THE HANOI TIMES — The international business-matching exhibition for the manufacturing industry, FBC ASEAN 2025, will take place from September 17 to 19, 2025, at the Vietnam Exposition Center (VEC) in Dong Anh Commune, Hanoi.

About 80% of participants are manufacturers, giving businesses the chance to connect directly with more than 50 global corporations, including Mitsubishi Electric, Panasonic, Samsung, Fujifilm, Tiger, Foster and Sanyo Denki.

The event is significant in the context that manufacturing and supporting industries contribute 16%-17% of Vietnam's GDP and generate millions of jobs, according to the Ministry of Industry and Trade.

Vietnam counts around 6,000 supporting industry enterprises, yet they supply only a portion of the domestic demand for components and spare parts. In key sectors, localization remains modest, with mechanical engineering at 15%-20% and the automobile industry at 5%-20%.

FBC ASEAN 2025 will feature the latest technologies and equipment in mechanical engineering, automation, and electrical - electronic components, while building a platform for global trade and cooperation.

The program will include specialized seminars, technology transfer activities, and the online platform J-TECH Showroom, which allows businesses to arrange meetings in advance with international partners.

Organizers expect the exhibition to help Vietnamese firms embrace innovation and integrate more deeply into global value chains.
