It is a deliberate integration of key sectors closely linked to Vietnam’s next stage of development: water supply, drainage and wastewater treatment; energy transition, renewable energy and energy storage; refrigeration, air conditioning and smart building technologies; supporting industries; and the rapidly expanding digital infrastructure of data centers and cloud computing”.
A notable new topic in this year’s program is “Sponge City & Eco-Industrial Parks: Blue-Green Infrastructure Solutions for Vietnam's Urban & Industrial Zones.” Amid the challenges posed by rapid urbanization, flooding and climate change, the Sponge City model introduces a new approach to stormwater management by enhancing water infiltration, retention and regulation while integrating green infrastructure with urban drainage systems. The topic will also broaden discussions on water and resource management in industrial parks towards more ecological, circular and sustainable models.
Alongside the professional discussions, Vietwater 2026 will continue to strengthen connections among businesses, academia and the next generation of water professionals through its Conference with Universities. These activities will give visitors opportunities not only to update their technical knowledge and understanding of emerging technologies, but also to discover new research, ideas and innovations addressing real-world challenges in the water sector.

Through the combination of technology showcases, specialised conferences and business networking programs, Vietwater 2026 aims to deliver a practical and productive visitor experience – enabling industry professionals to stay updated on emerging trends, identify relevant solutions, engage directly with technology providers and experts, and expand their professional networks, all in one destination.
A special highlight of this year's exhibition is the National Student HVAC Design Competition 2026, organized in collaboration with VISRAE and the ASHRAE Vietnam Chapter. The competition aims to create an academic and practical playground for students nationwide, encouraging research, innovation, and the application of specialized knowledge into real-world projects. Concurrently, it helps discover and develop high-quality human resources, supporting the build of a professional, sustainable, and internationally integrated HVAC community in Vietnam.
