Trio of industrial expos kick off in HCM City
Three exhibitions featuring industrial machinery, electronics manufacturing and supporting industries will open today at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Centre in District 7.
Metalex Viet Nam, organised by Thailand's Reed Tradex Company, will have 500 well-known brands and names from 25 countries and territories display the latest machinery, tools and accessories used in cutting, drilling, milling, grinding, welding, folding and other operations.
Nepcon Viet Nam, also organised by Reed Tradex, will have 200 firms from 25 countries and territories displaying assembly, measurement and testing technologies for electronics manufacturing.
The third expo, which focuses on supporting industries, will feature more than 100 Japanese and domestic companies in the automobile, motorcycle, electronics and other related industries.
At the show organised by the HCM City Investment and Trade Promotion Centre and Japan External Trade Organisation (JETRO), Japanese firms in Viet Nam will display parts they want to buy, while Vietnamese enterprises can showcase products they need to sell.
According to JETRO, local components only make up 28.7 per cent of Japanese firms' products, quite low compared to elsewhere in the region.
The exhibition is expected to facilitate an increase in the ratio of made-in-Viet Nam components in products.
The three-day combined show will also see NAO, the world's smartest humanoid robot, perform in Viet Nam for the first time.
Several seminars and technology presentations as well as business matchmaking and networking events will be held during the combined show that ends on October 6
