The partnership brings together AusCham’s Australia-Vietnam business network and VASI’s connections within Vietnam’s manufacturing and supporting industries. It provides a platform to explore commercial opportunities, strengthen industry engagement, and support closer collaboration between members of the two organisations.
Under the proposed framework, AusCham and VASI aim to work together across several priority areas, including:
B2B Business Matching and Supply-Chain Connections
Trade and Investment Promotion
Policy and Industry Dialogue
Capacity Building and Knowledge Sharing
Member Engagement and Mutual Support
Through these areas of cooperation, the two organisations seek to create practical opportunities for members to connect, exchange expertise, and develop business partnerships. The collaboration is intended to help businesses better understand local manufacturing capabilities, identify potential suppliers and partners, and explore opportunities within regional and international supply chains.
From AusCham’s perspective, the partnership reflects a continued commitment to strengthening member representation and engagement across key sectors of the Vietnamese economy. Closer cooperation with VASI will provide an additional channel for understanding industry priorities and incorporating business perspectives into AusCham’s advocacy and partnership activities.
The MOU is expected to serve as a framework for developing joint initiatives, with individual activities to be discussed and agreed by both organisations.
AusCham looks forward to working closely with VASI to deliver meaningful outcomes for members of both organisations and contribute to stronger Australia–Vietnam trade and investment ties.
