Vietnam technology and innovation development

Overview

Vietnam continues to advance its technology and innovation sectors through large-scale industrial exhibitions and infrastructure-focused events. In September 2026, the country emphasized digital transformation across various sectors. Vietnam Water Week 2026 in Hanoi focused on using data-driven digital transformation to address climate change, urbanization, and resource scarcity. In the industrial sector, the Viet Industry – Cleanfact & RHVAC Vietnam 2026 exhibition in Hanoi showcased over 500 booths related to automation and construction, while VietnamPrintPack 2026 in Ho Chi Minh City connected the printing and packaging supply chain with international partners. Additionally, educational authorities in Quang Ninh province highlighted digital transformation and AI application as key priorities for the 2026-2027 school year. In October 2026, the focus shifted toward modernizing transport infrastructure through the VRT&CON 2026 exhibition and conference in Hanoi. Held from October 8-10, the event gathered regulatory agencies, investors, and technology companies to strengthen the domestic railway supply chain. Key areas of focus included infrastructure construction, signaling, safety, and smart station management. The event coincided with a period of significant investment in projects such as the 1,541km North-South high-speed railway, the Lao Cai - Hanoi - Hai Phong line, and metro networks in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. During the conference, Saint-Gobain Vietnam introduced specialized construction material solutions for transport infrastructure, noting that the country is entering a “historic cycle of transport infrastructure development.” Following the transport focus, Informa Markets Vietnam launched a ‘One Destination – Three Exhibitions’ model in Hanoi from October 13 to 15. This series, comprising ProPak Hanoi 2026, MTA Hanoi 2026, and Semitronics Vietnam 2026, brought together over 300 exhibitors from more than 20 countries. The integrated events targeted precision mechanics, manufacturing, electronics, semiconductors, and packaging technologies.
