Property, architecture expo to open in HCM City

As the second Vietbuild held in the city this year, the expo will have more than 2,500 booths, slightly more than last year, set up by over 900 local and foreign companies.

According to the organisers, 288 of the exhibitors are local firms, 126 are joint ventures and the rest are foreign from 27 countries and territories, including the US, Russia, France, Australia, Italy, Denmark, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, China and Thailand.

They will showcase property projects, electrical equipment, doors and accessories, internal and external decorative items, building materials, solar energy systems, measuring equipment used in the construction sector, and others.

Speaking at a recent press conference to introduce the exhibition in HCM City, Nguyen Tran Nam, a former deputy construction minister and head of the exhibition organising board, said exhibitors have done research to come up with products with new designs and environment-friendly and higher-quality products to meet the increasing demand for housing construction and interior and exterior decoration.

The expo would be a good forum for local and international businesses to meet and explore business opportunities, he said.

Conferences and business meetings will be organised on the sidelines of the expo at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Centre in district 7.
