Vietnam - Australia Green Transition Forum 2026

Event Overview

As global supply chains tighten requirements on carbon intensity, ESG compliance, and traceability, Vietnam is entering a decisive phase in its transition toward low-carbon, innovation-driven growth.

At the same time, Australia’s Southeast Asia Economic Strategy to 2040 identifies Vietnam as a priority partner in sectors including clean energy, sustainable agriculture, and advanced manufacturing.

Vietnam-Australia Green Transition Forum 2026 aims to translate this strategic alignment into practical collaboration opportunities, connecting Australian expertise with Vietnam’s rapidly expanding market.
