Sustainability Conference & Panel Workshop - Going Green with the Dutch

DBAV, The Netherlands Embassy & Consulate General, Climate Fund Managers and EuroCham jointly organize 

Vietnam and The Netherlands have much in common and foster a great and developing trading relation. 

One of the key challenges facing Vietnam is the battle against climate change. A new, more sustainable way of thinking needs to become common practice in both countries. This is why both countries have been actively working together on the topic of sustainability in a wide variety of projects. 

The Dutch bring expertise, technologies, and knowledge in the field of sustainability in Vietnam to the table. Therefore we participate with an NL Pavilion at GEFE 2022. Dutch Business Association Vietnam in collaboration with the Dutch Embassy & Consulate General and EuroCham jointly organize:

Going Green with the Dutch - Solutions, Technologies, and Adaptations from The Netherlands 

• Date: Thursday 21 July 2022
• Time: 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM
• Venue: Eastin Grand Hotel Saigon, 253 Nguyen Van Troi Street, Ward 10, Phu Nhuan District, Ho Chi Minh City

A prelude event to Green Economy Forum & Exhibition

This event is also a promotion event for the Green Economy Forum and Exhibition (GEFE 2022)

EuroCham, of which DBAV is an affiliated business chamber, will host the "Green Economy Forum & Exhibition (GEFE) 2022" from November 28 to 30 at Sala's THISO SkyHall in Ho Chi Minh City. The event's primary objective is to support Vietnam in achieving its COP26 commitments and the socio-economic development goals specified in its National Green Growth Strategy for 2021-2030.

GEFE 2022 will bring together experts across sustainable business and governance for three days of conferences, exhibitions, and high-level B2B and B2G dialogue sessions, along with EuroCham Vietnam's Green Business Awards and annual Gala Dinner. The whole slate of events will act as a platform to enhance cooperation between European and Vietnamese business communities and to promote a sustainable green Vietnamese economy through expertise sharing and technology transfer initiatives.
