The series B2B Matching Online is organized to connect businesses, particularly VLA members, with international partners from countries with significant trade relations with Vietnam. The program focuses on countries with direct shipping routes or deep integration into global supply chains.

Through these online matchmaking sessions, Vietnamese businesses will have the opportunity to expand their global partnerships and enhance their position on the international trade map. Simultaneously, VLA will introduce the FWC 2025 event to international partners.

As “a new star” in the region and the world, Vietnam is attracting the attention of numerous international manufacturing and trading groups. Therefore, the B2B Matching Online program is expected to be an ideal platform for Vietnamese businesses to showcase their capabilities, products, and services to international partners. Concurrently, the program will help foreign businesses gain a better understanding of the Vietnamese business environment and seek cooperation opportunities.

The B2B series is scheduled to consist of 10 sessions and will run from now until the opening of the FWC 2025 event. Each matchmaking session will focus on a specific market, aiming to provide businesses with the most effective networking opportunities.

To kick off the series, WIFFA (World International Freight Forwarder Alliance) has been selected as VLA’s first partner. With over 2,000 members comprising freight forwarding and credit companies from more than 200 countries and territories, founded by Shipping China, WIFFA is also the largest international freight forwarding credit cooperation platform in China, providing comprehensive and professional services to members worldwide.

The B2B Matching Online is not only a prelude to the FWC 2025 but also an opportunity for domestic and foreign businesses to connect and interact, opening up numerous potential business cooperation opportunities.
