Vietnam is no longer emerging. It is becoming Asia’s next strategic center of gravity.

By the 2030s, Vietnam could stand alongside Singapore, Korea, and Taiwan as a $1 trillion economy. But this future depends on leadership, capital, and institutions keeping pace .

The Vanguard Summit is where this future is debated. Over 400 leaders — tycoons, policymakers, unicorn founders, successors, investors, and global thinkers — will gather to confront one defining question:

What will it take for Vietnam to reach $1 trillion, and how will it compete in a realigned Asia?
