The Korea Institute of Startup & Entrepreneurship Development's AI Innovation Team, in collaboration with the Korea Federation of Small and Medium Businesses, is hosting the 3rd Vietnam Smart Factory Expo at the Vietnam Exhibition Center (VEC) in Hanoi until September 11.
The event aims to facilitate the entry of domestic smart manufacturing technology companies into Vietnam and expand export opportunities while generating local business outcomes. This expo is being held concurrently with the Vietnam International Industry Fair (VIIF 2026) and the Hanoi Major Industry Products Fair (Hanoi MIP Fair 2026), marking the first time these government events have been combined.
A total of 114 smart manufacturing companies from both domestic and international markets are participating, with 218 booths set up. Domestic exhibitors will showcase smart manufacturing products and technologies at their booths, introducing them to local buyers and visitors. Additionally, manufacturing AI centers from Daegu, Ulsan, and Chungbuk are jointly operating exhibition booths to present their regional AI achievements and outstanding technologies.
On the first day, September 9, a 'Korea-Vietnam Smart Manufacturing Innovation Cooperation Forum' was held on the main stage, where participants shared insights on smart manufacturing policies, global technology trends, and exemplary cases of smart factory implementation in Korea. On September 10, a briefing on the 'Vietnam ODA Smart Factory Process Improvement Consulting Project' will be conducted for local manufacturers and participating companies.
Ahn Kwang-hyun, head of the AI Innovation Team, stated, "Vietnam has formed a manufacturing cluster with a concentration of global manufacturers and their partners, making it a promising market for domestic smart manufacturing technology companies to expand overseas. We will actively support this expo to ensure that domestic companies not only showcase their technologies locally but also achieve actual exports and business outcomes."
