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

Join us for the GBA Members for Members Workshop "Next-Gen Logistics: The Role of EV Trucks in the Green Transition" co-hosted by LOGIVAN Logistics Group and FGF Services and Trading JSC on Thursday, December 12 in Ho Chi Minh City to dive into the transition to Electric Vehicles. EV trucks reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 58% throughout their lifespan - and by charging with renewables in the energy mix this saving can be increased to over 90%.


With zero exhaust emissions, EVs contribute to cleaner air - a shift that Chinese cities have demonstrated impressively over the past five years. However to capture these benefits, a methodical approach is essential. In this session, we will explore the key considerations for leaders looking to start on the path towards green logistics, equipping you with the insights to make sustainable logistics a reality in your company.
