Their participation underscored the close synergy between industry players and the local administration in their combined effort to address ongoing challenges and opportunities in the segment.
Similar to the previous session held in Thailand, attendees in Vietnam had the opportunity to gain a closer look on various technology offerings from renowned industry players such as DEC, Kohli, D.W. Renzmann, SOMA, and Daetwyler. This hands-on experience was made possible through an exhibition at the event, allowing participants to explore innovative solutions with guidance from numerous industry experts.
