Mr. Hirotaka Yasuzumi, Managing Director of Japan External Trade Organization, Ho Chi Minh Office (JETRO) said that Vietnam is one of the promising countries for Japanese companies. By 2020, Vietnam will become an industrialized country with sufficient supplies of raw materials and basic fuels. Currently, Japanese are the biggest foreign investors in the country in terms of investment size, due to the advantages in low labor cost and a larger market. Japanese companies focus on components (e.g. small motors for the automotive industry’s export) and textiles. Vietnam has lower labor cost, and is suitable for marketing- or sales-based i.e. distribution outlets for Japanese products into Vietnam. We would like to urge Vietnamese SMEs to develop higher competitiveness for Japan’s investment expansion.

“This MEGA Show in October is a very important opportunity that industrialists, manufacturers and businessmen in Vietnam should not miss. For the 5th Exhibition on Supporting Industries in HCMC, up to 53 Japanese companies expect to “purchase” parts and accessories in Vietnam and 50 Vietnamese companies expect to “provide” parts and accessories to potential buyers.

In the JETRO Exhibition, to be co-located with METALEX –NEPCON Vietnam, there will be over 100 companies mainly in automobile, motorcycle and electronics parts manufacturing industries. Half of them are Japanese companies in Vietnam and come directly from Japan, while the other half are local joint ventures. This is the chance for companies to find the right machinery and solutions for their production upgrade, sourcing new subcontractors, selling their parts to 53 Japanese buyers and manufacturers and more, becoming representative of global brands, learning new knowledge in seminars & Technology presentation…
