A taste of France

The French-backed Millennium Enterprise Forum will be held at the International Exhibition Centre, No91 Tran Hung Dao street, Hanoi.

Organised by Ubifrance, the forum, part of France’s French Week 2010 in Vietnam, will offer a big opportunity to 50 French enterprises who want to put their feet into Vietnam’s potential lucrative market. They will have 500 bilateral meetings with Vietnamese companies to share experience, transfer technology and ink investment and business contracts.

These French enterprises are operating in many different sectors such as transport and infrastructure, energy, environment, industrial equipment, communication, architecture, housing and interior decoration and designing, enterprise-supporting services, health care and cosmetics, fashion and luxury, and wine and foodstuff production and marketing.

The forum reflects a fact that Ubifrance always considers Vietnam as a prioritised investment destination for French enterprises, among 20 emerging countries of the world.
