Phase 1 begins with banking, financial, insurance and telecommunications enterprises in Vietnam and ASEAN
On August 6, 2026, Ambassador Vu Quang Minh, Former Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and Representative of the Boston Global Forum in Vietnam, presented AIWS Trust Infrastructure at the VNR500 Conference in Hanoi, hosted by Vietnam Report — the annual gathering of Vietnam’s five hundred largest enterprises, at which the Top 50 leading companies in each sector are also announced.
At the conference, Vietnam Report formally began deployment of AIWS Trust Infrastructure — AIWS Trust Rating and AIWS Trust Index. Phase 1 covers enterprises in banking, financial services, insurance and telecommunications, in Vietnam and ASEAN, under BGF–AIWS supervision and in accordance with AIWS Trust Standards. Vietnam Report is Founding Business Partner of BGF–AIWS in Asia and Founding Coordinator for the region.
BGF–AIWS deploys AIWS Trust Infrastructure in the United States, Japan and Vietnam, holding the standards, the certification authority, and independent verification.
AIWS Trust Rating has now entered the operating decisions of major enterprises in one of Asia’s fastest-growing economies — the first time it reaches corporate Asia at this scale, and in the sectors where trust carries the most immediate consequence.
The initiative advances the spirit of the Shinzo Abe Initiative for Peace and Security: cooperation among trusted partners, so that emerging technologies serve peace, prosperity, and human dignity.
BGF–AIWS invites American, Japanese, Vietnamese, and other international enterprises, universities, and institutions to take part.
Trust must not merely be promised. It must be demonstrated, independently verified, and earned.
