The Horasis India Meeting 2022 will be launched in the Vietnamese southern province of Binh Duong on September 25 to 27, with the attendance of some 500 delegates from Vietnam, India and other countries from around the world, a press briefing was told.

This year’s Horasis India Economic Cooperation Forum, or Horasis India Meeting 2022, is hosted by the People’s Committee of Binh Duong Province in collaboration with the Confederation of Indian Industry, and Horasis, an independent international organization committed to inspiring the future.

This event was introduced at a press conference held by the organizers in Binh Duong on Friday.

Beginning in 2009, the Horasis India Meeting has become the foremost annual gathering of Indian business leaders and their global counterparts.

With the theme “Opportunities for connection, cooperation, promotion of trade and attraction of investment,” this year’s event is expected to welcome about 500 guests including government officials, diplomats, experts, entrepreneurs, experts and researchers of India, Vietnam and other countries around the world.

The event will consist of six plenary sittings and 26 dialogue and discussion sessions, where delegates will discuss economic issues of Vietnam and the region, and seek opportunities for cooperation in investment and business, among other issues of mutual interests.

Within the event’s framework, participants will take a sightseeing tour to some key industrial parks and projects in Binh Duong as well as local tourist destinations.

The hosting of Horasis event this year, besides those in 2018 and 2019, aims to speed up the Binh Duong smart city project, attract more foreign investment, and promote the province among domestic and foreign partners, said deputy chairman of the provincial administration Mai Hung Dung.

Overcoming the difficulties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic that hit Vietnam in early 2020, Binh Duong has achieved positive signs in investment attraction and economic and social development, Dung said.

The province has ranked second in attracting foreign direct investment in Vietnam over the first nine months of 2022, just behind Ho Chi Minh City, he added. 

Among large projects, Binh Duong started construction of the Vietnam-Singapore Industrial Park III (VSIP III) in March 2022, following VSIP I and II established in 1996 and 2006, respectively.

The province’s domestic business community is also growing stronger with nearly 60,000 businesses working effectively with international investors to develop the local economy and generate more jobs for residents.

In June this year, Binh Duong continued to be listed among smart cities in the world and the province authorities hosted an event on June 20-21 to honor the ‘Top 7 World Smart Communities in 2022.’

Dr. Frank-Jürgen Richter, president of Horasis, commented that the international community highly appreciated Binh Duong’s smart city project, which is based on the coordination of three sides, namely the state, entrepreneurs and schools.

Horasis is a global visions community committed to providing a unique platform for companies from emerging and developed markets to globalize their organizations, as shown on its website.

Besides the Horasis Asia Meeting, Horasis also hosts the annual Horasis Global Meeting, Horasis China Meeting, Horasis India Meeting, as well as the annual gatherings of the Horasis Visionary Circle.
