Vietnamese enterprises are facing a big question: How to effectively utilize new technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), big data and automation to improve product quality, optimize operations and expand global market share?

The forum gathered many booths displaying high-tech products, introducing advanced technology solutions serving digital transformation in production.
