From August 27 to 29, the Automation World Vietnam 2025 exhibition, organized by COEX in collaboration with KOSMO, Becamex IDC, and the Ho Chi Minh City Automation Association (HauA), officially opened at the WTC Binh Duong New City Exhibition Center, marking the second time this international-scale technology event has been held in Vietnam. This year, the exhibition brings together more than 250 enterprises with over 300 booths from Vietnam, Korea, and several other countries, creating a comprehensive technology showcase and networking platform where manufacturers can directly access the latest trends and cutting-edge automation solutions. Featured exhibits include industrial robots, PLC & HMI control systems, smart sensors, data collection and analytics solutions, logistics automation systems, and machine vision technologies—all expected to provide practical answers for Vietnamese enterprises accelerating their digital manufacturing transformation.

A major highlight of this year’s exhibition is the launch of the ACE Automation Center, developed by Gradion, the main sponsor. Designed as an integrated platform linking factories, robot suppliers, and system integrators, ACE serves as a space for showcasing technologies such as AI, IoT, and WMS, while also functioning as a testbed for new production models and a training hub for high-quality human resources. More than just a technology center, ACE represents a collaborative bridge between businesses, universities, and international partners, embodying the global trend of smart manufacturing tied to skilled human capital and sustainable growth.

Beyond the exhibition floor, Automation World Vietnam 2025 features a series of high-level conferences with contributions from global technology leaders such as Bosch Rexroth and ABB Robotics. Discussions focus on critical topics including system integration toward Net Zero, industrial cybersecurity, next-generation robotics and AI applications, and the role of Digital Twin technology in modern production. Running in parallel, a Biz-matching program offers opportunities for Korean and Vietnamese companies to meet, exchange ideas, and establish strategic partnerships, thereby expanding investment prospects and strengthening integration into global value chains.

By combining cutting-edge technology displays, a pioneering automation hub, and an international knowledge-sharing forum, Automation World Vietnam 2025 is not only a platform to update the latest automation trends but also a strategic enabler for Vietnamese enterprises to enhance competitiveness and affirm their position within the Industry 4.0 landscape of Southeast Asia.
