A representative from the Can Tho Department of Industry and Trade noted that the conference aimed to identify challenges in business operations and propose practical support solutions for the future. With businesses needing more resources for recovery and growth, collaboration with credit institutions is expected to improve capital access and boost market adaptability.

A bank representative highlighted the significant transformation of the Mekong Delta in recent years, recognizing its role as a key economic hub for agriculture, aquaculture, and national exports. Despite its vast potential, the region confronts challenges like limited capital access, digital transformation pressures, and the imperative to enhance human resource quality for the evolving economic landscape. As the regional center, Can Tho actively promotes networking initiatives to foster the sustainable growth of its business community.

The program aims to establish a lasting connection platform with the local business community. LPBank plans to offer flexible financial solutions, support digital transformation, optimize operations, and expand markets. This approach aligns with the bank's broader objective of promoting financial inclusion and fostering local economic development.
