Executives from 10 Irish technology and software companies will visit Vietnam next month to look for business opportunities, according to the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry's HCM City office.

They will attend the Vietnam-Ireland Business Forum where they will showcase their products and technologies to around 50 Vietnamese counterparts.

The VIBF, one of several collaborative projects initiated by the two countries on a government-to-government basis, also offers Vietnamese companies a platform to develop their business in the country and region.

Its first session was held in Hanoi last November. To be organised this year by the Enterprise Ireland (the Irish Government's trade and technology agency), the VCCI and the Vietnam Software Association, the forum will take place on April 15 and 16./.
