Our Mission

Why "Returnees" Matter for Small Provinces

Every year, thousands of talented young Vietnamese leave their hometowns for major cities. Opportunity flows outward, and smaller provinces are left behind.

Pleiku Returnees exists to reverse that flow.

We believe that when skilled professionals come home with experience, networks, and new ways of thinking, they don't just return - they unlock sustainable growth for their communities.

  • Economic Growth

    Bringing skills and investment back home

     
  • Cultural Preservation

    Protecting local heritage and traditions

     

From Pleiku Returnees, we understand the advantages and disadvantages of living in small city.

Our mission is ambitious:

inspire other local cities to take the advantages of small cities to build a firmly local economy that align with big cities, Vietnam, and global economy.

Our Vision

Cluster of Small Cities across the Central of Vietnam

Small cities don’t grow in isolation.

We’re aiming to create a connected network where each city strengthens the others, and access to one unlocks the whole system.
