Vietnam & Singapore Opportunities for European Business
Vietnam & Singapore: Diversifying Trade and Investments in Asia’s Strongly Resilient Markets
In today’s uncertain global environment, European businesses and investors are seeking stable, high ‑growth destinations to expand their exports, diversify portfolios, and secure long‑term returns.
Vietnam and Singapore are already key partners for the EU and for Belgium. In 2024, Vietnam ranked as Belgium’s 49th client (EUR 886.2 million in exports) and 20th supplier (EUR 3.701,5 million in imports), while Singapore was Belgium’s 38th client (EUR 1.752,0 million) and 24th supplier (EUR 2.841,5 million).
Beyond trade, Belgian companies are actively investing in both markets. In Singapore, investment flows target logistics, healthcare, and technology, leveraging its position as a global hub for finance, trade, and innovation, with a robust legal framework, attractive tax incentives, and unmatched connectivity. In Vietnam, Belgian firms are present in hydrogen power, innovative medical treatments, insurance, and steel, tapping into a dynamic economy, young workforce, and strategic network of trade agreements.
Join us for this free webinar to discover how Belgian and European companies can seize opportunities in both markets, optimise their tax and trade strategies, and position themselves for sustainable, long‑term growth.
