Following welcome remarks by IHK President Torsten Herrmann and LEG Managing Director Andreas Krey, greetings were delivered by Thuringia’s Minister of Economic Affairs, Colette Boos-John, and Professor Dang Hoang Linh from the Vietnamese Embassy. Around 150 participants attended, all expressing strong interest in collaboration with Vietnam.
Successful case studies from Thuringian companies showcased the sheer variety of partnerships. A panel discussion explored opportunities in a globalized world, while workshops offered practical insights into market entry, talent acquisition, and cultural understanding. A special highlight was the ceremonial welcome of new trainees as part of the Vietnam Project. The evening concluded with networking and a cultural program celebrating both Thuringian and Vietnamese traditions.
To gain firsthand insights, a business mission to Vietnam is planned for the fall, with stops in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Additional highlights in the schedule of the Team Thuringia International include a business delegation trip to China led by Thuringia’s Minister of Economic Affairs, a market exploration trip to Azerbaijan, and a business mission to the Africa Tech Festival in Cape Town.
