Workshop titled “M&A – The Emerging Local Forces” discusses a more practical perspective on the rise of M&A activities by Vietnamese companies to restructure and expand their eco-system.

With the expectation to have more than 250 guests from state management agencies, investment funds, as well as domestic and international consulting firms, the workshop will discuss many outstanding mergers and acquisitions (M&A) issues, such as the rise of Vietnamese groups in the M&A scene.

Especially Nova Group will be taken as a case study of acquiring the requisite scale and capabilities to become a heavy-weight contender in the M&A market.

The Vietnamese economy has been turning heads around the world in recent years with big private corporations like Vingroup, Sun Group, T&T Group, THACO, Vietjet, Masan, Nova Group, and others.

Vietnamese companies have been appearing on the buyer’s side in big M&A deals, breaking the long-standing domination of foreign investors.

As the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic continues to disrupt international trade in 2021, Vietnamese companies stand to make tremendous gains with large-scale M&A deals.

Workshop “M&A – The Emerging Local Forces”

May 7, 2021 at Novaland Gallery, 179 Hai Ba Trung, District 3, Ho Chi Minh City
