Where France and Vietnam Will Connect Next: Business Events to Watch in Late 2026

Ronin Consultancy Ltd, headquartered in France with a team on the ground in Vietnam, is committed to connecting businesses with opportunities across France, Vietnam and the wider Asia-Pacific region. As business ties continue to grow across technology, AI, infrastructure, food and beverage, upcoming events provide valuable platforms for companies to meet, exchange ideas and explore new partnerships. Here are some of the key business events in France and Vietnam to watch in late 2026.

1. France–Vietnam Forward 2026

Dates: 15 October 2026
Location: Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Website: France -Vietnam Forward 2026

France–Vietnam Forward is one of the most directly relevant events for businesses interested in the relationship between the two markets. Organised by CCI France Vietnam, the event is designed to bring together the French and Vietnamese ecosystems around business, technology, innovation, talent and future cooperation.

With companies, startups, investors, institutions and professionals coming together, France–Vietnam Forward creates an environment where conversations can move beyond market awareness towards potential partnerships. For businesses already operating between France and Vietnam — or considering doing so — this is one event worth watching closely.

3. Business Booster Forum 2026

Dates: 12 October 2026

The programme includes discussions on high-potential markets, international expansion strategies, workshops, individual B2B meetings and networking.

While the forum is not exclusively focused on Vietnam, it is particularly relevant for French businesses exploring new international markets — including Vietnam and the wider Asia-Pacific region.

4. Adopt AI 2026

Artificial intelligence is quickly moving from experimentation into practical business applications. Adopt AI 2026 will bring together corporate leaders, technology companies, startups, investors and policymakers at the Grand Palais in Paris.

The organisers expect more than 20,000 attendees, 2,000 CEOs, 800 speakers and 250 exhibitors, with discussions covering the application of AI across areas such as health, finance, industry and sustainability.

Although Adopt AI is a global rather than exclusively France–Vietnam event, it is particularly relevant for companies looking at technology, investment and international business transformation.

CCI France Vietnam is also promoting Adopt AI within its upcoming events programme, creating an additional connection for businesses within the France–Vietnam network.
