Successfully sourcing and manufacturing in Vietnam requires more than finding the right supplier. From site selection to trade compliance, businesses need a clear understanding of the local landscape to make informed decisions.

In the latest edition of Acclime Conversations, Vlad Savin, Director, Markets & Growth – ASEAN at Acclime, sits down with Guillaume Rondan, Cofounder and CEO of FVSource, to discuss the realities of sourcing and manufacturing in Vietnam today.

Drawing on Guillaume's experience on the ground, the discussion looks at what makes Vietnam competitive within Southeast Asia, how businesses should approach site selection across the country's 400+ industrial zones, and the challenges investors often overlook. It also covers the strength of Vietnam's electronics, semiconductor and data centre supply chains, the availability of manufacturing facilities, and how changing rules of origin are influencing sourcing decisions.

Vietnam’s accession to the Hague Apostille Convention is set to simplify the authentication of eligible foreign public documents from 11 September 2026. For foreign investors, multinational companies and expatriates, the new framework is expected to reduce the administrative burden associated with company establishment, investment licensing, work permits and other cross-border procedures.

Under the Convention, eligible documents exchanged between Vietnam and participating jurisdictions can generally be authenticated using a single Apostille certificate instead of the traditional consular legalisation process.

Vietnam's new E-Commerce Law introduces some of the most significant changes to the country's digital economy framework in over a decade. In this discussion, Rizwan Khan, Head of Accounting, ASEAN – Vietnam, Philippines, Cambodia and Thailand at Acclime, explains how the legislation not only strengthens the regulatory framework for e-commerce but also helps shape the rules for the next generation of digital trade across ASEAN.

Rizwan also discusses how the new law could encourage a shift in foreign direct investment (FDI), moving the sector away from short-term transactional capital towards the long-term strategic investment that Vietnam is seeking to attract.

Considering expanding into Vietnam's digital economy? Watch the full VTV4 interview for insights into the key changes and what foreign investors and platform operators need to know.
