He added: “Vietnam is an attractive investment destination for businesses toinvest in.”

"This event is an opportunity for businesses to approach and findforeign partners, thereby participating more deeply in the production supplychain of many large corporations and enterprises."

According to the chairman of Toyota Motor Vietnam (TMV), the exhibition willconnect more international and Vietnamese manufacturers, thereby helping themto expand the supplier network. Through previous events, Toyota Vietnamhas connected with more than 20 potential suppliers, one of which has becomethe official supplier for TMV.

"We are launching new products assembled in Vietnam as part of efforts toincrease the ratio of domestically-made products. TMV hopesto connect with more local potential suppliers, thereby contributing tothe rapid development of the supporting industry in Vietnam," hesaid.

Vu Hong Quan, CEO of QMS Technology Co., Ltd., told local media: “Theenhancement of technology and management in enterprises is veryimportant as it is the determining factor to boostthe capacity and professionalism of Vietnamese enterprises, which helpthem to approach foreign partners from Singapore, the UK, Australia,and the US.”

Thang said: "Product quality, professionalism, cost, andmanagement level have to be improved internally, which will be abasis to reach higher production level and link with foreign partners."

He said the Government's support policies related to industrialdevelopment, processing and manufacturing were adequate. In the future, moreexhibitions and product introduction events are needed for businesses to havethe opportunity to meet and connect with each other. In addition, policies onloans and incentives in research and development of new technologies should beimplemented.”

Nguyen Quy Tinh, director of An Hoa Equipment and Technology SolutionsCo., Ltd., said for small and medium-sized enterprises, the cost to attendinternational exhibitions must also be considered, so State-supportedexhibitions were very practical for businesses.
