In 2020, Vietnam introduced a policy to advance industrial technology for Industry 4.0 and establish Smart Factories. At the 2023 Development Meeting, VIFOREST's Chairman highlighted the importance of digital transformation and low-carbon strategies in development. This involved collaborating with various regions in Vietnam to create centralized processing industrial zones.

Several wood processing plants have shifted from automation to digitization in response to these policy trends. For example, Mau Son Industrial (Vietnam) replaced error-prone manual records with an ERP system, reducing losses and improving material usage. ASSOCIATE YANG (Vietnam) implemented a digitalized system to monitor production and minimize material waste.

The upcoming edition this year will be featuring a new Italian Pavilion, supported by the Italian Trade Agency - ICE. But on top of the Italian Pavilion, more national groups and country pavilions “Austria, Canada, China, France, Germany, the USA, and Taiwan (China) “ will also be present at the edition, not only bringing the industry network closer, but also extending the production chain across and beyond Vietnam.
