On a spring evening in New Delhi, diplomacy met enterprise with quiet precision. The Embassy of Viet Nam hosted the Viet Nam–India Electronics and IT Business Forum 2026. The forum brought together over 100 business leaders, policymakers, and industry stakeholders from both nations.
Held as part of commemorative engagements marking a decade of the Viet Nam–India Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, the forum reflected a relationship that continues to evolve. It has moved beyond intent to tangible economic alignment.
Electronics manufacturing, digital transformation, and emerging technologies shaped the core of discussions. These sectors will define the next decade of global growth.
Shared Vision for Innovation and Growth
Opening the session, Trade Counselor Bui Trung Thuong welcomed participants. H.E. Nguyen Thanh Hai, Ambassador of Viet Nam to India, delivered special remarks.
He framed the partnership within a shared vision. Viet Nam aims to become a high-income nation by 2045. India’s Viksit Bharat 2047 reflects a similar ambition. Both goals align through innovation, digital ecosystems, and global integration.
The forum balanced policy vision with industry realism. Presentations from VEIA and VINASA highlighted Viet Nam’s manufacturing strengths and digital growth. On the Indian side, MeitY Startup Hub, IEEMA, and NASSCOM shared insights into India’s innovation ecosystem.
From Dialogue to Practical Collaboration
Rather than remaining ceremonial, the forum moved toward practical engagement. Vietnamese enterprises introduced their capabilities and partnership interests.
Structured B2B meetings followed these presentations. Discussions covered electronics manufacturing, artificial intelligence, fintech, and ICT solutions. These sectors offer complementary strengths for both nations.
Over 20 industry bodies participated, including leading chambers of commerce. Their involvement expanded the dialogue beyond governments to institutions shaping trade and policy ecosystems.
Building the Future Through Collaboration
The forum concluded with meaningful conversations instead of formal declarations. Delegates focused on identifying partners, testing ideas, and building long-term collaborations.
In essence, the Viet Nam–India Electronics and IT Business Forum 2026 went beyond showcasing opportunities. It reaffirmed a maturing partnership defined by shared technological ambition and economic pragmatism.
The discussions highlighted one clear message—the future of growth lies in building together.
