With the message “Connect – Cooperate – Develop Sustainably”, the "An Lac Business Hub" platform, at phuongAnLac.Arobid.com, is expected to serve as a comprehensive digital trade gateway. It will enable local businesses to directly access a network of importers, distributors, buyers, and domestic and international investment funds. The platform aims to help enterprises accelerate digital transformation, boost competitiveness, seek partnerships, and expand exports through a single digital channel.

At the launch, businesses and guests experienced Arobid.com, a pioneering B2B platform which integrates online exhibitions, 3D/VR technology, big data, and AI.
Chairman of the Arobid Technology JSC Tran Van Chin said the launch represents a strategic move towards creating a holistic digital ecosystem that assists businesses in An Lac and HCM City at large to digitalise commerce and boost B2B ties.

The company is committed to working with local authorities and the business community to make An Lac a model of digital transformation at the grassroots level, he said.

Le Truong Hai Hieu, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of the People’s Council of An Lac ward, expressed strong support for the initiative, describing digital transformation as a core driver of economic growth.

He noted that in its 2025–2030 term, the ward aims to leverage digital technology to promote economic growth in HCM City’s western area, turning An Lac into an important trade and logistics hub of the city.
