Recently held at the InterContinental Hotel in Bangkok, the Global Investment Forum for Peace & Prosperity (GIFPP 2025) brought together nearly 300 delegates from 14 countries and territories. The event welcomed a diverse audience, including senior government leaders, international experts, investors, entrepreneurs, and global media representatives.
Global Investment and Partnership for Peace and Prosperity Forum (GIFPP)
Jointly organized by the Vietnam National Startup Innovation Forum (VNSIF), GIFPP 2025 emphasized the creation of a global investment ecosystem that is responsible, transparent, and firmly aligned with the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Investing not just for sustainability, but for shared responsibility
The forum drew the participation of high-level delegations from governments, green finance institutions, and innovation centers across Thailand, the UAE, Dubai, Switzerland, Europe, and Southeast Asia.
Innovation as a bridge to global action
In-depth discussions at GIFPP 2025 explored the vital role of businesses and technology in accelerating impact investing, with a focus on high-impact sectors such as AI, blockchain, renewable energy, green finance, education, and healthcare.

Under the leadership of VNSIF, a series of SDG-aligned investment initiatives—targeting poverty eradication (SDG 1), public health (SDG 3), quality education (SDG 4), and climate action (SDG 13)—have been nurtured through strategic mentoring, networking, and support for global startups.
Launch of 9S UNION – A global impact investment ecosystem for peace
A major highlight of GIFPP 2025 was the official launch of the 9S UNION Global Economic Alliance—a fully digitalized platform developed by VNSIF and international partners. It aims to create a more inclusive, responsible, and transparent investment ecosystem for startups and SMEs worldwide.
Professor Dr. Martin Spraggon Hernandez – Strategic Advisor to the Governments of Dubai and Abu Dhabi, and Chairman of 9S UNION – joined representatives from 14 countries in the official launch ceremony of 9S UNION.
Dr. Francis Gaudreault, policy advisor to the Abu Dhabi Government, affirmed: “9S UNION is a strategic platform that connects capital with values and responsibility, while expanding the influence of global impact finance.”
At the forum, 12 countries signed Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs), committing to support at least 10 startup projects in key sectors including education, technology, healthcare, and clean energy—spanning ASEAN, the Middle East, Africa, and Europe.
The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signing ceremony between 9S UNION and international partners marks a concrete and meaningful commitment to collaborative action toward shared global objectives.
In addition, the forum introduced 7S CENTER, a digital commerce platform tailored for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Designed to remove trade barriers, 7S CENTER enables digital transformation and enhances export readiness across emerging markets.
More than a forum – A global movement in action
Beyond discussions and keynotes, GIFPP 2025 offered a wide range of interactive engagements, from B2B matchmaking sessions and green technology showcases to cultural exchange events. These activities created a collaborative space where nations and businesses could align visions and act together.
More importantly, GIFPP 2025 served as powerful evidence that investment is no longer just the realm of finance—it has become a tool to forge peace and drive sustainable global development. A tool that must be leveraged to address pressing global issues: poverty, climate change, inequality, health crises, and food insecurity.
The GIFPP Forum welcomed over 300 VIP guests, including several prominent global billionaires.
With Vietnam playing a central role in coordination and global partnership-building, GIFPP is setting a new standard—where socially responsible investment is not just a trend, but a strategic pathway toward a future in which peace and prosperity are not merely aspirations, but shared realities.
