About us
German Business Association (GBA)
The GBA, established in 1995, was among the first foreign business associations in Vietnam. Over the past 30 years, it has become a central hub for German business, culture, and values in the country. The association has supported German enterprises in expanding their operations, provided guidance on diverse issues, and facilitated numerous opportunities for both professional and social engagement throughout Vietnam.

Words From Our Members
“Rieckermann Vietnam, one of the longest-standing GBA members since 1995, has greatly benefited from GBA’s network. The GBA has significantly enhanced my professional journey in Vietnam. I have connected with insightful individuals and companies, gaining valuable experiences. The mix of formal events and social interactions creates a relaxed, open-minded atmosphere, making networking enjoyable.
As a non-profit, GBA thrives on collaboration, offering numerous opportunities and events. Members actively shape the organization’s future, making it ideal for newcomers and those seeking visibility. I highly recommend joining GBA to foster economic and social connections between German and European businesses in Vietnam.”
Felix Niesmann
General Director – Rieckermann Vietnam
“The GBA membership offers invaluable opportunities to learn and connect with professionals from various sectors. It helps us share challenges, discover opportunities, and understand industry trends and best practices. Initially, I was hesitant to join GBA events as a French national with limited German skills. However, the GBA board and members were incredibly welcoming, speaking English to accommodate me. This inclusivity motivates my team and me to proudly represent one of the largest German investors in Vietnam.”
Anthony Grandpierre
Country Manager – Messer Viet Nam
“Being a member of the German Business Association has been invaluable for Allianz Partners. The networking opportunities and collaborative environment have significantly enhanced our business relationships and market presence in Vietnam and across the Asia-Pacific region. The association’s commitment to fostering innovation and sustainability aligns perfectly with our values. We have greatly benefited from the shared knowledge and resources, which have empowered us to stay ahead in a dynamic and competitive market. We highly recommend membership to any business seeking to grow and succeed in Vietnam and beyond.”
Minh Nguyen
Country Leader – Allianz Partners Vietnam
“I have been part of the GBA community since my arrival in Vietnam in January 2021. In my experience, the GBA with its board and staff of the GBA support office, offers excellent value for its members by delivering quality events covering topics of relevance to its members. There is a great deal of advocacy through bilateral meetings with Vietnamese authorities relevant for the FDI community and also through participation in EuroCham activities. Finally, the GBA creates a community experience and an exchange platform amongst FDI businesses and their executives. Highly recommended!”
