Leading Exhibition Organizer Sees Large Potential in Vietnam

 

We believe in Vietnam. The Government of Vietnam’s actions to speed up its economy are on right track. During the global economic downturn, Vietnam still recorded the high economic growth rate of 5.3% in 2009 while almost countries in the world and in ASEAN region experienced very low growth rates. Especially, Vietnam was successful in affirming its position as an ideal destination for foreign investors. These figures are clear evidences for the facts that there are lots of business opportunities in Vietnam in the coming years.

Despite bad impacts from the economic downturn, Vietnam’s industrial production value last year saw a dynamic growth of 7.6%, therefore, no one can deny the evident growth of Vietnamese manufacturing. Vietnamese industrialists must quicken their steps so that they can have the necessary technologies.

 

Vietnam is emerging as an outsourcing destination and good supplier of industrial products for the world and many international buyers have arrived Vietnam to make orders. This is good an opportunity for Vietnam’s manufacturing industry to develop.

 

 

We have three events in Vietnam this year.

 

The first event is Vietnam Manufacturing Expo which is now the “Largest,” the “Most Comprehensive,” and the “Only” manufacturing event in Hanoi, for the first half of 2010, that will feature the newest innovative technologies from around the world for 4 key manufacturing sectors. It incorporates 4 international exhibitions on machinery and technologies for industrial parts manufacturing including “InterPlas Vietnam 2010,” “InterMold Vietnam 2010,” “Automotive Manufacturing Vietnam 2010,”and “Automation Vietnam 2010” together are the domain of business opportunities where machinery and tool providers like yourself to get connected with prospective buyers and partners in “plastic & rubber manufacturing,” “mold & die making,” “auto parts manufacturing,” and “automated manufacturing technology” sectors.

 

The second show is NEPCON Vietnam, a world-renowned series of exhibition for electronic parts manufacturing industry, to be co-located with Vietnam Manufacturing Expo. The show of electronics products will not only answer to their requirements but also introduce new concepts, new trends, and new ideas, which will be complemented by new technologies and experts who can help them move forward and strengthen Vietnamese electronics supporting industry in the process.

 

The two events will be organized at the same time at I.C.E. Hanoi (Cung Van Hoa) in Hanoi on May 20-22. Vietnam Manufacturing Expo and NEPCON Vietnam 2010 is supported by Vietnam Automation Association(VAA), Vietnam Electro – Technical Industry Association(VELINA), Vietnam Steel Association (VSA), Vietnamese Association of Mechanical Industry (VAMI), Vietnamese Society of Automotive Engineers (VSAE), Vietnam-German Technology Transfer and Training Center(HWC), Hanoi University of Technology (HUT), BOI Unit for Industrial Linkage Development (BUILD), 'Department of Export Promotion (DEP), 'Office of Small and Medium Enterprises Promotion (SMEs), Thai Subcontracting Promotion Association, Thai Tool & Die Industry Association (TDIA).

 

Under one roof, over 450 leading brands from 25 countries, including 5 international pavilions from China, India, Singapore, Taiwan, Vietnam together with Thailand, are ready to showcase the latest innovations, solutions and services. We expects about more than 8,000 businessmen, industrialists, and visitors to the show, an increase of 10% over the last year’s event. including 5 international pavilions from China, , Singapore, Taiwan.

Yes, of course. The economic downturn has posed bad impacts to all sectors. Our major, traditional exhibitors from Japan, Singapore, China, Taiwan, India and others had to change their business strategies, especially their marketing approaches to adapt with dramatic declines in sales during 2008 and 2009. However, we have still received many new technologies and new innovations which will be displayed at our shows in order to catch up with new trends after the downturn.

 

The exhibition sector in Vietnam remains big potential. However, there are too many small-scale fairs and exhibitions organized in Vietnam every year. Visitors find it very difficult to select a suitable show to visit and they almost are unhappy after visiting such events. In my opinion, there is no exhibition which is considered famous, specialized and high-quality shows in Vietnam.

 

It is necessary for Vietnamese exhibition organizers to improve the quality of each show, focus on large-scale and international standard events to create useful marketplaces for all relevant parties.  

It will be the best celebration of Reed Tradex. This is also a reason and exciting motivation for us to improve the quality of all shows every year, and to create high-quality events which will benefit not only exhibitors and visitor from the marketplaces but also partly support industrialization strategies of each country. With 25 years of experience as a professional trade promoter and opportunity provider, we believe that the exhibitions and conferences we are preparing will provide Vietnamese industrialists with excellent opportunities to get face-to-face with the latest innovations, new knowledge and trends, and business networking opportunities
