According to the organisers, one of the highlights of this year’s exhibitions is the Industry 4.0 Experience Zone, where visitors can explore cutting-edge AI applications, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solutions and new-generation robotic technologies.

In parallel, a series of specialised seminars is being held to discuss emerging industry trends, including AI adoption in manufacturing, smart factory automation and the development of Vietnam’s supporting industries.

Beyond product displays and technology demonstrations, the exhibitions also feature enhanced business matching programmes designed to facilitate direct engagement between Vietnamese enterprises and suppliers from Singapore, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Taiwan (China), China and other major industrial markets.
