Highlight from Vietnam Industry and Technology Week 2025

Vietnam Industry and Technology Week 2025 concluded with 70,000 visitors and nearly VND600 billion in transactions over four days. The event boosted trade promotion and strengthened the supporting industrial ecosystem, connecting businesses with solutions, technologies, and partners across supply chains.

For the first time, five major exhibitions namely the CMES Vietnam International Machine Tool Exhibition, the Vietnam International Industrial Fair (VIIF), Vietbuild, Vietnam Int’l Cafe Show 2025, and Vietnam Door Industry Exhibition, converged on an 80,000 square meters area, featuring nearly 750 booths.

The CMES zone, focused on robotics, CNC machines, and automation solutions, attracted more than 1,200 professional buyers from domestic and international markets and became the event’s focal point. Machine tool and industrial equipment companies recorded high transaction volumes driven by domestic demand for technology upgrades. Live demonstrations, such as FANUC robots performing calligraphy, highlighted the growing trend of automation across supply chain segments.

VIIF, with over 30 years of history, hosted 126 B2B networking sessions, allowing supporting industry enterprises to connect with major manufacturers and explore deeper participation in mechanical, manufacturing, and materials supply chains. Vietbuild led in on-site transaction value with VND360 billion signed, while VIIF recorded US$8.6 million (approximately VND215 billion) in signed contracts and an additional US$62 million under negotiation.

Industry forums, including VRT & CONS 2025, expanded discussions on public-private partnerships, transit-oriented development, risk-sharing mechanisms, and technology transfer, helping create a more favorable policy environment for supporting industry enterprises in major infrastructure projects.

The results highlight the strong growth potential of Vietnam’s supporting industry. The second Vietnam Industry and Technology Week is scheduled for September 2026 and is expected to be even larger.
