CLEANTECH MARKET VIETNAM REPORT
OFFICIAL PROGRAMME
CLEANTECH MARKET VIETNAM REPORT Executive Summary This report was produced under request of the Switzerland Global Enterprise for preparation of the ASEAN Business Forum in September 2013. It is aimed at Swiss exporters and investors based on two sectors of interest: waste management and renewable energy in Vietnam. The report is designed to to fulfil two major objectives: first, to provide a comprehensive overview of the waste management and renewable energy markets in Vietnam in terms of legal framework, institutional system, available technologies, technical issues, market potential and prospects; second, to identify business opportunities for Swiss investors and exporters based on analysis and evaluation of the waste management and renewable energy markets in Vietnam. In terms of structure, the report is divided into two major parts in accordance with two research topics. The first part covers the issue of waste management in Vietnam in which the market overview, institutional mechanism, technical aspects of wastewater and solid waste management, and prospects for business in the country’s waste management sector were clearly described. Meanwhile, in the second part, Vietnam energy market was depicted in details with more focus on renewable energy sector. The legal framework, institutional system, power system, development potential of renewable energy and energy efficiency as well as prospects for business development were presented to provide a full picture of the country’s energy market. Then for each sector, either waste management or renewable energy, specific recommendations for Swiss investors and exporters were provided based on previous analysis of the local market. Overally, the report shows that waste management and renewable energy in Vietnam are both potential business fields for Swiss enterprises. The government of Vietnam has developed legal framework and policies to encourage and facilitate participation of both local and international organizations in these sectors. Along with supporting policies, the increasing demand for waste treatment and energy use in Vietnam is a favourable condition for entry of Swiss investors and exporters to the country. However, it is also significant for Swiss enterprises to take into account possible risks of business investment in these two sectors to ensure their success. Language: English Number of pages: 72
