This marks the sixth consecutive year VietinBank has hosted this event. This year's networking theme centers on food, agricultural products, beverages, agricultural technology, food processing technology, and restaurant systems. This sector-specific focus aims to enhance compatibility among participants, including raw material producers, processing units, export businesses, distribution partners, restaurant chains, and investors.
The program features one-on-one direct meetings, where participating businesses have their schedules arranged based on specific cooperation needs. This increases the likelihood of finding suitable partners within the value chain.
According to the organizers, the event targets Vietnamese businesses seeking strategic partners and market expansion opportunities, particularly in markets like Japan and Thailand.

The conference takes place amid a restructuring of global supply chains. The food and agriculture sectors are increasingly emphasizing quality standards, production technology, and international market expansion capabilities. Applying technology in production, preservation, and traceability is considered crucial for enhancing product value and meeting market requirements.
Leveraging their domestic and international customer networks, especially the ecosystem of Japanese and Asian businesses, VietinBank and MUFG aim to facilitate participating businesses in accessing suitable partners. This will help them expand distribution channels in new markets, find advanced supply sources or production technology, and promote investment cooperation and joint ventures in the processing and restaurant service sectors.
Following the program, participating businesses can continue to receive support from VietinBank and MUFG through financial solutions such as trade finance, international payments, and cash flow management. This aims to convert cooperation opportunities identified at the event into concrete business agreements.
According to an organizer's representative, "Business Connection 2026" is designed not only for businesses ready for international expansion but also for those seeking their next strategic move within their value chain. With a clear industry focus, a needs-based connection process, and the backing of two major financial institutions, the program is expected to generate additional cooperation opportunities, market expansion, and value enhancement for Vietnamese businesses in the food, beverage, and high-tech agriculture sectors.
