The Vietnam-Ireland Business Forum, one of a number of collaborative projects under the Vietnam-Ireland Irish Development Experience Sharing (IDEAS) Programme is designed to enhance the business environment for, and the growth of, the private sector in Vietnam. The overall programme is a joint initiative of the Embassy of Ireland and the Vietnam Ministry of Planning and Investment.

Working in cooperation with the Ministry of Planning and Investment, the Vietnam-Ireland Business Forum (VIBF) is managed by VCCI and VINASA in cooperation with Enterprise Ireland, the agency of the Irish Government responsible for the development of Irish industry.  

While the VIBF will initially concentrate on cooperation between Vietnam and Ireland in the areas of Information Technology and Software, it is expected that in the future it will expand to cover other industrial sectors and areas of cooperation.
