Dear ,
Happy New Year and welcome back from your Tet holiday! We hope you enjoyed your break and are ready to take on the new year!
To begin the week, we would like to take a moment to highlight the launch of our upcoming 2022/2023 Whitebook on Feb. 16 in Hanoi. Each year, EuroCham's Whitebook summarizes sector-specific issues across the Vietnamese economy and offers recommendations. During the annual Whitebook Launch, high-level Vietnamese authorities will be presented with insights from the publication. This event is our foremost advocacy event of the year and is not to be missed!
EuroCham would also love to have you as a sponsor for this event! By contributing, you will put your company name front and center at our premier advocacy event of the year and will ensure the Whitebook Launch is a success.
