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

You are cordially invited to join us for the final GBA Business Meeting of the year, titled "Vietnam 2025: Navigating Geopolitical and Economic Currents". As we look ahead to the coming year, Vietnam stands at a pivotal juncture, influenced by dynamic geopolitical shifts and evolving economic landscapes.


In this meeting, we will explore the key factors shaping Vietnam's future, including its strategic positioning in Southeast Asia, the impact of global trade dynamics esp. after the US elections, and the country's economic growth prospects. We will also delve intothe challenges and opportunities presented by regional and international relations.


Our goal is to gain a comprehensive understanding of these currents and to strategize on how these developments will impact your company and its operations in Vietnam. Let's engage in a thoughtful and forward-looking dialogue to better prepare for the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead, ensuring your business remains resilient and prosperous in this evolving landscape.
