The most consequential movements in private capital often take shape before they become visible in headline transactions.

Across Asia, M&A increasingly reflects structural shifts in capital allocation, leadership transition, liquidity, regulation, and long-term strategic positioning. This perspective anchors the theme of Venture Forum 2026:

"𝐕𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐧𝐚𝐦’𝐬 𝐌&𝐀 𝐌𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 – 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐔𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐃𝐲𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐬"

The forum will examine the forces shaping Vietnam’s next market cycle:
• Regional corporates pursuing Vietnam as a platform for strategic expansion
• Founders reassessing growth, control, liquidity, and exit pathways
• DPI and distribution emerging as priority considerations for private capital
• Succession dynamics driving a new wave of ownership transition
• Regulation shaping both opportunity and ex*****on complexity

Venture Forum 2026 will bring together investors, corporates, founders, policymakers, and ecosystem leaders to examine the structural dynamics behind Vietnam’s next chapter of value creation.

Further updates on speakers, panels, and forum activities will be shared in the coming days. We look forward to welcoming the community on 12 June 2026 in Ho Chi Minh City.
