The Vietnam Investment and Finance Association (VIFA) is entering its final phase of preparation ahead of its official launch in the United Kingdom tomorrow. More than the founding of a new organisation for the global Vietnamese financial community, the event represents the culmination of a thoughtful, disciplined, and heartfelt journey led by the organising team and its strategic partners.

With a mission to become a worldwide network connecting Vietnamese professionals, enterprises, investors, and financial institutions, VIFA has been built on the foundation of collaboration, shared values, and long-term vision. Over the past several months, the organising committee has followed a meticulously crafted roadmap for the launch event from curating the programme structure and inviting guest speakers to managing communications, logistics, technical setup, and on-site coordination. Every detail has been reviewed with care to ensure an event that meets international standards while preserving cultural authenticity.

The launch will take place tomorrow in London, a leading global financial centre and the home of a dynamic Vietnamese diaspora engaged in finance, banking, and investment. The event will feature a formal inauguration, keynote addresses from VIFA’s founding members and guest dignitaries, and a panel discussion themed “Vietnamese Finance and Global Vision.” Beyond the official agenda, the event promises valuable opportunities for networking, knowledge exchange, and cross-border collaboration.

Alongside Eastern Horizon Wealth Management, the VIFA Launching Event has received strong backing from a distinguished group of strategic partners, including FIDT, VietPro, The Project Darts, SVUK, and the London Southside Chamber of Commerce. The presence of these organisations reflects a shared commitment to empowering the Vietnamese financial community and fostering meaningful international collaboration.

The establishment of VIFA is not a conclusion but the beginning of a long-term journey. Following the official launch, VIFA plans to implement a series of high-impact initiatives including regular industry forums, cross-border investment networks, mentorship programmes for young professionals, expert roundtables, and strategic alliances with international financial institutions. These efforts aim to build a resilient, connected, and globally relevant Vietnamese finance community.

With meticulous preparation, a clear vision, and the strong support of trusted partners, VIFA is poised to leave a lasting mark. Tomorrow’s launch is expected to be a defining moment a transformative step for the Vietnamese financial diaspora: from fragmented connections to structured organisation, from individual pursuits to collective progress, and from community promise to international presence.
