BNI VIETNAM
BNI began laying its foundation in Vietnam in early 2007. However, due to challenges related to cultural differences, integration, business networking, and trade promotion, BNI was not officially established in Vietnam until August 2010. Vietnamese entrepreneurs traditionally conduct business based on trusted relationships and credibility—an approach that aligns perfectly with BNI’s core values.
Nevertheless, business practices in Vietnam have often been spontaneous and lacked a systematic structure. BNI addresses this gap by helping entrepreneurs systematize and transform the way they do business. This systematic approach is a distinctive factor that contributes to BNI’s success and differentiation. By joining BNI, members receive professional training and gain access to a global system designed to generate more business opportunities, thereby increasing revenue and profitability. These values have become the driving force for the founders of BNI Vietnam as well as its active members, who are committed to introducing Vietnamese entrepreneurs to a new and more effective way of developing their businesses.
Currently, BNI Vietnam has 8,438 members across 200 Chapters in major cities and provinces nationwide, including Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Hai Phong, Can Tho, Quang Ninh, Hai Duong, Da Nang, Nghe An, Thanh Hoa, Ha Tinh, Khanh Hoa, Lam Dong, Dak Lak, Ba Ria – Vung Tau, Dong Nai, Binh Thuan, Binh Duong, Lao Cai, Hung Yen, Binh Phuoc, Bac Ninh, Tay Ninh, Vinh Long, Soc Trang, Phu Yen, Bac Giang, Kien Giang, Binh Dinh, Quang Nam, and many others. Over the past 12 months, BNI Vietnam members have exchanged 420,211 business opportunities, with the total transaction value exceeding VND 16,366 billion.
