A. Objectives/Purpose of Assignment
Back ground
The Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade) is the Australian Government
agency responsible for promoting trade, investment and international education, and tourism
policy, programs and research. Austrade contributes to Australia’s economic prosperity by
helping Australian businesses, education institutions, tourism operators, governments and
citizens as they:
develop international markets and promote international education
win productive foreign direct investment
strengthen Australia’s tourism industry
seek consular and passport services.
In Vietnam, Austrade is active in key sectors of Education, Agriculture, Resources & Energy,
Infrastructure, Services and Manufacturing. In recent year, Austrade is receiving an increasing
amount of enquiries from Australian companies looking to invest in Vietnam, particularly in
manufacturing. The rationale is usually either to have another base in their global supply chain,
or to have a manufacturing base to service increasing sales within the Asia region, particularly
within ASEAN.
As such, Austrade now seeks to engage a consulting firm (“Firm”) or independent experts to
conduct a mapping exercise on Manufacturing Industry in Vietnam in order to scope out
potential subsectors that may be of advantage and interest for Australian manufacturing
companies. In particular, Austrade Vietnam would like to have a helpful report we can share
with Australian clients that is marketable (i.e. graphic designed including infographics) as well
as having a suite of information that allows them to understand the key considerations of
setting up a manufacturing business in Vietnam. The report will help profiling Vietnam as a
potential regional manufacturing base for Australian companies.
