On September 23, 2025, in Hanoi, the Network of trailblazing Women Leaders WELEAD (WeLead), in collaboration with the Department of Private Economic Development and Collective Economy (Ministry of Finance) and the Foreign Trade University – Innovation and Incubation Center (FIIS), successfully organized the Pioneering Business Forum 2025 under the theme: “Inclusive Business – Sustainable Competitiveness in the New Era.”
The event was held within the framework of the APEC–Canada Growing Business Partnership (ACGBP) initiative, bringing together nearly 200 delegates, including representatives of ministries, diplomatic missions, international organizations, business associations, pioneering women entrepreneurs from across Vietnam, as well as strong media coverage from national press agencies.
At the Forum, speakers shared opportunities, challenges, and solutions to advance the inclusive business model – one that combines economic growth with social impact, driving sustainable development.
Highlights of the program included:
- A recognition ceremony honoring outstanding enterprises in practicing inclusive business in 2025.
- A networking platform connecting businesses with investment funds, financial institutions, experts, and support organizations to foster an ecosystem for sustainable transformation.
WeLead is proud to accompany our partners on the journey toward sustainable and inclusive business practices, where pioneering women leaders not only drive inclusive business models but also help shape a broader trend of human-centered and responsible entrepreneurship in Vietnam.
