AsemconnectVietnam - Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Chi Dung recently signed Decision No. 626/QD-TTg approving the Program for Expanding into International Markets in the period 2026–2030.

Accordingly, the Program for Expanding into International Markets in the period 2026–2030 (the program) is built on the orientation of focusing on resolving institutional and policy bottlenecks to encourage, facilitate, and control risks for investment and business activities of enterprises in foreign markets; ensuring a transparent mechanism for accessing market resources (investment, finance, infrastructure, technology, information, human resources, etc.) and streamlined administrative procedures, compatible with highly competitive economies.
The sectors encouraged for investment are those in which Vietnam has an international competitive advantage, high added value, and high spillover potential; the program focuses on strategic investment, mergers and acquisitions (M&A), building distribution centers, bonded warehouses, industrial parks, wholesale and retail systems, agencies, representative offices, research and development (R&D) offices, and after-sales services in foreign markets.
The program prioritizes businesses with technological capabilities, innovation, and outstanding competitiveness in certain sectors of the economy, capable of leading their respective sectors; creating a ripple effect in the value chain; and innovative startups with global business models.
The program aims for the Vietnamese private sector to comprehensively, effectively, and sustainably increase its overseas presence in terms of both scale and quality through international investment and business activities and deeper integration into regional and global supply and value chains.
The goal by 2030 is to comprehensively, effectively, and sustainably enhance the presence of Vietnam's private sector abroad. Specifically, at least 10,000 businesses will receive training on global investment and business operations; 1,000 businesses will receive consulting and planning for expansion into international markets; at least 100 businesses will receive comprehensive and in-depth support for overseas investment, with 30% of these businesses investing through mergers and acquisitions (M&A).
In addition, at least 100 businesses will receive comprehensive and in-depth support to operate effectively on cross-border e-commerce platforms in Vietnam and internationally, with at least 10 businesses achieving online export revenue exceeding US$10 million.
