Cross Connect Club is happy to introduce Koen Soenens - General Sales & Marketing Director of DEEP C Industrial Zones and Vice Chair of BeluxCham Vietnam, will be joining us as a distinguished speaker at KCN CONNECT 01: Northern Vietnam.
With over 20 years of global experience across 30+ countries and 4 continents, Koen has consistently delivered strategic impact across business development, marketing, and high-performance sales. In his very first year at DEEP C, he led the team to a 23-year sales record, securing 19 manufacturing projects and nearly 900 million USD in investment—a powerful testament to his sharp commercial mindset and regional expertise.
Koen currently spearheads sales and marketing for DEEP C Industrial Zones, a flagship Belgian-backed infrastructure and industrial parks in Hai Phong and Quang Ninh, covering 3,400 hectares in Vietnam’s most dynamic manufacturing corridor. The zone’s strategic location—adjacent to international airports, deep-sea ports, and expressway networks—has made it a magnet for forward-thinking investors.
Having generated over 130 million USD in global sales across Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, Koen is more than a business leader—he’s a global connector and trusted advisor to investors navigating complex markets.
At KCN CONNECT 01, Koen will share not just BELUXCHAM's and DEEP C’s story but also valuable insights for companies seeking to enter or expand in Northern Vietnam.
We look forward to hearing his perspectives and tapping into the wisdom he brings from decades of hands-on, high-stakes experience.
Join us in Hanoi to hear directly from the experts who are already shaping the landscape of Vietnam industrial real estate.
