DA NANG, Vietnam – The Da Nang Global Business Summit 2026: Silver Generation Innovation Edition will convene on Friday, May 15, 2026, at the Pullman Danang Beach Resort. This premier summit brings together high-level business leaders, policymakers, international investors, and healthcare pioneers to architect the future of elderly care, integrated healthcare, and senior living models in Vietnam. The event is set to firmly position Da Nang as a high-potential strategic hub for the “Silver Economy” in Southeast Asia.
As population aging becomes a global trend, this summit focuses on unlocking opportunities within Vietnam’s rapidly expanding elderly healthcare market. According to the Phoenix Research (2025) report, “Vietnam Elderly Care Market: Homecare, Assisted Living and Digital Telecare Transformation (2025–2033),” the market is projected to grow from USD 940 million in 2025 to USD 1.79 billion by 2033, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%. Notably, Central Vietnam—led by Da Nang—is forecasted to be the fastest-growing region with a CAGR of approximately 9.1%.
Ms. Huynh Thanh Thuy, Founder & CEO of Lion Huynh Tran Co., Ltd. – the summit’s organizer, stated:
“We are not just hosting a summit; we are architecting a new future for aging in Vietnam. By bridging international expertise with Da Nang’s unique potential, we aim to transform the ‘Silver Economy’ from a demographic challenge into a thriving, high-tech ecosystem.
