As a premier international scientific forum focusing on economics, finance, and sustainable development in the digital transformation era, the International Conference on Sustainable Economics and Finance (INCOSEF) continues to affirm its position as a prestigious academic platform. The forum plays a vital role in connecting global knowledge and promoting cutting-edge research activities at Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics and Finance (UEF). Following the resounding success of the 2025 chapter, a solid foundation and clear development pathway have been established for the upcoming 2026 conference.
INCOSEF 2025 successfully fostered academic exchange and shared pioneering research on sustainable economics and finance amid digital transformation
Academic Footprints in Digital Transformation and Innovation
INCOSEF 2025 clearly mirrored the shifting paradigm of modern research mindsets within the framework of digital economy and sustainability. Prompted by rapid fluctuations in global technology and economic environments, the discussion topics expanded into interdisciplinary fields. The sessions focused deeply on digital transformation, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria, and innovation, thereby reshaping growth approaches and offering timely policy implications.
The conference attracted more than 150 international scientists and experts. Featuring 2 plenary sessions and 16 parallel tracks, INCOSEF 2025 generated a multidimensional academic space where research papers were not merely presented but actively defended, debated, and developed toward practical application.

The INCOSEF 2025 forum significantly boosted scientific research, international collaboration, and educational quality at UEF.
The featured presentations tackled highly topical issues, reflecting prominent research trends in the digital era. Key highlights included: (1) ESG & Capital Markets: Exploring green finance, market connectedness, and identifying greenwashing phenomena. (2) AI Applications: Leveraging Artificial Intelligence to foster financial inclusion for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). (3) Supply Chain Sustainability: Measuring and forecasting emissions across modern supply chains. (4) Digital Ethics & Consumer Behavior: Analyzing Gen Z's behavior in sustainable communication, along with data governance and digital ethics in the age of AI.
All presentation and discussion sessions were systematically organized by topic, emphasizing concrete research outcomes, methodologies, and policy recommendations. Parallel to these tracks, the exclusive "Meet the Editors" session offered participants direct exposure to international publishing standards, effectively helping researchers position their topics and enhance the quality of their scientific papers.
Through its rich repository of papers and intensive discussion tracks, the conference did more than just elevate the quality of scientific research. It actively strengthened academic networks and expanded international cooperation. Consequently, it has accelerated the translation of academic knowledge into practical solutions while making substantial contributions to UEF's educational quality and long-term research strategies.
