What is Green Innovation Summit?

Green Innovation Summit (GI Summit) is a premier summit on green innovation, bringing together forward-thinking leaders to share practical insights and real-world perspectives. The Summit convenes CEOs and business executives, industry experts, and heads of sustainability/ESG from leading corporations, alongside business associations, policymakers, investors, and green financial institutions. It also showcases innovative initiatives and solutions from the business community and innovators, aiming to accelerate sustainable business practices.

Organized by InnoEx - an International Innovation Alliance - the Green Innovation Summit is set to deliver even greater impact through its integration with the Green Innovation Zone (exhibition) and the Green Innovation Accelerator program. Together, these platforms highlight cutting-edge technological solutions that advance sustainability and ESG development.

What is the strategic role of the Green Innovation Summit in supporting Vietnam’s Net-Zero agenda?

We position ourselves as a “technical enabler” for the business community on their Net-Zero journey. While the government sets the targets and regulatory frameworks, the GI Summit provides a “practical playbook”, offering solutions, technologies, access to capital, and partner networks needed to translate national goals into viable business actions.

Mission to build an Ecosystem Architect

The mission of the Green Innovation Summit is to drive tangible progress for the green economy, where dialogues are transformed into action-driven partnerships, ideas evolve into projects, and commitments are realized through measurable outcomes. We go beyond discussions to build an ecosystem in which every connection delivers real impact on the journey toward sustainable development.

Green Shift:
What Powers the Next Advantage?

As Vietnam accelerates its Green Growth Strategy 2030 and Net Zero 2050 commitments, industries are entering a new phase where competitiveness will increasingly depend on their ability to adapt, decarbonize, and innovate.

The pressure is no longer driven only by sustainability goals, but also by shifting market demands, global supply chain requirements, energy transition, and the need or greater operational resilience. Businesses that can integrate green transformation into their core operations will be better positioned to access new markets, investment opportunities, and long-term growth.

Against this backdrop, Green Innovation Summit 2026 explores the key question: Which green shifts will truly define the next industry leaders? The Summit highlights practical pathways, technologies, and business models that enable companies to strengthen competitiveness while advancing toward a low-carbon future.

Leader Quotes

“Without proper preparation, when mandatory regulations take effect, we will be caught off guard and face the question of survival or extinction.”

"We cannot address a new demand with old formulas. To meet the expectations of the Net-Zero generation, businesses must innovate, from products to business models, to rapidly commercialize green solutions and turn green innovation into a mainstream economic force."

"The perspective on green transformation has changed significantly. What was once voluntary must now become a mandatory requirement. Individual efforts need to evolve into alliances. Green initiatives should move beyond being just social responsibility and become an integral part of business strategy. And isolated success stories must be transformed into practical solutions that can be widely applied."

"Our goal is not merely to follow global trends, but to identify “right-fit” solutions that turn smart energy into tangible economic value for each manufacturing facility."

"We developed the Goxy shrimp technology – ethical shrimp, with a model that plants mangrove forests before farming, reuses water, utilizes solar energy, and applies oxygen dissolution technology. By doing so, we can produce shrimp with zero emissions."

"For Net Zero, what we truly need is access to safe and hygienic food to eat what is essential, delicious, and meets proper standards. We shouldn’t have to go to Taiwan, Korea, or Japan for that; such products should be readily available in supermarkets right here in Vietnam."

"Green transformation goes beyond technology; it is fundamentally a governance issue. Policies fail when top-down direction and bottom-up execution are not aligned."

"Eco-industrial parks are no longer an optional concept, but a mandatory requirement driven by market forces."
