"At the NFQ Asia Summit in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, I had the pleasure of meeting Verena Schlüpmann and Sven Rittau of K5 - Future Retail - a great opportunity to exchange ideas on the future of Digital Commerce and AI. We’ve seen some truly exciting trends here, and I’m sure that some of these innovations will also make their way onto the K5 stage in Berlin on June 24–25, 2025. AI-driven marketing, new digital business models, and disruptive technologies - Asia is once again setting the pace! Looking forward to continuing these discussions at K5 2025 in Berlin!"

"Thanks a lot for this outstanding NFQ Summit 2025. It was my first time in Vietnam rather Saigon and Mūi Né and I had such a fantastic time over here. Thanks to the entire organizing team of NFQ especially the powerful women at NFQ 💪🔥. You all did a great job and gave us a fantastic and perfectly organized week. I made great new relationships and met some long-time companions and friends. Thank you for this fucking great event. See you in Germany, Berlin and at NFQ 2026."
Henryk Lippert
"... This trip to the NFQ Summit was a bit of a reunion with friends... People with whom I have much more in common than meetings and business plans. We joked, ate and make party in Saigon... Saigon is infectious with energy, but Da Nang has its own charm - the best dialogues happen between the waves and the smell of street food... I feel honored to be in a position to do business with such great people. Because at the end of the day, you're in business with people - and when those people happen to be friends, it's a precious honor... Many thanks to all the wonderful people I was able to spend most of my time with ..."

"The NFQ Summit 2025 in Vietnam literally rocked! 🤘 And I really enjoyed the panel discussion on Vietnam’s economic future. It's not a Paper Tiger. With booming FDI, thriving entrepreneurship, and unstoppable energy, this market is one to watch. 🚀 Beyond the panels, the agenda was next-level and it left me truly inspired. Tons of fresh perspectives to bring back to our work at AHK Vietnam - Delegation of the German Industry and Commerce in Vietnam! Massive thanks to Lars Jankowfsky and the entire NFQ team and everyone who made this summit such a standout event!"

"... Another personal highlight was having lunch with several of our colleagues from the Ho Chi Minh team. Yet another reminder:🌏 Distance doesn’t matter when you work together at eye level and share the right values. For over eight years, we SHOPMACHER eCommerce GmbH & Co. KG been working closely with NFQ – as if our teams were not thousands of kilometers apart, but sitting right next to us. Together, we’ve built structures, perspectives, and opportunities for both professional and personal growth – sustainably and with trust. I’m grateful to work in an environment and a role that allows me to meet such inspiring people and experience these unique settings – making work feel much more like a true hobby.🙏 Huge thanks to NFQ for the fantastic organization and for creating such a great platform for exchange, growth, and future insights ..."

"... So, once again, I packed my bags. And once again, I was not disappointed. What makes this Summit so special? Yes, it’s about business — E-commerce, digital models, AI, robotics, new formats, new channels. But this year, it was also about us as people. Sessions like “The Science and Art of Meditation for Leaders”, “Creative Clarity”, and “Healing by Drinking” (my special thx to Rich) left a lasting impression on me. But what truly makes this summit unique isn’t just being “far away” from daily business. It’s not just the cultural experience.✨ It’s the energy and passion the NFQ team pours into every detail.✨ The open, unbiased atmosphere.✨ The deep, real conversations. In a world that often values “bigger, faster, better,” this Summit creates a space for something different: genuine exchange, listening, and learning from each other — not just in business, but on a personal level, too. For that, I’m incredibly grateful to the NFQ team. It was an amazing time in Vietnam..."
