HCM CITY — The third Viet Nam International Logistics Exhibition (VILOG 2025) will be held from July 31 to August 2, at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC) in HCM City under the theme "Digital Transformation and Partnership for Green Logistics".

The event aims to highlight the vital role of digital solutions and strategic partnerships in fostering a greener, more efficient logistics sector.

As Việt Nam increasingly positions itself as a logistics hub in Asia and the Pacific, the logistics industry faces growing pressures from international regulations and integration policies. New-generation free trade agreements necessitate that Vietnamese enterprises elevate their standards and reduce carbon emissions, paving the way for sustainable supply chain development.

The integration of technology and enhanced cooperation are essential for achieving these goals. Digital transformation not only boosts operational efficiency but also mitigates environmental impact and strengthens partnerships across the supply chain.

VILOG 2025 will showcase groundbreaking advancements in automation, artificial intelligence, IoT-driven supply chains and eco-friendly transport solutions. The event will also facilitate discussions on policy frameworks and best practices to accelerate the green transition in logistics.

Trần Thanh Hải, deputy director general of the Agency of Foreign Trade, emphasised the exhibition's role as a gathering point for logistics enterprises to collaborate towards a sustainable future.

This year, nearly 350 enterprises from 20 countries and territories will participate, occupying 480 exhibition booths. Notable global logistics organisations, such as the World Cargo Alliance and the China International Freight Forwarders Association, will also be present.

Major brands like Nippon Express, Vietnam Post and Isuzu will showcase their latest products and services, highlighting advancements in machinery, equipment and warehouse management technology.

Beyond the exhibition, VILOG 2025 will host a series of specialised seminars addressing pressing issues in the logistics industry. Topics include "Financial Mechanism to Promote Green Logistics Development" and "Green & Digital Logistics – Current Trends and Solutions." These sessions will provide valuable insights into current market conditions, financial solutions for sustainable development and the impact of digitalization on logistics.

A new highlight of this year’s event is VILOG Talk, a forum for exhibitors to present their services and share insights on key industry challenges. Additionally, a 1:1 Business Matching Program will connect industry businesses with cargo owners, fostering collaboration and optimal logistics solutions.

Organised under the direction of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Vietnam, with support from the Agency of Foreign Trade, VILOG 2025 is co-organised by the Vietnam Logistics Business Association (VLA) and VINEXAD Company.

The exhibition anticipates welcoming over 10,000 visitors over the three days. ​— VNS
