INTRODUCTION

The Vietnam CFO Summit 2025, organized by CFO Vietnam, is the nation’s leading platform where financial leaders, policymakers, and innovators gather to shape the future of finance. Taking place as Vietnam accelerates its ambition to establish International Financial Centers in Ho Chi Minh City and Danang with strong government support, the Summit comes at a pivotal moment in the country’s economic transformation.

The theme of this year’s Summit, “Empowering CFOs for a Global Financial Center”, highlights the central role of finance leaders in driving Vietnam’s journey toward global integration. Today’s CFOs are not only custodians of financial health but also architects of transformation, developing world-class talent, adopting digital finance, leveraging artificial intelligence, and navigating emerging opportunities such as blockchain and digital assets.

The Summit will bring together more than 400 CFOs, executives, regulators, academics, and advisors to exchange insights and best practices. Key sessions will explore strategies for building future-ready finance teams, harnessing technology for decision-making, aligning with ESG standards, and positioning Vietnam as a trusted global financial hub.

More than a conference, the Vietnam CFO Summit 2025 is a catalyst empowering today’s CFOs and inspiring the next generation of leaders for a thriving International Financial Center.
