HKBAV – Connecting Vietnam & Hong Kong Business Communities for Global Growth

Founded in 1999 in Ho Chi Minh City and expanded to Hanoi in 2012, the Hong Kong Business Association Vietnam (HKBAV) has grown into one of the most respected and influential international business associations in the country. As a non-profit, non-governmental, and non-political membership organization, HKBAV serves as a vital bridge between Vietnam and Hong Kong, welcoming members of all nationalities who share a common interest in building meaningful business relationships.

Through years of active engagement, HKBAV has earned a trusted reputation among both local and international business communities. As a Consortium Associate Member of the Vietnam Business Forum, its members participate in industry working groups that shape policy and business environments. On the global stage, HKBAV holds a prestigious position as an Executive Committee Member of the Federation of Hong Kong Business Associations Worldwide (FHKBAW), connecting its members to a network of 48 Hong Kong Business Associations in 37 countries with nearly 11,000 individual associates.

HKBAV’s mission goes beyond networking—it drives two-way investment, trade, and strategic partnerships between Vietnam and Hong Kong. Whether supporting multinational corporations or agile SMEs, HKBAV provides a platform for knowledge exchange, market insights, and business collaboration, fostering alliances that open new opportunities under a truly global commercial sky.

Over the years, Cross Connect Club (3C) and HKBAV have partnered on numerous impactful events, bringing together industrial leaders, investors, and innovators. Most recently, HKBAV joined us as a co-host of Smart Factory Connect 2025 at VSIP Bac Ninh Industrial Park, reinforcing its role as a catalyst for industrial transformation and cross-border cooperation.

We are proud to feature HKBAV on the Cross Connect Club platform—not only as a valued partner but as a powerful connector of ideas, industries, and opportunities across Vietnam, Hong Kong, and the wider global business community.
