VPBank SME marks milestone: Ambition to create prosperity through knowledge with Newing

In an era of inflation and macroeconomic volatility, capital flows are important but only a necessary condition for business success. For small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to survive and prosper, robust management capabilities are a sufficient condition. Against this backdrop, VPBank SME is taking a step to partner with enterprises through knowledge-based services.

A “double-launchpad” for growth

SME Forum 2026, held on March 20 under the theme “A New Momentum for the Big Play,” highlighted a collaboration between VPBank SME and Newing, an international standard management-consulting firm. The partnership is positioned as a “double-launchpad” for domestic enterprises—combining elite management capabilities from Newing’s experts with VPBank SME’s financial resources and broad support to help drive real breakthroughs.

The forum also elevated international knowledge for Vietnamese businesses through contributions from leaders of Asia’s top groups. The insights shared were described as practical, grounded in experience from regional and global operations.

Commenting on the partnership, a VPBank SME representative said: “We sincerely thank Newing for co-creating a meticulously designed program that delivers practical value for the SME community. The seamless collaboration between the two sides has helped generate a event that businesses trust and embrace positively.” In return, Newing was selected by VPBank SME as the technical partner to help realize a spirit of collaboration.

Together, creating prosperity through knowledge

VPBank SME and Newing said their vision extends beyond a single event. The two parties plan long-term activities throughout 2026 and beyond, aiming to gradually build a sustainable knowledge ecosystem for the business community. Among the planned initiatives is The Next Forum, scheduled for October 15, described as a strategic milestone intended to shape the standing of Vietnamese businesses on a global map.

A practical arena where knowledge becomes a competitive advantage

SME Forum 2026 is presented not only as a high-level strategic platform, but also as a venue connecting thousands of enterprises with modern operating mindsets drawn from real-world practice by top domestic and international experts.

With participation from more than 1,500 business leaders, SME Forum 2026 was described as going beyond a typical event. Discussions covered key issues related to growth, operations, and digital transformation. Through participation, CEOs and senior managers are expected to:

• Update the latest governance trends and global growth models.
• Access experienced experts and leaders to find solutions to business challenges.
• Expand networks within a high-quality business community.
• Seek practical solutions and tailor-made knowledge pieces to address core organizational issues.

Impact and outlook

Under the direction “Together, creating prosperity through knowledge,” VPBank SME’s investment and commitment to SME Forum 2026 are framed as redefining the bank’s role in the new era—from a capital provider to a catalyst that strengthens customers’ intellect and competitive capability. By prioritizing knowledge as a new driver of prosperity, VPBank SME and Newing aim to open up perspectives that support Vietnamese enterprises as they move toward global markets.
