NEW DATE: PITCHING & AWARDS CEREMONY - PLASTICS CIRCULARITY INNOVATION CHALLENGE 2024

BritCham is excited to announce the Final Pitching & Awards Ceremony for the Plastics Circularity Innovation Challenge has been rescheduled to the 22nd October 2024!

Vietnam is currently at a pivotal moment in its fight against plastic waste, with an alarming 71% of waste ending up in unhygienic landfills and a substantial portion of plastic packaging being improperly treated. In response to this challenge, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MONRE), in collaboration with Unilever Vietnam, the British Chamber of Commerce (BritCham), and the Startup Vietnam Foundation (SVF), launched the Plastics Circularity Innovation Challenge in April 2024. The initiative attracted over 100 applications from organisations and individuals across the country.

After five months of thorough evaluations by a panel of judges with extensive experience and expertise in plastic recycling, waste management, and related fields. We have selected the top 20 projects, with the top 5 now advancing to the final round.

BritCham cordially invites you to the Pitching & Awards Ceremony, featuring two key sessions, please register for the session that best fits your schedule and interests.

Morning session at 8:30: Teams’ exhibitions and networking
Afternoon session at 14:00: Pitching competition with the top 5 projects competing for awards in the categories of Innovative Ideas and Promising Solutions

We believe that your presence will not only support these pioneering efforts but also contribute to Vietnam's journey towards a more sustainable future.

JOIN ONLINE WORKSHOP: CBAM – OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES FOR VIETNAMESE & FDI BUSINESSES

Climate change continues to challenge global sustainable development, and regulatory measures like the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) are becoming increasingly important. Proposed by the European Commission and the UK, this mechanism will reshape global trade dynamics, directly affecting industries that export to the UK or Europe, including many in Vietnam.

BritCham in partnership with BSI Vietnam, is hosting an exclusive online workshop to help businesses understand how CBAM will impact Vietnamese and FDI businesses. Learn how to navigate the new regulations, adapt your business, and seize opportunities in this changing landscape.

This workshop is free for BritCham members and their employees. Non-members can join for only VND 250,000.
