This international exhibition on SMT, testing technologies, equipment and support industries for electronics manufacturing is expected to attract over over 10,000 visitors.

The ninth exhibition promises to be a bridge connecting support companies and technology providers.

Kasinee Phantteeranurak, project manager of Reed Tradex Co Ltd, the exhibition's organiser, said "The influx of foreign electronics manufacturers to Vietnam has enabled transfer of technology and skills. More than ever, it's time for the country to develop its own ability and production base to sustain the trend."

NEPCON Vietnam, having been in Vietnam for nine years, will continue playing its role as a business-matching platform, returning to HCM City this year to meet the demands of the market, especially in the Southern area, she said.
