Fostering Australian and Vietnamese Young Leaders

30 March 2021: Asialink Business is delighted to support the 2021 Australia-Vietnam Young Leadership Dialogue, to be held jointly across Vietnam and Australia in September this year. The dialogue nurtures relationships promotes engagement and incubates collaboration between young Australian and Vietnamese leaders.

Following the official launch in Sydney in mid-March, an international and highly competitive search is now underway for outstanding young leaders with a desire to deepen their contribution to the Australia-Vietnam relationship and accelerate their leadership journey.

This year, the Dialogue features a five-day hybrid program across Ho Chi Minh City and Sydney from 5 – 9 September 2021, focused around the theme of  “Regeneration”.  It will bring together 20 young, dynamic and talented delegates, representing leaders from business, policy, education, health, arts and culture, innovation, and not-for-profit sectors.

 

With its young population, growing wealth, changing consumer attitudes, increasing urbanisation and greater mobility, Vietnam is going through a period of dynamic change.

Australia and Vietnam are two of the highest performing and complementary economies in our region. Fostering people-to-people links, nurturing relationships and incubating collaboration between young Australian and Vietnamese leaders can help realise this economic potential and incubate new market opportunities.

Asialink Business was also a major sponsor of the 2019 Dialogue, which focused on the theme of ‘United Nations Sustainable Development Goals: Gender Equality, Reduced Inequalities, Quality Education, Climate Action, Sustainable Cities and Communities’.

Past delegates have been of an exceptionally high calibre, including individuals such as:

  • Mr Ha Lam, Co-founder of e-travel portal Triipme.com
  • Ms Shuyin Tang, Principal of impact investor Patamar Capital
  • Mr Andy Trie, TV Presenter/ Producer, SBS

Applications for delegation will close on 30 April 2021. For information about how to apply, visit www.australiavietnam.org
