    Dominic Scriven: Vietnam is the winner of the underdogs | Dragon Capital Vietnam (DCVFM) | EP 374

    Over the past three decades, Vietnam has undergone a significant structural transformation, evolving from an early-stage reform economy into an increasingly established investment market within the region. Economic growth has been accompanied by deeper global integration, sustained infrastructure development, and the continued expansion of the private sector. This evolution also brings into focus longer-term considerations around the quality of growth, governance standards, and the direction of Vietnam’s next phase of development. From a long-term investment standpoint, Vietnam’s progress is evaluated not solely through capital inflows and growth metrics, but also through the expanding role of culture, tourism, and cuisine in shaping national positioning. At the same time, rapid growth presents structural challenges, including infrastructure capacity, income disparities, and corporate governance practices. Join us as Dominic Scriven, Founder & Chairman of Dragon Capital Vietnam (DCVFM) — one of the longest-standing foreign investment firms in Vietnam — shares perspectives shaped by more than three decades of active market engagement. Having been present since the early 1990s, he offers a pragmatic and informed view on investment, governance, and long-term economic development across key stages of Vietnam’s transformation. ______ Listen to this episode on YouTube And explore many amazing articles about the pioneers at: https://vietcetera.com/vn/bo-suu-tap/vietnam-innovator Feel free to leave any questions or invitations for business cooperation at hello@vni-digest.com

    World Class Investor: Vietnam’s Future Is Bigger Than You Think

    Over the past three decades, Vietnam’s economy has undergone a significant transformation. From the early post–Đổi Mới years, the country has evolved into a strategic destination for foreign direct investment, an increasingly important manufacturing base, and one of Asia’s most dynamic growth markets. In this episode, Vietcetera speaks with Dr. Khongkiat Opas Wongkarn, Founder and CEO of Asia Plus Group, who brings decades of leadership and investment experience across Southeast Asia, including deep, long-term engagement with Vietnam through multiple economic cycles. His career spans periods of volatility, expansion, and structural transition—informing how institutional leaders assess risk, capital allocation, and long-term value creation. The conversation goes beyond headline growth to examine the structural challenges accompanying Vietnam’s rapid development, including rising costs, housing affordability, and widening income gaps. This episode offers strategic insights for investors, executives, and policymakers seeking to understand Vietnam’s growth trajectory, long-term fundamentals, and the principles that underpin sustainable leadership and investment. ___ Listen to this episode on Youtube And explore many amazing articles about the pioneers at: https://vietcetera.com/vn/bo-suu-tap/vietnam-innovator Feel free to leave any questions or invitations for business cooperation at hello@vni-digest.com

    Leader from McKinsey: Can AI be powerful enough to replace us? | McKinsey & Company | EP 372

    As AI becomes increasingly prevalent, many companies are exploring ways to leverage the technology to enhance strategic effectiveness. However, the real advantage lies not simply in the tools themselves, but in how organizations use their existing data - from historical performance and operational efficiency to market expansion potential. When integrated effectively, AI can offer deeper insights into opportunities and challenges, while a clear understanding of the business remains essential to success. AI tools are most powerful when combined with human judgment. While AI can accelerate processes and improve analytical accuracy, strategic decision-making, creativity, and organizational alignment continue to rely on human thinking. It is the synergy between AI and human intelligence that enables a more holistic and sustainable approach to strategy. Listen to Mr. Bruce Delteil, Lead of Asia Strategy Service Line, McKinsey & Company, in episode 372 of the Vietnam Innovators podcast, as he shares insights on how organizations can harness AI and data to strengthen strategic development in today’s business environment. ____ Listen to this episode on YouTube And explore many amazing articles about the pioneers at: https://vietcetera.com/vn/bo-suu-tap/vietnam-innovator Feel free to leave any questions or invitations for business cooperation at hello@vni-digest.com
