HCM CITY (Biz Hub) — There is a growing tendency to seek investment opportunities in the service industries in Viet Nam among Japanese companies, according to a speaker at a workshop in HCM City last week.

The workshop, held by the Japanese External Trade Organisation (JETRO), hosted some 60 Vietnamese businesses and 17 Japanese enterprises.

According to the organising board, Japanese businesses are interested in estate-related information and seeking spaces for restaurants and beauty care services in major commercial centres and shopping malls in HCM City.

They also seek partners, in a bid to expand Japan's high-quality retail chains.

Ho Xuan Lam, Vice Director of the Municipal Investment and Trade Promotion Centre, said that Japan's investment in the service field is increasing, along with its strong investment industry in Viet Nam. — VNS
