The provincial Business Association currently has 12 chapters, five member organisations, and 839 members. In the first quarter of 2025, the association continued to effectively fulfill its role as a representative organisation and a bridge between the business community and state agencies. It also gathered and supported the development of member businesses, contributing to the province’s socio-economic growth.

The business community in Son La strictly complied with legal regulations and contributed over 889 billion VND (34.33 million USD) to the state budget, exceeding the target by 11.2%. They also created jobs and ensured stable incomes for more than 100,000 workers, while effectively implementing social security and social insurance policies for employees.

Demonstrating social and community responsibility, in Q1, members of the provincial Business Association actively participated in several emulation movements, such as "Joining hands to eliminate makeshift and dilapidated houses in Son La province in 2025," "Joining hands to build new rural areas," and "For the poor – leaving no one behind," along with many charitable and social activities, with a total value of over 30 billion VND.

Speaking at the event, the Chairman of the provincial People's Committee acknowledged and commended the efforts, determination, and contributions of the Son La business community in recent times. He emphasised that the province's policy is to provide substantive support and create maximum favourable conditions within the legal framework for projects to be implemented promptly, facilitating business and production.

He also requested that departments and agencies proactively review, identify, and promptly resolve difficulties and obstacles facing businesses and investors, avoiding delays that could negatively impact business operations and the province’s investment environment. He called for promoting the spirit of "listening – accompanying – taking action – supporting" to build a sustainable and thriving business community in the province.
