The deputy minister noted that the exhibition serves as an important platform for enterprises to enhance competitiveness and adapt to new development requirements. It also reflects the consistent policies of the Party and State to promote green economy and circular economy, ensure efficient resource use, develop environmentally friendly building materials, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to national commitments on sustainable development and climate change response.

​Nguyen Hong Giang, Director of Net Zero Solutions JSC, said Da Nang is maintaining strong growth momentum, with numerous construction projects underway. He added that through its exhibition the company aims to introduce green architectural solutions and environmentally friendly technologies to local authorities, investors, and residents for practical application. These efforts are expected to help Da Nang maintain its image as a green, clean, and beautiful city, while reinforcing its reputation as one of the most liveable cities in Vietnam.

Running from May 6 to 10, the exhibition showcases thousands of new products and advanced technologies across multiple sectors. It serves as a key platform for connecting supply and demand, promoting innovation, and spreading green and sustainable development trends in the construction industry.

Within the framework of the event, a seminar on green materials will be held, co-organised by the Vietnam Association for Building Materials and the organising board. A series of forums will also take place, focusing on new products, advanced and environmentally friendly technologies, digital transformation, green transport, energy efficiency, and environmental protection for sustainable development./.​
