Building the bridge between The Netherlands and Vietnam
A bilateral business platform between The Netherlands and Vietnam
The Dutch Business Association Vietnam exists to promote the bilateral trade between The Netherlands and Vietnam. Our mission is to "Build the bridge between The Netherlands and Vietnam." We support you in "landing softly" in Vietnam and connect you to a high-level professional community.

A business platform since 1999
We have more than a hundred member companies in Vietnam and The Netherlands. We are known for our typical yearly events, such as the trade missions, golf tournament, networking events and the seminars we organise. See our membership directory for all of our members.

A network that connects people and businesses
It is our mission to build the bridge between the members of our association as well as Dutch or Vietnamese market entrants. We support you in “landing softly” in Vietnam and The Netherlands. We work closely together with service companies and the public sector to make this happen.
-
A dialogue partner with the Vietnamese government
Particularly in Vietnam, it is important to be part of a business association like DBAV, because of the political governance system. The role of the government is still very dominant here. It is important to have the right connections. The Dutch public and private sector really work together in Vietnam, to make trade happen.

What our members say
A small overview of what our members have to say about DBAV:
As a relatively new company in Vietnam, De Heus became a DBAV member in 2009. Especially in the beginning, it was very useful to meet more experienced members of the Dutch-Vietnamese business community. As an individual company, it is difficult to lobby for the interests of your company sector. Eurocham is more effective in approaching and communicating with the Vietnamese government at different levels. I therefore would like to recommend all Dutch companies active in Vietnam to become a member of the DBAV & Eurocham.
DBAV is a platform that helps me market and grow my professional network. Particularly, DBAV's events are enjoyable for me to go. What I also like is the supportive attitude from the Executive Team.
DBAV has been a fantastic platform to foster a sense of community, networking and cooperation between multicultural professionals, organisations and service partners.
