The event took place on 18/3 at Sheraton Saigon Hotel, focusing on sectors such as: food, agriculture, beverages, agricultural technology, food technology, and restaurant services. This clear sectorial focus enhanced compatibility among businesses, allowing discussions to directly address specific cooperation needs rather than general introductions.

The exchange sessions were specifically arranged based on selected profiles and matched needs of each business. Meetings were continuous, focusing on expanding export markets, sourcing internationally compliant supplies, transferring processing technology, fostering distribution partnerships, and developing restaurant chains.

Representatives from several participating businesses stated that meeting partners directly from Japan and Thailand significantly shortened the time needed to identify and evaluate cooperation opportunities. Similarities in quality standards and sustainable development orientations also laid a foundation for subsequent collaborations.

Amidst the restructuring of global supply chains towards transparency, traceability, and technological optimization, food and agricultural businesses require more than just transactional partners. They need value chain linkages and a robust supporting ecosystem to accelerate growth.

Through the event, businesses gained additional opportunities to expand their networks, access new partners and markets, and seek technological solutions to enhance productivity and product quality. This also opened possibilities for establishing long-term cooperation in production, distribution, and services, thereby contributing to elevating their recognition and standing in the region.

A representative from the organizing committee stated that with its expanding scale and continuously improving connection quality, the conference is gradually becoming a sustainable cooperation platform for the business community. Initial connections made at the event could serve as a premise for parties to continue working towards specific cooperation agreements in the near future.
