On the back of booming economic growth, a continuing inflow of foreign direct investment (FDI) and a youthful labor force, Vietnam is becoming Asia's new manufacturing hub. The Southeast Asia country has gradually established itself as one of the most attractive investment destinations in the region. The influx of foreign-owned manufacturing conglomerates setting up production bases in Vietnam has created new demand throughout the entire value chain. As a result, smaller firms wanting to keep up with the ever-evolving industry, and local support services looking to join the global supply chain are urged to take ready steps to upgrade technology and level-up their capabilities.
