DBAV – Building the Bridge Between the Netherlands and Vietnam

For 25 years, the Dutch Business Association Vietnam (DBAV) has been a trusted platform connecting the business communities of the Netherlands and Vietnam. Established as a gateway for trade, investment, and professional collaboration, DBAV has grown into a vibrant network of over 160 company members, ranging from leading multinationals to innovative SMEs, all working together to drive meaningful impact.

DBAV’s mission is clear: to build the bridge between the Netherlands and Vietnam, helping businesses and leaders make valuable connections, share knowledge and experience, and seize new opportunities. Its work is anchored in a four-pillar strategy:

• DBAV Connects – creating high-level networking opportunities through business breakfasts, luncheons, after-work drinks, and C-level events.

• DBAV Impact Series – providing thought leadership platforms where industry experts share insights and solutions for today’s business challenges.

• DBAV Business Services – supporting members with market entry, matchmaking, trade missions, and tailored services that accelerate growth.

• DBAV Partnerships for Advocacy – ensuring members’ voices are heard in policy dialogues through strong collaboration with EuroCham, government bodies, and diplomatic channels.

As DBAV celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2025, the association is doubling down on its commitment to deliver greater visibility, deeper engagement, and stronger bilateral cooperation between the Netherlands and Vietnam.

As a co-host of Smart Factory Connect 2025 at VSIP Bac Ninh Industrial Park, DBAV demonstrated its leadership in connecting industry experts, fostering collaboration, and shaping the future of Vietnam’s manufacturing ecosystem.

At Cross Connect Club, we are proud to feature DBAV as a long-standing partner — one that exemplifies trust, expertise, and international collaboration, and continues to strengthen the bridge between Europe and Vietnam’s fast-evolving business landscape.
