SG, Vietnam expand economic cooperation

The countries discussed closer partnerships in emerging areas like renewable energy.

Singapore and Vietnam are mulling broadening their economic cooperation with new trade and investment partnerships.

During the 16th Connectivity Ministerial Meeting, the parties discussed opportunities in emerging areas such as innovation, renewable energy, carbon credits and digital economy collaboration.

The counties also discussed the process of their partnerships across nine areas of economic cooperation namely: (i) investment; (ii) digital economy; (iii) finance; (iv) trade and services; (v) education and training; (vi) transportation; (vii) innovation; (viii) energy; and (ix) sustainability.

In the same event, the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) and the National Innovation Centre (NIC) under Vietnam’s Ministry of Planning and Investment inked a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on the establishment of the Singapore-Vietnam Innovation Workgroup.

The MoU aims to strengthen linkages between both countries’ innovation ecosystems through a partnership between government entities, Institutes of Higher Learning and private sector companies on both sides.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
