[VOVWORLD] - The second Capital Economic Forum (CEF II 2026) will be held in Hanoi on August 27, bringing together representatives from at least 80 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

Organizers aim to facilitate at least 20 business-to-business (B2B) meetings, provide in-depth consultations to at least 10 businesses, and secure at least five memoranda of understanding, cooperation agreements, or preliminary agreements.
The forum will focus on helping SMEs access expertise on mergers and acquisitions (M&A), investment, and financing, while connecting them with investors, partners, and major companies. It will also help businesses understand the requirements for becoming qualified suppliers and provide a channel to raise difficulties and propose solutions.
The event comes as Hanoi targets double-digit economic growth for 2026-2030.
