub." Vietnam is moving forward with an ambitious vision — establishing an international financial center as a gateway for global capital and foreign investors. The ambition is clear, but the path is less certain.

Moderated by Tran Minh Ngan, Bloomberg Businessweek Vietnam, Jochen discussed with Quang Huynh, Chief Country Officer, Deutsche Bank Vietnam, the opportunities Vietnam can seize and the obstacles that stand in the way.

We thank the Bloomberg Businessweek Vietnam team for organizing an excellent event. In addition to the outstanding speeches and discussions from over 30 domestic and international speakers, the Vietnam Future Economy Summit 2025 also brought together over 900 attendees.
