The German Business Association (GBA) was pleased to participate in the official launch ceremony of the preview version of the Ho Chi Minh City Digital Investment Promotion Infrastructure (HCMCInvest), represented by Mr. Alexander Ziehe, Chairman of GBA, and Ms. Quynh Anh Le, Executive Director of GBA.
The event marked an important milestone in Ho Chi Minh City’s digital transformation journey, introducing a new digital investment promotion infrastructure designed to modernize investment promotion, improve transparency, and strengthen connectivity between government agencies, businesses, and investors. The initiative reflects the city’s commitment to building a more efficient, data-driven, and investor-friendly business environment.
In his opening remarks, Mr. Nguyen Van Duoc, Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee, emphasized that HCMCInvest was developed to make investment information more accessible while reducing the time and effort required for investors to identify and evaluate opportunities. As a preview version, the platform will continue to be refined through feedback and practical experience from businesses and investors, with the city encouraging users to actively explore the platform and contribute recommendations for its further enhancement before the official rollout.
Following the launch, the platform was introduced as a bilingual digital gateway currently featuring around 250 investment projects across sectors such as logistics, infrastructure, healthcare, education, and culture. Through an integrated digital interface, investors can explore project information, submit inquiries, request further support, and connect directly with relevant government agencies throughout the investment process. Leveraging AI and real-time data, HCMCInvest further enhances the investment experience by supporting project discovery, improving information accessibility, and enabling more efficient interaction between investors and public authorities. The platform also incorporates real-time dashboards and AI-enabled tools to strengthen investment promotion while supporting—not replacing—investment decision-making.
The launch of HCMCInvest also demonstrates Ho Chi Minh City’s continued efforts to strengthen engagement with the international business community. GBA highly appreciates the ongoing commitment of the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee and ITPC to fostering an open and constructive dialogue with foreign investors and business associations.
As the leading representative of the German business community in Vietnam, GBA remains committed to working closely with Ho Chi Minh City, ITPC, and its partners to promote Vietnam as an attractive investment destination, facilitate meaningful business connections, and further advance German-Vietnamese economic cooperation.
