UOB’s First Conference in Vietnam Gathers Leading Enterprises
The “Gateway to ASEAN” conference is an annual program organized by the United Overseas Bank (UOB) in the ASEAN region, aiming to expand trade and investment and promote economic growth in the area. This year, the conference was held in Vietnam for the first time after its success in Singapore and Indonesia in previous years. The event gathered over 600 guests, including leaders from various Vietnamese ministries and sectors, experts, and top enterprises in the ASEAN region, China, Hong Kong, and more.
With the theme “ASEAN: Crossroad to The World,” speakers shared insights on factors driving economic growth in the region, government policies facilitating cross-border trade, supply chain diversification, promoting the digital economy, and striving towards a net-zero emission target.
Attending the discussion panel on “Innovation with Sustainability,” Ms. Dang Huynh Uc My, Chairman of the Board of Directors of TTC AgriS and Betrimex, brought to the conference numerous solutions for investment, business, sustainable development, and the implementation of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) criteria from the practical successes of TTC AgriS and Betrimex – two leading high-tech agricultural enterprises in Vietnam.

Sustainable Development Efforts for National Agriculture
Addressing the conference, Chairman Dang Huynh Uc My expressed her pride in Vietnam’s agricultural development tradition and the achievements that have elevated Vietnamese enterprises to global heights. She affirmed, “As a Vietnamese, I always feel a great responsibility to support and develop the national economy, especially the manufacturing sector.” Accordingly, she has led TTC AgriS and Betrimex to become leaders in high-tech agriculture, enhancing the position and value of Vietnamese agricultural products in the international market.
Ms. My shared, “The digital transformation of the agricultural sector and sustainable development are enormous tasks. We have persevered in this endeavor throughout TTC AgriS’s 55 years of establishment, and we will continue striving in the next 50 years.” During the discussion, she offered insights and experiences of Vietnamese enterprises in overcoming challenges and sustainably developing agriculture. These included practical stories about convincing farmers to join digital transformation platforms, supporting local partners in elevating their businesses, and sharing knowledge and perspectives with international partners.
TTC AgriS and Betrimex are currently focusing on high-tech agriculture, providing organic, naturally-derived nutritional products. Both entities are applying ESG standards across their governance, production, and business operations, enhancing international management capabilities, and aiming for a net-zero emission target by 2035.
In the discussion, Chairman Uc My emphasized the importance of green finance in the economy’s transition towards sustainability. Appreciating UOB’s fresh perspective and the values it brings to customers and the Vietnamese market, she expressed her honor that Betrimex was the first recipient of green financing from UOB to support farmers in the Fairtrade program.

Alongside Betrimex’s partnership with UOB, TTC AgriS has also become a green destination for international financial institutions, attracting over USD 220 million in foreign capital within just one year.
Beyond the main discussion panels, the “Gateway to ASEAN” conference in 2024 provided an opportunity for leaders from various Vietnamese ministries and sectors, the Ho Chi Minh City government, and representatives of domestic and foreign corporations to connect, exchange insights, and seek potential business partners. “We have received positive feedback from the government, financial organizations, and the business community,” said Ms. My. “This triangular linkage is key to our collective advancement, sharing, and development on a common platform.”
Commenting on this year’s conference theme, “ASEAN: Crossroad to The World,” Chairman Uc My stated, “Vietnamese enterprises are now operating in multiple countries, and we have strong momentum in Asia. This presents a significant opportunity to harness the power of synergy to meet market demands, combine financial products, and turn actions into results.”
