About the Event

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Viet Nam and the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Viet Nam warmly invite you to join a pivotal business mission on Circular Economy (CE) and Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP).

As part of this trade mission to the Netherlands, a dedicated Enterprises Matchmaking Event will take place on Thursday, 2 October 2025, in The Hague.

This event offers a unique opportunity to connect directly with Vietnamese businesses and government representatives who are actively seeking collaboration on sustainable solutions. It is designed to generate concrete outcomes, including:

  • Targeted B2B Matchmaking: Engage in pre-arranged meetings with Vietnamese companies and associations aligned with your interests.
  • Strategic Collaboration: Explore partnerships in high-impact sectors such as plastics, textiles, electronics, and waste management, supporting Viet Nam’s transition to a circular economy.

Over 60 participants are expected, including representatives from ministries, embassies, UNDP, industrial associations, companies, and experts from both countries.
