The chamber arranged introductions and meetings with key stakeholders including government entities, potential dealership partners, and distributors, significantly smoothing VinFast’s market entry and operational setup in the region. The company’s decision to anchor its regional operations in Dubai reflects the city’s unique competitive advantages as a global trade hub and gateway to the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia markets.

VinFast has made significant strides since establishing its office in the Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA) with the support of Dubai International Chamber. The company has signed dealer agreements in Oman and UAE, indicating its strong growth potential in the Middle East. VinFast plans to expand its product line and form strategic local alliances to enhance its market presence.
