Citi organizes Vietnam Digital Leaders Summit 2023

Shervone Saw, CCB’s Asia Digital Head, highlighted that Citi established its technology industry vertical eight years ago to support the startup ecosystem. The unit supports technology startups from infancy to maturity, offering customized solutions for every step of the journey.

Citi’s global network powers companies as they expand into new geographies. Citi is a pioneer in the technology industry in Vietnam, witnessing the rapid rise of companies to the unicorn stage.

At the event, James Perry, APAC Co-Head of TMT Investment Banking, showed that in 2023, private investment into technology companies in Southeast Asia is on track to surpass pre-Covid levels, despite substantial declines from the peak levels in 2021.

“We understand the importance of having a structured and dedicated approach to support the demands of fast-growing tech firms, particularly in a low-growth and volatile macro-environment. Our goal is to work with clients to form a winning strategy, to achieve new milestones, and to help them deliver their strategic objectives,” said Lin Hsiu-Yi, ASEAN & Singapore Head of Citi Commercial Bank.

In Vietnam, Citi has supported and served clients for nearly three decades, helping them navigate the opportunities and challenges of rapid growth and international expansion by enabling them to scale faster.

This flagship event served as a platform for engagement, connection, and exploration of new growth opportunities for clients, investors, industry veterans, and the Citi team.

“Whether clients are considering expansion, exploring partnerships, or seeking strategic financing, our dedicated team is ready to support their needs and enable their businesses to get into the next phase of growth,” said Ramachandran A.S., Vietnam Citi Country Officer.
