On 10 April 2026, KLC Group marks the nine-year milestone since its formation and development, opening a path of ambitious growth with a focus on sustainable development, enhanced organizational capacity, and adaptability to market changes. After nearly a decade of development, KLC Group has gradually built an ecosystem anchored on two pillars: operational capability and human capital. The group is building an ecosystem across multiple sectors including finance, seafood, real estate, infrastructure and energy, media and entertainment, agriculture, and commerce-services. These areas are organized in a linked, mutually reinforcing structure, providing a foundation for synergies across the ecosystem. To date, KLC Group has developed an ecosystem with 16 member companies domestically and internationally, and more than 300 high-skilled employees. Alongside scale-up, the company focuses on raising governance standards, building an integrated operating system, and investing in people to lay a foundation for long-term growth. Consequently, corporate culture, internal cohesion, and a sense of responsibility to the community have become defining elements of KLC Group's identity. Strategic pillars in the new development phase From the accumulated foundation, KLC Group is clarifying strategic pillars for the next development phase. Among these, KLC Seafood plays a prominent role as a growth pillar of the ecosystem. Developing a closed-loop model from farm to export, KLC Seafood not only aims to raise product quality but also expands its capacity to participate more deeply in the seafood value chain, gradually increasing its presence in international markets, including China. KLC Seafood is positioned as one of the important growth pillars in the KLC Group ecosystem. In the real estate and infrastructure space, KLC Group is progressively restructuring toward a long-term orientation. Building on the Stareal real estate platform, the group aims to transform into Star Group — a multi-industry holding company, expanding into residential real estate, industrial real estate, and energy infrastructure. Notably, the K-Charge electric charging station project signals Star Group's direction in energy infrastructure, welcoming the wave of green mobility development in Vietnam. In media and entertainment, KLC Media is being positioned as a new pillar, not only handling brand communications for the ecosystem but also taking a deeper role in entertainment. In 2026, KLC Media will invest in and co-produce film projects such as Quý tử vượt giàu (in collaboration with CJ Entertainment) and Ma xó - Cô hồn ngạ quỷ, while also launching the web drama series Chạm khéo vào giấc mơ. In 2026, KLC Media accelerates on the entertainment track with multiple new film and web drama projects. Through its activities, KLC Group plays a leading role in strategy, connecting member units and laying the groundwork for a unified development structure. Building a sustainable ecosystem in step with the country's development Commenting on the development direction, Ms Dang Thi Huong Giang — a member of the Board of Directors and Chief Operating Officer of KLC Group — stated: We are aiming for a sustainable ecosystem with close linkage, in which each sector has its own role but contributes to overall efficiency and long-term operational capability. Ms Dang Thi Huong Giang shared the development direction of KLC Group in the new phase, focusing on building an ecosystem with synchronized and sustainable operation. Entering the 2026-2030 period, KLC Group clearly defines development direction tied to major movements of the economy. The prioritized sectors are those with the ability to create long-term value, aligned with real market demand and sustainable development trends. That requires the Group to continue standardizing governance, improving operating efficiency, and optimizing resources across the ecosystem. At the same time, KLC Group continues to focus on building a professional working environment, cohesion, and maintaining responsibility to the community as part of its long-term strategy. From the foundations built, KLC Group steps into a new development phase with a proactive stance, resilience, and clearer orientation. The Group remains committed to the motto of leading a sustainable multi-sector ecosystem, community responsibility, and Vietnam entering a new era, reaffirming its role in value creation within the broader economy.
