Singapore Strengthens Singapore-Vietnam Business Ties with New Professional Services Centre in Ho Chi Minh City

By

-

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 September 2025 – The Alliance, a coalition of Singapore’s leading trade associations and professional bodies, has launched its second full-scale Professional Services (PS) Centre in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), marking a major step in deepening Singapore-Vietnam economic collaboration and expanding Singapore’s professional services footprint in Asia.

Building on the success of its first PS Centre in Shanghai earlier this year, the new HCMC hub will serve as a one-stop gateway for enterprises seeking to enter Vietnam’s dynamic economy, providing trusted professional services, regulatory guidance, market intelligence, and business networks to accelerate cross-border growth.

The Alliance is formed by eight trade associations and professional bodies, namely the Association of Small & Medium Enterprises (ASME), Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants (ISCA), Institute of Valuers and Appraisers, Singapore (IVAS), the Singapore Business Federation (SBF), the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce & Industry (SCCCI), Singapore Manufacturing Federation (SMF), Tax Academy of Singapore, and The Law Society of Singapore. Together, these eight partners have brought together strong business and professional service networks, creating a collaborative platform to facilitate regional expansion.

The HCMC launch follows the establishment of the first PS Centre in Shanghai in June 2025. Held at W Business Centre, the event was officiated in the presence of Mr Pang Te Cheng, Consul-General of the Republic of Singapore in HCMC, and brought together over 50 business leaders, professionals, and representatives from both Singapore and Vietnam.

ISCA President Mr Teo Ser Luck said, “Expanding into new markets comes with its challenges, from understanding local regulations to building trusted networks and gaining on-the-ground support. The PS Centre is designed to bridge that gap by connecting businesses to professional services expertise, local partners with deep market knowledge, and established business networks. Our goal is to give Singapore enterprises and our professionals access to a trusted platform, creating opportunities for collaboration, cross-border projects, and professional growth beyond our shores and thrive in Vietnam and the wider region.”

Vietnam has emerged as one of Singapore’s top investment destinations, with Singapore ranking as Vietnam’s largest foreign investor from January to November 2024, registering US$9.14 billion in capital according to Vietnam Briefing. Positioned as Vietnam’s commercial and financial hub, HCMC is a strategic gateway for Singapore and regional firms to tap into one of Southeast Asia’s fastest-growing markets.

Yet, businesses venturing into Vietnam often face challenges in navigating local regulations, building trusted networks, and obtaining on-the-ground support. The PS Centre @ HCMC is positioned to bridge these gaps – serving as a one-stop platform that provides professional services, market intelligence, and in-market connections to help firms expand confidently into Vietnam.

In addition, local partners such as the Vietnam Association of Accountants and Auditors (VAA), Vietnam Independent Directors Association (VNIDA) and other professional and business associations have come onboard to provide in-market insights and extend the network reach of the PS Centre in Vietnam.

“The launch of the Professional Services Centre in Ho Chi Minh City reflects Singapore’s strong commitment to deepening economic ties with Vietnam,” said Mr Pang Te Cheng, Consul-General of the Republic of Singapore in HCMC. “Serving as a one-stop hub, the Centre will provide trusted networks and professional expertise to support both inbound businesses entering Vietnam’s fast-growing economy and Vietnamese enterprises seeking to expand into regional and global markets. It embodies the spirit of “dám, biết, khéo”—daring to embrace new approaches, acquiring the knowledge to participate effectively, and demonstrating the skill to navigate complexity. These qualities, emphasized by General Secretary Tô Lâm as essential for Vietnam’s new era, are precisely what this professional services partnership delivers. It will help to contribute to Vietnam’s diverse business landscape and strengthening cross-border collaboration.”

The PS Centre is built around three overarching focus areas:

1. A Conduit for International Expansion
Acting as a hub for firms, trade associations, and partners seeking to expand overseas. By connecting them to a curated network of region-specific experts and local partners, firms gain tailored guidance and services to navigate new markets confidently.
2. Business Enablement
The PS Centre provides business opportunities for ISCA Corporate Members and a wide community of professional services firms, including those in accounting, tax, legal, business valuation and corporate advisory. It offers an in-market presence, local expertise, and collaboration spaces for sustained engagement.
3. Fostering a Regional Ecosystem
Serving as a platform for cross-border knowledge sharing, strategic networking, thought leadership, and innovation – laying the groundwork for robust, long-term professional partnerships and a future-ready business community across Asia.

Mr Ang Yuit, President of ASME said, “Ho Chi Minh City is at the heart of Vietnam’s economic growth story. With the opening of the Professional Services Centre here, SMEs will now have a one-stop agency to approach for access to trusted local networks and in-market expertise. For ASME, this also builds on the spirit of our MOU with our Vietnam counterpart, VINASME, as we work together to support business growth through our ecosystem of alliances.”

Ms Lisa Sam, President of The Law Society of Singapore said, “The Law Society of Singapore is proud to be part of this Alliance initiative to strengthen professional services collaboration in Vietnam. Legal certainty and trusted advisory are essential for businesses venturing into new markets, and the Professional Services Centre in Ho Chi Minh City will provide the networks and expertise to help enterprises navigate cross-border opportunities with confidence. By working collectively with our Alliance partners and local associations, we are committed to supporting Singapore and regional firms in their expansion into Vietnam and beyond.”

Mr Dennis Lui, CEO of Tax Academy of Singapore said, “The PS Centre launch in Ho Chi Minh City marks a pivotal moment in regional collaboration. At Tax Academy, we’re building Singapore as a leading centre for taxation and regional tax knowledge hub through our structured tax training and professional development programmes to raise professional competency of the tax community. Vietnam represents one of Asia’s most dynamic growth markets. Cross-border expansion demands more than strategy—it requires specialised, on-the-ground tax expertise. We’re excited to empower businesses with the essential tax knowledge and practical insights needed to not only navigate but thrive in this exciting new chapter of regional expansion.”

“Singapore businesses venturing into Vietnam now have a centre that brings together networks, insights, and local know-how under one roof,” said Mr Ernie Koh, Council Member of the Singapore Business Federation (SBF). “Through our Global Connect initiative, we have seen first-hand how the right partnerships can accelerate cross-border success. The new PS Centre in Ho Chi Minh City strengthens these networks and lowers barriers for businesses of all sizes, enabling them to seize opportunities in Vietnam’s dynamic economy while contributing to the broader ASEAN growth story.”

About the Professional Services (PS) Centre
The Professional Services (PS) Centre is a collaborative initiative by eight trade associations and professional membership bodies: the Association of Small & Medium Enterprises (ASME), the Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants (ISCA), the Institute of Valuers and Appraisers, Singapore (IVAS), the Singapore Business Federation (SBF), the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce & Industry (SCCCI), the Singapore Manufacturing Federation (SMF), Tax Academy and The Law Society of Singapore.

Together, the Alliance represents a network spanning over 30 industries, from manufacturing, electronics, energy and life sciences to finance, technology, F&B, logistics, legal, tax, accountancy and valuation, bringing over 50,000 professionals and businesses under one collaborative ecosystem for cross-border growth.

HANGZHOU, China, Sept. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The global launch of the Aitu brand on September 23rd is significant not only for the local garment industry but also for the global garment manufacturing landscape. It is expected to help Indonesia’s garment manufacturing industry take new steps towards intelligent and automated development, and to usher in a new and ambitious blueprint for the future of the Indonesian garment industry.

Is AI technology reshaping the garment manufacturing industry? Is Aitu a golden opportunity for development?

From economic contributions to job creation, the textile and garment manufacturing industry has made significant contributions to Indonesia’s national economic development. However, with the profound transformation of the global manufacturing landscape, the industry faces numerous challenges: high dependence on imported raw materials, outdated technology and equipment, and rising production costs are constraining the industry’s development. Against this backdrop, companies need to look internationally and seek a new future!

At the recent 2025 IFA, Aitu won the “2025 Global Product Technology Innovation Awards” for its innovative breakthroughs in integrating artificial intelligence with garment manufacturing, humanoid robots, and other industrial smart manufacturing industries. Like a shining star, it will illuminate the transformation path of the global garment manufacturing industry.

The Aitu brand embodies China’s deep accumulation and outstanding achievements in AI development. Aitu President Zhang Hanwen once said, “This is an international showcase of Chinese AI technology empowering traditional manufacturing. We will continue to use AI as our core driving force to bring Chinese intelligent sewing technology to more production lines around the world.” Chinese-made sewing equipment is highly sought after in Indonesia, and Chinese-made AI solutions are expected to become a new legend of “high-end and affordable” products, reducing the technical costs of transforming the traditional sewing industry.

Aitu’s AI-powered smart manufacturing solutions will help the garment manufacturing industry optimize its labor force, overcome technical bottlenecks, improve production efficiency and quality, and achieve high-end upgrades. We believe that with the support of the Aitu brand, Indonesia’s garment industry will make greater contributions to national economic development.

At the ongoing China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS) in Beijing, new-type energy storage technology, interactive waste-sorting bins, unmanned weed-cutting boats, and a range of other green products and services have attracted wide attention.

Beistar CZ, a Czech company making its debut at CIFTIS, showcased an energy storage technology that converts surplus grid electricity into thermal energy, storing it inside a unit filled with hot air and high heat-resistant material, at a cost about one-fiftieth that of battery storage.

George Jermakov, technology director at Beistar CZ, said he hopes the technology would be “used and useful” in China. “There are no greater opportunities anywhere in the world than in China,” he added, noting that he was impressed by the country’s open business environment, with CIFTIS serving as a good example.

Jermakov also highlighted China’s strong push for sustainability. “There is a great wave in China to go green,” he said. “Many steps have been taken by the government and the people, and they are moving faster and faster toward their goals.”

The 2025 CIFTIS, held in Beijing from Sept. 10 to 14 with the theme “Embrace Intelligent Technologies, Empower Trade in Services,” has drawn nearly 2,000 on-site exhibitors. Participants include representatives from more than 20 of the world’s top 30 countries and regions in services trade.

TestraBin, developed by Australian company Sencity, is an interactive garbage-sorting bin. Equipped with three sensor-fitted slots for different types of waste, the bin is ringed with electronic screens that reward correct sorting with playful animations or digital content such as a basketball dropping through a hoop.

“In the past, a lot of money was spent on public campaigns to encourage people to sort their waste. This product makes the process interactive and fun,” said Wanchen Zhao, vice president of Sencity. “Every time we showcase it in China, people show great interest. Many see it as a glimpse of the next era, where everyday items are infused with more technology and interactivity.”

Chinese companies are also unveiling a wide range of homegrown green innovations at this year’s fair, underscoring the country’s dual role as a major market and an important source of technological solutions for the global green transition.

An unmanned street-sweeping vehicle developed by Beijing Environment Sanitation Group has attracted wide attention at the fair. Equipped with lidar, 360-degree cameras and ultrasonic radar, the vehicle can clean up to 6,000 square meters per hour, equivalent to the workload of six to eight workers.

The group, which provides integrated services ranging from public-space cleaning to waste collection, transportation and treatment, has offered consulting and technical support to countries including Mongolia, Pakistan, Laos, Bangladesh and Chad.

An unmanned weed-cutting vessel, equipped with sharp blades to clear aquatic plants, was also on display at the fair. A smart system embedded in the vessel simulates plant growth to identify the best time for removal, providing a modern solution for aquatic vegetation management.

“For a city of more than 20 million people like Beijing, many of these urban management solutions can be applied to cities elsewhere in the world,” said Chen Nan, a technician with the Beijing Water Science and Technology Institute, which developed the vessel.

Huatong Technology, a one-stop provider of zero-carbon industrial park solutions, also attracted attention at the fair. The Chinese company develops such parks by integrating renewable energy sources like wind, solar and biomass to boost green power use and clean transport, while retrofitting buildings, upgrading equipment and operating a central platform to monitor energy use and cut emissions.

With about 20 years of experience in energy saving and carbon reduction, Huatong Technology has completed over 10,000 projects in China across high-tech zones, industrial and logistics parks, as well as cultural and agricultural parks.

China’s services trade topped 1 trillion U.S. dollars for the first time in 2024. In the first seven months of 2025, it expanded 8.2 percent year on year to nearly 4.58 trillion yuan (about 644.9 billion U.S. dollars), official data showed.

Meanwhile, the trade structure has continued to improve, shifting away from reliance on traditional sectors such as logistics toward more value-added, knowledge-intensive and innovation-driven fields.

“China is at the forefront of major green technologies. It is the low-cost producer of wind, solar, long-distance power transmission and zero carbon power supplies,” said Jeffrey Sachs, chairman of the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network, in a speech at the fair.

Sachs added that the world is facing the urgent challenge of environmental transformation and China can use its global capacity to accelerate the transformation.
