French businesses tap market in Vietnam

Representatives from French businesses are due to visit Hanoi and HCM City from March 24-27 to meet and liaise with potential customers, according to the French Trade Promotion Agency (UBIFRANCE Vietnam).

The working visit, organized by UBIRANCE, will provide an opportunity for French businesses to introduce and share their technologies, services and experiences with Vietnamese partners.

These businesses specialize in plastics and cosmetics surgery and providing medical equipment to treat allergic and respiratory diseases.

UBIFRANCE Vietnam said that Vietnam’s medical equipment imports from foreign markets were estimated at over US$634 million last year and is likely to reach a staggering US$1 billion by 2015.

At present, 90% of medical equipment used in hospitals and medical stations across Vietnam are imported from abroad.
