The event will bring together over 50 experts, leaders, and senior executives from various sectors, including technology, hospitality, real estate, logistics, and tourism. Under the theme 'Da Nang New Era: Technology-Driven Growth Across Industries,' the summit promises to deliver strategic perspectives on the role of technology and cross-sector collaboration in driving sustainable business growth and shaping Da Nang's future development. The summit takes place at a pivotal time, as Da Nang undergoes major strategic shifts in its development direction, most notably, the proposed administrative merger with Quang Nam province. With its geographic advantages, infrastructure, human resources, and innovative policies, Da Nang is poised to emerge as a new growth engine for Vietnam, targeting its transformation into a large-scale, highly competitive economic and urban center in the Asia-Pacific region. In the future, Da Nang is set to become a national hub for innovation, high technology, and start-ups, gradually building a modern, smart urban ecosystem that will elevate its status and Vietnam's on the global stage. Accompanying this transformative phase, the Da Nang Global Business Summit 2025 is designed to serve as a multidimensional platform connecting business leaders, investors, and international experts. Together, they will explore cutting-edge technologies, sustainable development solutions, and cross-sector collaboration opportunities – critical drivers of Da Nang's advancement into a dynamic global economic hub.

Jeong Pyon, Director of Hospitality Solutions for Asia-Pacific at Duetto, will present on the application of artificial intelligence (AI) and strategies for attracting highly qualified talent and appealing to high-end tourists from premium markets, especially in the context of Da Nang being positioned as a future tourism hub of Asia. Stefan Wolf, Commercial Director of Wink Hotels, the Strategic Partner in the series of the Da Nang Global Business Summit, will present 'The Wink Revolution: Change as a Strategy', exploring how the hotel brand encompasses technology and tourism, real estate, and hospitality and how it has used change as the underpinning factor to create an entirely new ecosystem of possibility. Mieke Claerhout, General Manager of the Marketing House – Vietnam, has developed deep expertise in bridging the cultural gap between Vietnamese and Western businesses. At the Da Nang Global Business Summit 2025, she will present practical strategies for building stronger cross-cultural partnerships, improving international collaboration, and positioning Vietnamese businesses for success on the global stage. Her session will explore how cultural understanding can become a key competitive advantage, especially as Da Nang emerges as Vietnam's next international business hub. As Da Nang positions itself as a rising global business hub, understanding and navigating cultural differences have never been more critical. Mieke's insights will offer practical strategies for companies aiming to thrive in this dynamic environment. Jack Nguyen, CPA, CA, Vietnam Chief Executive Officer of InCorp Vietnam with 25 years of global experience and nearly two decades advising investors in Vietnam, brings strategic depth to the Da Nang Global Business Summit 2025. As moderator, he will guide discussions on how Da Nang can harness technology to drive cross-industry growth and attract sustainable investment. Jack's expertise in market entry, M&A, and workforce transformation will help frame actionable insights for navigating Da Nang's next era of tech-driven economic development. Da Nang Global Business Summit 2025 is also a platform to unlock new investment and growth opportunities while fostering strategic partnerships between domestic and international businesses. As a result, enterprises can proactively seize opportunities, leverage local strengths, and lead in innovation, boosting their presence and accelerating growth in Da Nang, Vietnam's future economic powerhouse. At a time when Vietnam is emerging as a strategic node in the global semiconductor and AI value chains, our special guest, Mr. Phuc from Da Nang Semiconductor & AI Center will deliver a forward-looking presentation on Da Nang's transformation into a high-tech innovation and investment hub. With confidence in the city's future, Mr. Phuc sees this platform as a catalyst for real progress, where global partners can truly recognize the full potential of the New Da Nang Economy. His session will provide valuable insights into why now is the ideal time for international companies to invest, expand, and build in Da Nang. 'This exclusive summit brings together 100 C-level decision-makers from across industries and countries to explore high-impact collaboration opportunities in Da Nang, Vietnam. With strong support from our strategic partners, our vision is to expand this series across Southeast Asia — with each edition focusing on a high-potential industry — creating a platform for meaningful business exchange and sustainable growth in both Da Nang and the region.' said Ms. Thuy, Founder of the Da Nang Global Business Summit.
