In his opening speech, Permanent Vice Chairman of the Da Nang People's Committee Ho Ky Minh emphasized the goal of building Da Nang into a destination for international transactions and capital flows, based on three pillars: green finance, commercial finance, fintech and digital assets. The city is oriented to become a laboratory for a new financial model from digital assets, digital payments, blockchain applications, AI to fund management activities to support fintech startups while promoting green financial initiatives associated with the goal of net zero emissions.
According to the city's leaders, Da Nang has the advantage of being the gateway to the East-West Economic Corridor, infrastructure connecting airports - seaports - logistics, and a rapidly growing innovation ecosystem, creating a foundation to attract institutions, funds and FDI enterprises. The city is coordinating with ministries and branches to complete the legal framework for the Vietnam International Financial Center in Da Nang, expected to be submitted before November 15.
The seminar took place over two days (November 6'7th, 2025) with two topics: attracting sustainable financial services and developing a competitive ecosystem for digital assets; discussing key topics such as trade finance, green finance, digital asset development, commodity exchanges, etc.
Da Nang leaders expect the recommendations at the seminar to become specific policy suggestions and action orientations, making Da Nang an attractive destination for financial transactions and innovation in the region.
