A room full of the “right people”

Last Friday evening, we welcomed a full-capacity room of professionals from across Vietnam’s industrial and manufacturing ecosystem.

Not a large event.
But a very active one.

From the very beginning, the energy was clear:

Conversations started early.
Speakers engaged directly with the audience.

And even after the program, many stayed back — continuing discussions, exchanging contacts, and exploring opportunities.

Specials thanks to our co-host partners for their participation and support:
1.    European Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam (Eurocham) 
2.    The French Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Vietnam (CCIFV) 
3.    Dutch Business Association Vietnam – DBAV 
4.    Central and Eastern European Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam (CEEC) 
5.    The Belgium-Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam (BeluxCham) 
6.    Thai Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Vietnam (Thaicham) 
7.     Vietnam Industrial Zone Community 
8.     GBX全球貿易交流總會 (Global Business Exchange Association) 

A truly cross-border room

What made the evening even more meaningful was the diversity in the room.

Professionals from Vietnam, Europe, Thailand, and China came together.

Different backgrounds.
Different roles.
But a shared interest in building and growing within Vietnam’s industrial landscape.

A note on our guest

We had initially planned to welcome a representative from the Foreign Investment Agency, Ministry of Finance.

Due to a last-minute business trip, he could not join us this time.
We appreciate his support and look forward to having him at a future session.

Where community becomes visible

Two of the speakers — Jiangsu Hongbo Gas and Solarvest — are Corporate Members of Cross Connect Club (3C).

And this is where the difference becomes clear.

3C is a place to meet, but also a platform where companies can:

• Step forward and share their expertise

• Connect with the right audience

• And position themselves within a growing industrial network

To those who joined — thank you

You made the room what it was.

And if you couldn’t make it,
you probably missed a room full of people you would want to meet.

Check out some of many wonderful moments from the event.

What’s next

The next KCN CONNECT will take place on April 21 (morning).

Bringing the right people together.

For those who want to go further

If you are looking beyond attending and want to become part of the ecosystem,

Cross Connect Club (3C) is actively building a space where businesses can connect, contribute, and grow together over time.
