Consistently named over the years as “The Autumn Economic Forum - The Convergence Of New Global Growth Engines”, the event is co-branded, co-developed in content, and jointly organized with the World Economic Forum (WEF).
The forum takes place amidst a global economy restructuring due to geopolitical conflicts, technological breakthroughs, and a green transition wave. The global value and supply chains are being redefined towards diversification, regionalization, and enhanced resilience, with growth poles shifting towards Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
In Vietnam, as the nation enters a new development era aiming for GDP growth over 10% annually and a digital economy accounting for 30% of GDP by 2030, shaping new growth poles and accessing capital, technology, and international management experience are key tasks. In this context, Ho Chi Minh City continues to assert its position as an economic leader, innovation hub, and aspiring global city.
The main program of the Autumn Economic Forum 2026, themed “Collaboration in a New Era”, will be held in person on October 27-28 at Thiskyhall (No. 10 Mai Chi Tho, Sala Urban Area, An Khanh Ward, Ho Chi Minh City).
The event is expected to gather around 1,500 domestic and international delegates from the public sector, private sector, academia, and international institutions and organizations. The forum's content is built around four main pillars: the role of mega-cities; disruptive technology and innovation ecosystems; collaboration models in the new era; and the pioneering role of the private sector in driving growth and innovation.
