VinFast-linked GSM is planning a Hong Kong IPO with a valuation of up to $3 billion. Explore the strategy behind Vietnam's largest electric taxi operator's global expansion.
Vietnam's rising mobility star, GSM (Green and Smart Mobility), is preparing for a major debut on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

GSM Hong Kong IPO $3 Billion Valuation Details
Sources familiar with the matter suggest that GSM is interviewing investment banks to lead the IPO process, potentially as early as the first half of next year. The company has rapidly scaled its operations, deploying over 30,000 electric taxis and bikes in Vietnam since its launch. An international listing would provide the capital needed for its planned expansion into neighboring markets like Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia.
The Symbiosis with the VinFast Ecosystem
Until now, GSM has served as a vital captive customer for VinFast, absorbing a significant portion of its EV production. By securing independent funding through the $3 billion valuation IPO, the company aims to reduce its reliance on group-level financial arrangements and establish itself as a standalone regional mobility leader.
