The ITEX 2010 is showcasing 673 new products in 24 areas developed by scientists from various countries and territories, including Malaysia, Vietnam, Russia, Iran, the Republic of Korea, Thailand, Taiwan and Hong Kong.

Among the products, clay bricks and tiles by the Viglacera Ha Long company of Vietnam drew a great deal of attention for their production lines using carbon capture and storage technology, and therefore saving energy, protecting the environment and reducing production costs.

The Sai Gon Packaging Joint Stock Company brought to the exposition new wrapping materials that are produced without Ethyl Acetate, a harmful solvent. The new technology is also more cost effective and friendly to the environment.

The fair also devotes space to many Vietnamese pharmaceutical products and robots made by two young Vietnamese students – Phan Van Mau and Phan Van Nam, who were born in 1992.

Le Duy Tien, Director of the Vietnam Fund for Scientific and Technological Creations (VIFOTEC), took the occasion to invite all ITEX participants this year to join the international exhibition on youth innovations 20010 (IEYI 2010) that is slated for December 15-18 in Hanoi.
