East Saigon Business Association (merging the former associations of Thu Duc City, Nha Be District, and Can Gio District)
-
Northwest Saigon Business Association (merging the former associations of District 12, Hoc Mon District, and Cu Chi District)

The unification helps ensure continuity, enabling businesses to continue participation, expand their operations, and strengthen the collective business community — aligned with the new organizational structure following the administrative reorganization.
During the conference, HUBA also launched the 2025 edition of the “Outstanding Products and Services of Ho Chi Minh City” award program.
On this occasion, HUBA presented Certificates of Commendation to 22 collectives and 22 individuals, who are former chairpersons of the business associations from the old districts and Thu Duc City, in recognition of their significant contributions to business networking and support activities in recent years.
