The Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO), the Ho Chi Minh City Investment and Trade Promotion Centre (ITPC) and Reed Tradex Vietnam Company recently signed a cooperation agreement to organise the “Business Alliance for Supporting Industry” Show 2015 in Ho Chi Minh City.
 
The show is set to take place from October 8 to 10 in Ho Chi Minh City within the framework of Metalex Vietnam 2015 - the Vietnam International Exhibition on Machine Tools and Metalworking Solutions for Production Upgrade.
 
The Business Alliance for Supporting Industry Show 2015 aims to encourage parts produces to directly contact with Japanese buyers, and figure out future demands to build production strategies and systems to obtain best business results.
 
Duangdej Yuaikwarmdee, General Director of Reed Tradex Vietnam Company, said Vietnam is emerging as an attractive destination for foreign investors and this has resulted in higher demand for industrial parts. This requires industrial companies to understand factors that affect the development of supporting industries.
 
Hirotaka Yasuzumi, Director of JETRO Ho Chi Minh City Office, said, this year JETRO will organise many events to deepen Japan - Vietnam business ties and the Business Alliance for Supporting Industry will be a highlight of the event chain. Accordingly, JETRO will set up an exhibition area and trade connection meeting. He believed that the exhibition will contribute positively to the development of supporting industries of Vietnam and Ho Chi Minh City will build a foundation to become a typical production base in ASEAN in the future.
 
Incorporated with the “Business Alliance for Supporting Industry” Show 2015 is Metalex Vietnam 2015, a component of ASEAN’s largest metalworking exhibition. With seven international sections for China, Japan, Germany, South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand, Metalex Vietnam 2015 will gather world-wide advanced technologies and solutions. The event also includes a conference to highlight Vietnamese engineers’ capabilities.
