As the focal point of German business life, culture, and values in Vietnam, we have developed an extensive network that offers various opportunities for the prosperity of the German community through events, resources, and networks.
Our goal is not only to promote German traditional values but also to ensure that individuals from Germany become well-integrated into Vietnamese culture. Drawing on the strong foundation of relation between Vietnam and Germany, we believe there are many more achievements to come in terms of fostering cultural understanding and facilitating meaningful people-to-people exchanges.

GBA Events
Monthly Business Meeting
A GBA key event is the Monthly Business Meeting which is conducted under the chair of one of the Board members.
