Hanoi (VNA) – The Vietnam E-commerce and Digital Technology Application Forum 2025 is scheduled to take place in Ho Chi Minh City on September 5, bringing together nearly 600 domestic and international exhibitors and business delegations from major markets such as the US, China, France, Singapore, and Malaysia.

Reinforcing its status as a strategic platform for Vietnam’s e-commerce and digital technology sector, the forum, part of Vietnam International Sourcing 2025, will provide updates on global e-commerce trends while fostering opportunities for Vietnamese firms to promote products, expand export markets, attract investment, and enhance competitiveness.

Leading players such as Amazon Global Selling, Shopee, TikTok Shop, ViettelPost, Vietnam Post, JD Logistics, Fado, Sendo Farm, and France’s Taureau AI will be present, offering advanced solutions in supply chain optimisation, logistics, and digital marketing.

A series of specialised conferences will run in parallel, covering topics such as cross-border e-commerce exports to key markets (the US, ASEAN, China, and Europe), the application of AI and digital technologies to boost export efficiency, and updates on domestic and cross-border e-commerce trends. Sessions will also highlight modern logistics models and share best practices from both local and international enterprises.

The forum will further focus on building cooperation in training and e-commerce connectivity programmes for Vietnamese businesses abroad, in collaboration with the Alliance of Cross-border E-commerce (ACBC) and other major partners, helping exporters strengthen their capacity for independent cross-border operations.

With Vietnam’s e-commerce market valued at 25 billion USD in 2024, up 20% year-on-year and ranking among the top three in Southeast Asia, the forum is expected to provide not only strategic insights into market trends but also a significant boost for Vietnamese enterprises in brand building, management, and global competitiveness./.
