On May 20th, I had a chance to visit a trade fair called Autotech Vietnam, 
under the industry of cars and motorbikes. Autotech & Accessories is the 
oldest and most prestigious specialized exhibition in Vietnam in the field of 
Automotive Industry - Motorcycles and Supporting Industry with 18 times 
held. This year, the trade fair had been taken place in 3 days from 19 to 21th 
May at Saigon Exhibition and ConventionCenter - SECC, Ho Chi Minh City.

Before attending to this trade fair, I had been so excited looking forward to 
seeing fancy cars and vehicles, but there was no cars but there was a wide 
variety of vehicle accessories on display from Vietnam and several foreign  firms.

The event is organized by the Department of Industry (VIA) and Asia Trade Fair
and Promotion Joint Stock Company (ATFA) and the Korean K-Wellness 
Association, in collaboration with the Vietnam Supporting Industry Association
(VASI), under Sponsored by the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry 
(VCCI). With an international scale, Saigon Autotech 2023 Exhibition not only 
has domestic enterprises (accounting for nearly 40%) but also brings together 
many foreign enterprises from many other countries in the region and the

diverse product lines. The exhibitors of Saigon Autotech 2023 will display and

The scale of the exhibition is 10,000 square meters for nearly 200 exhibitors 
with more than 300 booths. The products on display include spare parts and 
components: transmission and chassis, bodywork, interior and exterior. 
Vehicle accessories and tuning, repair and maintenance equipment, vehicle 
support electronics and systems, services and more including IT and 
management systems and the list go on.
Organizing activities including: pre-opening press conference, exhibitions and 
product introduction programs, specialized conferences and seminars, 
networking and trading programs, giving gifts to participants deals and  promotions.
As far as I can see, I think the trend for vehicle technology in the coming years 
will be automation and the introduction of more productive types of 
production that produce productive outputs that will support the vehicle  sector. 
There are many products that caught my attention. There is a company from 
Korea, it offers a product called laser processing head. The highlight of the 
product is that it can perform 3-D cutting and welding in an arbitary sequence 
without tool change. The “processing - head” is manufactured at the Lofa  Corp.,Korea. picture 7: Lofa Corp.
I went and asked why they came and became an exhibitor here. They 
enthusiastically told me that it is difficult to reach customers directly so they 
want to find distributors to enter and trade in Vietnam.
In addition, products from Vietnamese companies are also very good and 
interesting. There is a very prominent stall located at the entrance which is 
Fireball. The company offers a wide range of car care products and services, 
car washes, and provides car surface sealants, ect.  picture 8: Fireball
I stopped here for a long time to admire their eye-catching products, and 
participate in the experience activities of the booth, I drew a lottery and a very
beautiful pink glass cleaner bottle. Since I liked this red booth so much, I didn't
hesitate to ask them a few questions such as a short interview, knowing that 
their company is from the capital of Vietnam, Hanoi. They have been 
established for the last few years, coming to this trade fair they want to find 
partners as well as contact more customers, introduce and promote their 
products so that more people know about their products. Highlights as well as 
many gifts for visitors and the enthusiasm of the staff impressed me.
Their company offers a wide range of products and services, with prices 
ranging from 500,000 VND to 4,000,000 VND.
Through this trade show, I had the opportunity to participate for the first time 
and witness with my own eyes the gathering of many products from so many 
countries. I am very happy because Vietnam has a very dynamic trading 
environment and huge development opportunities. What it has inspired 
makes me want in the future I will also be a part of this business.
