VITW 2026 Officially Opens, Bringing Together More Than 2,000 Industrial and Technology Booths
HANOI, VIETNAM - Media OutReach Newswire - 10 September 2026 - Vietnam Industry and Technology Week 2026 (VITW 2026) officially opened today, bringing together more than 2,000 booths from leading Vietnamese and international companies.
Under the theme "Technology Leads - Industry Transforms - Breakthrough Beyond", VITW 2026 combines exhibitions and technology demonstrations with specialised conferences and business matching, offering an up-to-date view of the trends shaping global industry. The VITW 2026 Opening Ceremony took place at VEC on September 9, 2026, marking the start of three days of exhibitions and industry-focused conferences.
The exhibition runs until 11 September at the Vietnam Exposition Center (VEC) in Dong Anh, Hanoi, and is expected to draw more than 70,000 visits.
Exhibitors include hundreds of leading companies in vehicle electrification, automation, green manufacturing and supply-chain restructuring, from Vietnam and around the world. Over the three days, they will look for buyers and investment partners, extend their networks and gain an early read on the latest trends in the industry.
In 2026, VITW brings together more than 2,000 booths across more than 70,000 m² at VEC, organised into seven exhibition, fair and conference zones: the Vietnam International Industrial Fair 2026 (VIIF 2026); the International Manufacturing Congress 2026 (IMC 2026); the Hanoi Major Industrial Products Fair 2026 (Hanoi MIP Fair 2026); Automation World Vietnam 2026; the Vietnam International Technology Exhibition Series 2026; the 3rd International Clean Energy, Power and Energy Storage Industry Exhibition Series; and the 3rd Vietnam International Hardware, Hand Tools, Fasteners and Electromechanical Equipment Exhibition 2026.
Among these, the Vietnam International Industrial Fair 2026 (VIIF 2026) is one of the flagship events, spanning three exhibition halls. It showcases complete motor vehicles alongside their ecosystem of components, batteries, charging infrastructure, robots, machinery and manufacturing software.
In vehicles and supporting industries, the highlights include VinFast with its electric vehicle range and Hai Au with its Chenglong trucks; Tinh Nhue Hung Yen together with Hatico, Bristar, Navicom and FECO Vietnam, presenting mechanical products, components, seats, displays, dashcams and emission-reduction equipment; and battery and charging-infrastructure players such as Mikano and Wanxianghui.
Next comes the mechanical engineering and automation group, with industrial robotics solutions from CNCTech and Roboworld; high-precision machinery and mechanical equipment from AKC Engineering, T&T Vina, XYD Vietnam and AIT Innovation; industrial software from VINIS; and smart home appliances from VPlus Vietnam.
The gathering of major industry names at VIIF 2026 - from electric vehicles, components and energy to robotics, mechanical engineering and software - reflects the shift in Vietnamese industry towards electrification, automation and stronger domestic supply capacity. VIIF also opens the door for companies to find suppliers, partners and markets in a new phase of growth.
Adjoining VIIF 2026 is the Hanoi Major Industrial Products Fair 2026 (Hanoi MIP Fair 2026), organised by the Hanoi Department of Industry and Trade. Across more than 9,000 m², the fair presents five strategic sectors: microchips and semiconductors; information technology; electrical, electronics and refrigeration; mechanical engineering and automation; and healthcare, textiles and garments, leather and footwear, and food and beverage. Visitors can see technology applications first-hand and speak with companies at their booths, connecting Hanoi's businesses with manufacturers, buyers and technology partners from around the world.
Speaking at Hanoi MIP Fair 2026, Mr. Tran Duc Hai, Member of the Hanoi Party Committee and Director of the Hanoi Department of Industry and Trade, said: "Organising the Hanoi Major Industrial Products Fair 2026 demonstrates the effort and commitment of the city of Hanoi to actively and effectively implementing the Central Committee's resolutions on industrial development, science and technology, innovation and private-sector development."
Alongside the exhibitions, dmg events – one of the world's leading exhibition organisers - and VEC are co-hosting the International Manufacturing Congress 2026 (IMC 2026), bringing together 60 speakers: policymakers, business leaders, investors and experts from Vietnam and abroad. Through 17 in-depth sessions, IMC focuses on the issues now shaping companies' competitiveness, including advanced manufacturing, AI and automation, attracting high-value investment, supply-chain restructuring, energy security, green manufacturing and workforce development.
Alongside IMC, the Business Matching programme gives companies a direct channel to buyers, distributors, investors and technology partners - to find outlets for their products, evaluate solutions and build future partnerships.
IMC 2026 also marks the start of a long-term partnership between VEC and dmg events. dmg events' international organising experience, combined with VEC's operating capability and domestic partner network, will continue with the Vietnam International Industrial Fair 2027 (VIIF 2027). Building on VIIF's 35-year history and 32 editions, the two sides aim to expand the exhibition footprint, raise the quality of stands and the visitor experience, and deepen the professional content through the accompanying conferences, forums and investment-matching activities.
Representing the organiser, Ms Lý Hoa Liên, Deputy General Director of Business Development and External Relations at the Vietnam Exposition Center (VEC), said: "Through Vietnam Industry and Technology Week 2026, VEC hopes to help realise the vision of making Hanoi a major innovation hub of the Asia-Pacific region by 2045 – a place where ideas grow into projects and connections create value for the capital and the country. From VITW 2026, VEC will continue to bring international industrial and technology event series to Vietnam, widening the opportunities for Vietnamese companies to partner and reach global markets. We believe that, drawing on our own strength and the support of our international friends, Vietnam will achieve new breakthroughs in the nation's era of rising."
As a partner to VEC and to the Vietnamese market more broadly, Mr Christopher Hudson, President of dmg events, said: "Vietnam is well positioned to benefit from the trends reshaping global industry. Manufacturing contributes about 24.5% of GDP, while manufactured exports reached more than US$421 billion in 2025, close to 89% of total exports - evidence of Vietnam's growing role in global production and supply chains. As manufacturing enters a period of deep transformation in AI, automation, digitalisation, energy and talent, dmg events wants to work with VEC to build a strategic platform that strengthens the competitiveness of Vietnamese manufacturing."
VITW 2026 builds on the success of VITW 2025. In 2025, more than 70,000 visits and VND 600 billion in signed contracts showed that VITW's model of "multiple specialised exhibitions in one space" works, helping to lift the competitiveness and appeal of Vietnamese industry.
