Background:

The Vietnamese Women Entrepreneurs Association in Japan was officially launched in Osaka, starting a new phase in the business and community life of overseas Vietnamese. The announcement took place as part of the “Homeland Spring – Great Unity Tet Osaka 2026” celebrations.

The new association aims to bring together Vietnamese women who are living, working, and running businesses in Japan. It plans to create a strong support network where members can share experiences, build partnerships and develop their enterprises in a foreign market.

Organisers say the group will not only support economic activity but also help raise the profile of Vietnamese women within the wider community in Japan. By connecting business with culture, the association wants to highlight the contribution of women entrepreneurs to both economic growth and the preservation of Vietnamese traditions abroad.

Le Thuong, Secretary General of the association, said the launch marks an important step forward for Vietnamese women entrepreneurs in Japan. She said the organisation will offer opportunities to network, learn, and work together, while acting as a hub for economic and cultural exchange. She added that the association hopes to project the image of a united, dynamic, and creative Vietnamese community.

Beyond business, the association plans to organise cultural events, education programmes, and charity activities. These efforts aim to strengthen community ties and support sustainable development among Vietnamese families living in Japan.

Community leaders believe the association will serve as a bridge between entrepreneurs, cultural groups, and social organisations, making it easier for members to collaborate and support one another. They also see it as a platform to encourage the next generation of Vietnamese women to enter business and leadership roles.

With its formal launch, the Vietnamese Women Entrepreneurs Association in Japan aims to drive growth, unity, and cultural pride for the Vietnamese community across the country.
