    Greendot Connection Consultancy (GCC), registered in Australia, is a professional service connecting academics, urban planners and investors to the right contacts of local professionals and communities across the public and private sectors in Southeast Asia, especially in Vietnam and Indonesia. We also offer legal services for investors and international business partners who plan to come and join the Vietnam emerging market.

     

    Our mission is to connect and act as a ‘mediator’ for like-minded people from inside and outside Vietnam. We aim to minimize the 'learning curve', reveal and highlight culturally diversified issues of Vietnam to our clients and vice versa. We save our clients' time and resources to reach different business opportunities and to gain a better understanding of local voices so that Vietnam, a developing country can achieve one of Millennium Development Goals (MDG): Partnership For Development.


    Our services are initiated and lead by a group of experts who have been working in multinational organisations and committed to work for the development of Vietnam in a transparent and respectable manner. We commit to high-quality services to engage people in right place, right person, and right purposes.
