Strengthening Connections Between Finance and Industry

On January 7, 2026, a delegation from the Operating Agency of the Vietnam International Financial Centre in Ho Chi Minh City (VIFC-HCMC), in collaboration with the Ho Chi Minh City Institute for Development Studies (HIDS), conducted a working visit to TBS Group in Di An Ward.

The visit aimed to deepen engagement with leading domestic enterprises and explore how financial infrastructure can better support real-sector growth.

Insights from a Leading Industrial Group

During the session, representatives from TBS Group shared insights into the company’s development journey, operational model, and innovation strategy. The delegation also toured the company’s Research and Development (R&D) centers, gaining a closer look at how technology and product innovation are integrated into manufacturing.

The working session was attended by senior leadership from VIFC-HCMC, including its Chairman, alongside Mr. Nguyen Duc Thuan, Chairman of TBS Group, and experts from both organizations.

Bridging Financial Infrastructure with the Real Economy

Beyond a formal visit, the engagement reflects a broader strategic direction of VIFC-HCMC: ensuring that the development of the international financial center is closely aligned with the needs of the real economy.

By connecting with large industrial players, the financial center can better understand capital demand, supply chain dynamics, and innovation trends—key inputs for designing relevant financial products and services.

Outlook

As VIFC-HCMC continues to take shape, such engagements highlight the importance of linking finance with production, innovation, and enterprise ecosystems.

Strengthening these connections will be critical in ensuring that the financial center not only attracts global capital but also effectively channels it into high-impact sectors of the economy.
