Brasilinvest, one of Brazil’s most traditional private investment groups, is strengthening its international presence with the opening of a new office in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The new unit will serve as the group’s headquarters and operational center for all of Asia, marking a strategic step in the expansion of its activities across the continent.
Founded in 1975 by Mário Garnero, Brasilinvest built its trajectory by connecting major projects, international capital, and development opportunities in strategic markets. Over the past five decades, the group has consolidated its activities in sectors such as infrastructure, energy, agribusiness, mining, real estate, and structured projects.
The choice of Ho Chi Minh City as its regional base reflects Vietnam’s growing role in the global economic landscape. Today considered one of Asia’s most dynamic markets, the country has been attracting large-scale international investments, driven by industrial growth, the expansion of global supply chains, and its strengthening position as a strategic hub in Southeast Asia.
The Vietnam operation will be led by executive Lan Anh Nguyen, who will be responsible for driving business expansion and strengthening the connection between Brazil and Asia. The presence of local leadership reinforces Brasilinvest’s strategy to expand its execution capacity and institutional relationships in the region.
The new office will focus on expanding business, trade, and strategic development bridges between the Brazilian market and Asian countries, with special attention to opportunities in energy, infrastructure, commodities, technology, and agribusiness.
Among the strategic fronts already under discussion, bioenergy stands out as one of the main pillars. Amid the volatility of the global oil market, ethanol has emerged as an important alternative to strengthen energy security, reduce dependence on fossil fuels, and contribute to long-term supply stability.
Recent agendas have also advanced concrete plans involving bioenergy development, international commodity trade, new financial infrastructure, and blockchain-based economic models. One of the main objectives is to connect Brasilinvest to the International Finance Corporation (IFC) ecosystem in Vietnam, creating a platform for long-term cooperation between global investors and the Vietnamese market.
This move also reflects the strengthening economic relations between Brazil and Vietnam, which have gained increasing relevance in recent years. Bilateral trade has shown consistent growth, and Brasilinvest’s establishment in the country signals a new phase in the business integration between the two economies.
With this initiative, Brasilinvest reaffirms its historical vocation as an articulator of major international investments and expands its positioning in one of the most promising markets of today.
