Supported by the Technology Transfer Support Center under the Ministry of Science and Technology’s Technology Application and Development Agency, Neoventure International Co., Ltd. will hold the Vietnam Solar E-Expo 2020 together with the APAC Solar Energy Digital Event 2020.

The Vietnam Solar E-Expo 2020 is the only virtual event platform optimized for connecting Vietnam’s solar energy sector, helping technology suppliers, manufacturers and buyers to communicate with each other. Organizers hope the event will provide numerous business opportunities. The event will be held at https://www.neoventurecorp.com/vietnam-solar-expo-2020/.

Within the framework of the 30-day event, a “Live Day” on October 27-28 will allow all visitors to communicate with exhibitors on chatbox, audio or video calls.

The APAC Solar Energy Digital Event 2020 - ASEAN Chapter, focusing on the ASEAN region (mainly Vietnam, Myanmar and Malaysia), will be held online on September 17-18, providing visitors with an instant B2B platform and a series of new opportunities. The event will be held at https://hopin.to/events/apac-solar-energy-digital-event-2020-asean-chapter/.

The APAC Solar Energy Digital Event 2020 - Vietnam Chapter, will be launched on October 20-22.

The three-day online event will be held at https://www.neoventurecorp.com/apac-solar-energy-digital-event-2020-vietnam/.

To Ngoc Son, deputy director of the Ministry of Industry and Trade’s Asia-Africa Market Department, said that in recent years, Vietnam has become a focus of many world-leading solar power firms and is likely to continue attracting additional investors. Vietnam currently has 99 solar power projects across the country with total capacity of 5,053MW, accounting for about nine percent of total power production.

Son said the government has adopted policies to support the growth of the solar energy sector in order to turn solar power into a spearhead industrial sector, advising businesses to make full use of this opportunity. He stressed the need for businesses to prioritize green and sustainable development orientations.

According to Son, the Vietnam Solar E-Expo 2020 is an important event that creates good opportunities for domestic and international investors, manufacturers and businesses to introduce advanced projects, products and technologies. It is also a favorable opportunity for parties to seek partners, exchange experiences, expand the scope of cooperation, access and apply cutting-edge technologies to contribute to the optimal development of renewable energy sources in Vietnam, meeting the country’s energy needs. The organization of online events due to the Covid-19 pandemic helps sustain trade and investment promotion activities, as well as technology transfer.
