Legacy of Growth
Under Mr. Viet’s direction, BIM Group evolved into one of Vietnam’s prominent multi-sector enterprises, impacting not just the local market but also extending its reach beyond the country.
A Journey in Education and Entrepreneurship
As highlighted by Forbes, Mr. Viet was an accomplished individual, holding a PhD in physics. His international education began as an Eastern European student. Together with his wife, he embarked on their business venture in Poland before returning to Vietnam to further their entrepreneurial aspirations.
Foundation of BIM Group
BIM Group was founded in 1994, starting with the construction of the Ha Long Plaza Hotel and later diversifying into aquaculture, real estate, and renewable energy sectors.

Investment in Renewable Energy
Through its subsidiary, BIM Energy, the company is heavily invested in renewable solutions, particularly solar and wind energy in Ninh Thuan. The facilities are strategically placed on a 2,500-hectare salt field, establishing Vietnam’s largest green economic zone dedicated to clean energy and salt production.
Future Goals
BIM Group’s investment in Ninh Thuan amounts to 12 trillion VND, with a vision of achieving at least 1 GW of clean energy, harnessing solar and wind, by the year 2025.
