Venture Forum 2026: The new meeting point for Asian technology investors and M&A enthusiasts.
On June 12th, at Vinpearl Landmark 81 (Ho Chi Minh City), more than 500 leaders from leading investment funds, financial institutions, and technology companies in Asia will attend Venture Forum 2026 – a high-level dialogue forum on M&A and private equity initiated by VinVentures (part of Vingroup). The event is expected to become one of the most notable gatherings of the year for technology and financial investors in the region.
The Venture Forum 2026, themed “Vietnam’s M&A Moment – The Unseen Dynamics,” was organized in collaboration with the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Science and Technology, Lotte Ventures, and Impact Square.
According to the organizers, Vietnam is increasingly becoming a noteworthy destination for technology capital and private investment in the region thanks to its long-term growth foundation, rapid digital transformation, and thriving innovation ecosystem. The Venture Forum 2026 is therefore expected to become a space for in-depth dialogue on the latest developments in the regional M&A market.
The event is expected to bring together 500 delegates from Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, and Vietnam, including leaders from investment funds, corporations, financial institutions, technology companies, and fast-growing startups.
The program includes six thematic discussion sessions, focusing on topics such as business valuation, M&A strategies of Asian corporations, the shift in private capital flows from disbursement to capital recovery and DPI, the role of policy in promoting transactions, and founders' decisions to expand or divest.
In addition to dialogue sessions, the forum also provides space for direct networking between investors and businesses to promote potential collaboration and transaction opportunities after the event.
According to the organizers, the long-term goal of Venture Forum is to gradually build an in-depth annual dialogue platform on M&A and private capital in Vietnam, thereby contributing to connecting domestic businesses with high-quality capital flows from the region and internationally.
