Vingroup is a prominent conglomerate based in Vietnam, known for its significant impact across various sectors of the economy, including real estate, retail, hospitality, education, healthcare, and automobile manufacturing. Founded in 1993 by Pham Nhat Vuong, the company initially started as a food production business under the name Technocom, but it has since evolved into one of the largest private enterprises in Vietnam.

The journey of Vingroup began in Ukraine with the establishment of Technocom, an instant noodle business.

This marked the beginning of Vingroup's diversification and expansion into multiple sectors. The company officially became Vingroup JSC in 2007, signaling its ambition to become a leading multinational conglomerate.
