From May 7 to 9, 2025, a business delegation of 17 Vietnamese managers participated in The smarter E Europe expo in Munich as part of the “Partnering in Business with Germany” program, implemented by GIZ on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWE). Organized by the Export-Akademie Baden-Württemberg, the visit focused on advancing Vietnam’s capabilities in renewable energy, e-mobility, and digital infrastructure.
The delegation represented a range of sectors—from solar and battery technology to engineering services and manufacturing. All participants shared a clear objective: to identify innovative solutions and forge international partnerships that support Vietnam’s sustainability and climate-neutrality goals. Beyond their primary fields, many actively sought out cross-industry connections, reflecting Vietnam’s growing interest in integrated, scalable green technologies.
Throughout the expo, the group engaged directly with leading German companies including HellermannTyton GmbH, SL Rack GmbH, and INSYS icom GmbH. These structured meetings allowed for detailed exchanges on photovoltaic systems, industrial connectivity, and remote access technologies. Discussions led to initial cooperation talks and follow-up steps for potential pilot projects in Vietnam.
What stood out was the delegation’s proactive engagement. Members initiated conversations beyond scheduled meetings, connected with PG peers from other countries, and explored opportunities with stakeholders from both industry and associations. Their networking efforts were aimed not only at sourcing technology but also at co-developing solutions tailored to Vietnam’s rapidly evolving energy market.
This engagement underscores the role of the Export-Akademie Baden-Württemberg in enabling targeted, results-driven collaboration between international markets and the German innovation landscape—especially in sectors critical to climate and digital transformation.
