German Business Association (GBA)

GBA – the GERMAN BUSINESS ASSOCIATION – has been one of the first foreign business associations in Vietnam, starting its activities already back in 1995. For 30 years, GBA has been the focal point of German business life, culture, and values in Vietnam. It has helped German businesses in developing their operations, has advised on a wide range of topics, and created opportunities for business and social exchange across Vietnam.

Today, GBA has over 370 members, a reflection of the opportunities and dynamics of the Vietnamese market. It is one of the largest foreign business associations in Vietnam and a highly respected counterpart in the local community. In addition, GBA was one of the founding members of EuroCham Vietnam, a partnership that represents the pan-European activities and interests in Vietnam. A GBA membership automatically goes along with EuroCham membership and strengthens our ties with the other European business communities.

Event Details

The significance of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) in the workplace is increasingly recognized, with studies showing that companies with diverse and inclusive cultures surpass their financial goals. In fact, gender-diverse and inclusive teams outperform gender-homogeneous teams by 50% on average, according to research by Gartner. By embracing diverse perspectives and experiences, organizations can foster innovation, creativity, and better understand the needs and preferences of different customer segments.


To provide a comprehensive understanding and actionable insights into cultivating and fostering DE&I cultures, we are thrilled to host a session featuring successful DE&I initiatives from Bayer Vietnam, Bosch Vietnam, and DIGI-TEXX Vietnam. Our workshop will delve into key areas such as female leadership in tech, employment for disabled individuals and youth, and inclusive staff engagement.
