Especially in the second Vietnam Symposium in Entrepreneurship, Finance, and Innovative, the issue of “green finance” garnered significant attention. A few years ago, the concept of green finance was relatively new to Vietnam’s economy. However, in the context of global climate change and being among the countries with the highest pollution levels, Vietnam is increasingly concerned about this issue. It is seen as a vital solution contributing to the sustainable development of the economy.
Dr. Pham Thu Phuong from Curtin University, Australia, spoke at the symposium.
Prof. Iftekhar Hasan from Fordham University, USA, and editor of the Financial Stability journal was the keynote speaker at the symposium.
Students from International School-VNU presented in parallel discussion sessions.
Moreover, attendees listened to valuable insights from business experts on the standards for measuring sustainability development factors and the impact of enterprises on communities (ESG) during roundtable discussions. Experts unanimously believed that many businesses have now oriented their operations to create sustainable value, from the environment, employee engagement, partnerships, to social impact. The measure of a company’s success now includes ESG factors.

This year, the 2nd Vietnam Symposium in Entrepreneurship, Finance, and Innovative selected the best 60 reports out of over 100 submissions, fitting the symposium’s theme. These were presented in the symposium’s official sessions, alongside two main reports from leading speakers: Prof. Iftekhar Hasan from Fordham University, USA, editor of Financial Stability journal; and Prof. Alfredo De Massis from the University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy, IMD University, Switzerland, and Lancaster University, UK, editor of Entrepreneurship Theory & Practice and Family Business Review.
Attendees shared their views at the symposium.
VSEFI symposium is seen as a collaborative brainchild between the International School and the Global Association of Vietnamese Scientists and Experts (AVSE Global). The first VSEFI (under the name EFIS) in 2022 attracted the participation of 40 delegates, both in-person and online, from over 10 countries such as France, the UK, the USA, Australia, Poland, China, New Zealand, Turkey, Switzerland, and Lebanon. EFIS I was successfully organized, and many new perspectives on entrepreneurship, finance, and innovative were shared by experts.
The second International VSEFI symposium was a splendid success.
The second VSEFI symposium was a grand success with many quality research papers, which will contribute to the economic development of each country in the future. Following the success of the second VSEFI, the third VSEFI will undoubtedly be a reputable forum for the world’s leading experts, scientists, and business professionals.
