Fidinam Podcast - Unlocking Vietnam: The New Expansion Target for French Investors in Hong Kong

Written by Fidinam News | 24/02/25

As Vietnam’s economy thrives, an increasing number of French businesses in Hong Kong are looking to expand their presence in the region.

Traditionally focused on China, these companies are now exploring Vietnam as a complementary market - particularly in the luxury and retail sectors - attracted by its growing middle class, economic stability, and strategic Free Trade Agreements.

 

In this episode of Unlocking Vietnam, Marie Wegiera, Senior Manager French Desk APAC at Fidinam, is joined by two experts:

  • Irène Tchedre, Managing Director of the French Desk Asia-Pacific at Fidinam
  • Adam Koulaksezian, Executive Director of the French Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam

Together, they discuss the key factors driving this expansion, including Vietnam’s evolving investment landscape, the challenges foreign businesses face, and how companies can successfully navigate this transition.

Vietnam presents exciting opportunities, but it also comes with unique regulatory and operational considerations. From legal frameworks to talent acquisition and infrastructure development, our guests share practical insights for companies looking to establish a foothold in the Vietnamese market.

Join us as we uncover the growing appeal of Vietnam for French businesses in Hong Kong and explore what it takes to successfully expand into this dynamic market. The French business community, in particular, benefits from the positive perception of French products in Vietnam, reinforcing the country’s appeal.
