The event, the first of its kind in the country, is jointly held by the National Agency for Science and Technology Information under the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Vietnam Automation Association (VAA).
It provides opportunities for institutes, science-technology organisations, businesses and universities to seek partners, enlarge their market and transfer technology, making contributions to the country’s industrialisation process.
Speaking at the opening ceremony, Nguyen Quan, former Minister of Science and Technology and VAA Chairman, affirmed that automation technology plays a vital role in the context of industry 4.0 as it links all technology sectors and is present in production, business and daily life.
Without automation technology, Vietnam cannot realise the targets of the fourth industrial revolution, Quan stressed, adding that at the mart, businesses can discover advanced technologies which are suitable for their production capacity in order to enhance their productivity and the quality of their goods to increase their competitiveness in the region.

A forum on science and automation technology and a conference on science to branch out smart technology in industry 4.0 will be held during the techmart.
