The involvement of these 14 entities is expected to create a synchronized, integrated service chain. VEC anticipates that its connections with the Tourism Development Support Fund and ICHAM will link exhibition activities with national tourism promotion goals, while also expanding international trade opportunities. In terms of operations, VEC aims to establish modern standards through Momentus Technologies' digitalization solutions, combined with sustainable booth construction technology from Henoto and specialized technical infrastructure systems from Hong Hac and Nghi Tin. Furthermore, a multi-layered logistics network ensures the center can handle large volumes of goods, accommodating even the most complex exhibition scales.

Speaking at the event, Pham Thi Hien, Deputy General Director of Business and Marketing at VEC, stated that the signing ceremony not only expands the center's network but also creates a solid foundation for connection among businesses sharing a common vision.

"We believe the synergy between policy mechanisms, infrastructure platforms, and the operational experience of our partners will create events with regional influence, contributing to the growth of the global trade economy", Pham Thi Hien shared.
