Organized by the Ministry of Construction and the Vietbuild International Exhibition Organization Company, the five-day event highlights green and sustainable technologies, including circular solutions, renewable technologies, clean energy, and digital applications from Vietnam, Japan, India, China, France, Italy, the US, Germany, the Republic of Korea, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines.

VIETBUILD, an annual exhibition of the construction industry under the Ministry of Construction, is held in major cities nationwide. This first VIETBUILD Hanoi International Exhibition 2026 is the largest-scale event, kicking off a series of seven exhibitions to be held across Vietnam this year.

Dr. Nguyen Quang Cung, Vice President of the Vietnam Building Materials Association and Chairman of the Vietnam Cement Association, said that if Vietnam achieves double-digit GDP growth of 10% or higher, the construction materials industry needs to boost production to meet demand.

“Vietnam imports very few construction materials, as they are primarily produced domestically. Each year, the VIETBUILD International Exhibition attracts around 15 countries and territories. China has the largest number of products on display at the event," said Cung.

As part of the exhibition, a range of activities will be held, including seminars, a B2B forum, exchange programs, and hybrid trade connection meetings between departments, agencies, business associations in northern provinces and cities, and domestic and foreign businesses.
