On June 30th afternoon, the Vietnam Young Entrepreneurs Association officially announced the Vietnam Private Sector Economic Forum 2025 (VPSF 2025) with the theme “Unleashing Potential – Shaping Vietnam’s Future”
This national-scale forum will take place from July to September 2025, demonstrating the strong commitment of the business community in accompanying the government to promote institutional reform and economic development.
The event is organized under the guidance of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union Central Committee and the Vietnam Youth Federation Central Committee, in coordination with the Vietnam Association of Small and Medium Enterprises. This key activity aims to respond to the Party’s strategic quartet of resolutions: Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW, Resolution No. 59-NQ/TW, Resolution No. 66-NQ/TW, and Resolution No. 68-NQ/TW, with the goal of establishing a solid institutional foundation to realize the vision of a developed Vietnam with high income by 2045.
Speaking at the press conference, Ms. Pham Thi Bich Hue, Vice President of the Vietnam Young Entrepreneurs Association and Head of the Forum Organizing Committee, emphasized that VPSF 2025 is a continuation of the successful pioneering forums held in 2016 and 2017, which created a great resonance and contributed to shaping a new thinking in private sector development policies. These events promoted the birth of Resolution No. 10-NQ/TW (12th term) and subsequently Resolution No. 68-NQ/TW, affirming that the private sector is “one of the most important driving forces of the national economy.”
Therefore, according to the Head of the Forum Organizing Committee, VPSF 2025 is not just an event but a “three-round journey of dialogue: from localities to the Central, from practice to policy, and from the voice of entrepreneurs to the commitment of the Government.”
The forum is designed with a comprehensive policy dialogue structure as follows:
Round 1 (July – August 2025): Local-level dialogue in 10 clusters nationwide, focusing on four main topics: Autonomous Value Chain, Institutional Reform, Globalization of Vietnamese Values, and Strategic Capacity.
Round 2 (September 15th afternoon, 2025, in Hanoi): Four thematic dialogue sessions with the participation of ministries, sectors, businesses, and economic experts.
Round 3 (September 16th morning, 2025, in Hanoi): High-level plenary dialogue session chaired by the Government leaders. At this session, the Forum will issue the VPSF 2025 Joint Statement, reflecting the commitment of the private sector and policy-making agencies in creating a transparent and modern development environment suitable for the new era.
The forum’s outcomes will be compiled and published in the “Vietnam Private Sector White Book 2025.” This foundational document will reflect the reality, barriers, and proposed policy solutions to be sent to the Government, ministries, sectors, and localities.
Especially after the forum, the Vietnam Young Entrepreneurs Association will deploy two important initiatives. Firstly, building an independent tool to assess the readiness of localities to support private enterprises, thereby promoting competitive reform and improving the Provincial Competitiveness Index (PCI). Secondly, pioneering a training program for 10,000 CEOs in the private sector to enhance management capacity and strategic thinking, in line with the spirit of Resolution No. 68-NQ/TW.
In addition, the Organizing Committee affirmed that the private business community “does not ask for special privileges but only wishes for a transparent environment and an increasingly improved institution to contribute.”
VPSF 2025 is expected to become an effective policy dialogue ecosystem, contributing to unlocking resources, spreading the spirit of nation-building, and making the private sector the most important driving force of the economy in the new era.
