HCM CITY — The 2024 Green Growth Show (GRECO 2024) opened in HCM City on September 21, providing an opportunity for businesses to promote their green products and services, and an effective forum for local and international companies to connect and explore possibilities for tie-ups.

GRECO 2024, held on an area of 10,000sq.m, has attracted over 200 local and foreign exhibitors with around 300 booths, displaying nearly 8,000 products and solutions that drive green growth.

According to the Investment and Trade Promotion Centre of HCM City (ITPC), one of the exhibition’s organisers, this year's event has a bigger scale than the inaugural edition in 2023 and focuses on sectors such as high-tech, supporting industries, and achievements of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

The show offers businesses a chance to showcase their latest products and technologies in fields such as high-tech, semiconductor, and artificial intelligence, ITPC said.

Among the highlights of GRECO 2024 is the "Techmart" area that features green technology, renewable energy, and environmental solutions for industrial transformation.

Speaking at the opening ceremony, Võ Văn Hoan, vice chairman of the HCM City People's Committee, said that the exhibition would support enterprises, especially small and medium-sized ones, to introduce their green products and services and connect with leading domestic and international companies towards building a green production ecosystem.

The exhibition also seeks to raise public awareness about the circular economy.

He highlighted that the city had approved a green growth strategy towards sustainable development by 2030, to transform the city into a green, smart, and sustainable city.
