Many large-scale enterprises, with modern technology services in the logistics field, were present at the Vietnam International Logistics Exhibition 2025 which just opened in Ho Chi Minh City.
TTC Logistics is one of the enterprises participating in the event with a large number of visitors at the exhibition booth
The 3rd Vietnam International Logistics Exhibition (VILOG 2025) was organized under the direction of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Vietnam, which was opened on July 31 and lasted until August 2 at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC) (Tan My Ward, Ho Chi Minh City).
With the theme "Digital Transformation - Green Development of Logistics Industry", VILOG 2025 focuses on the power of digital solutions and cooperation in promoting a more sustainable and efficient logistics industry.
The world has brought AI to logistics
To support the search for advanced solutions and establish a business connection network, VILOG 2025 focuses on displaying breakthrough advances in automation, artificial intelligence, IoT-based supply chains, and environmentally friendly transportation solutions. The event is also a venue for dialogues on policies and best practices to promote the green transition.
Mr. Tran Thanh Hai - Deputy Director of the Import-Export Department (Ministry of Industry and Trade) - said that the world is changing very quickly, especially the impact of artificial intelligence on all aspects of life, including the logistics service industry, will be huge.
Vietnam's logistics industry needs to quickly transform, seize opportunities, and resolve challenges to move faster and stronger towards professionalization and modernization. VILOG 2025 Exhibition therefore focuses on the power of digital solutions and cooperation in promoting a more sustainable and efficient industry.
In recent years, Vietnam's logistics industry has made remarkable progress. With an average growth rate of over 14-16%/year, contributing about 4-5% of GDP, logistics is not only a supporting service industry but also gradually becoming an important pillar in the domestic and international production - distribution - consumption value chain.
Vietnam currently ranks 2nd in ASEAN and is in the top 5 countries in terms of logistics development index in the Asia - Pacific region.
However, Mr. Tran Thanh Hai acknowledged that logistics costs in Vietnam are still high compared to the regional average, fluctuating at 15-16% of GDP. Meanwhile, the competitiveness of enterprises is still scattered, the scale of investment is still fragmented and the connection between forms of logistics services is not tight. The application of new technology, green logistics, and smart logistics is still in the early stages.
VILOG 2025 has welcomed the participation and cooperation of many global logistics promotion organizations and associations. In addition, there are many representative brands from Nippon Express, Vietnam Post, Tan Cang Saigon, Transimex, Bee Logistics, QV Trans, Isuzu, Ratraco, TTC (Thanh Thanh Cong), Transit LLC, MCC World, Tradelinks, 1UP Cargo, WR1, DTK, TCMS, Ahamove, Konoike Vinatrans, OPL, Bac Giang International Logistics Center, CMU Logistics, ... will be an opportunity for domestic enterprises to connect and update new trends.
Increasing connections for enterprises
Ms. Ngo Thi Thanh Vy - Deputy General Director of Long An International Port - said that this is the second year that the port has accompanied the VILOG Exhibition. And this year's theme is very interesting, attracting the attention of domestic and foreign enterprises and partners, not only Long An International Port.
"For Long An International Port, we want to expand connections with domestic and foreign partners, from cargo owners, shipping lines to transportation, warehouses, technology units... to develop a comprehensive logistics ecosystem.
At the same time, affirming its position as a modern, multi-functional transit center in the region, connecting the Mekong Delta, Ho Chi Minh City and the Southeast, where it can provide solutions from seaports - warehouses - transportation - value-added services in a synchronous and comprehensive manner. In addition, this is also an opportunity for the port to listen to market needs to continue to improve services and aim for larger goals such as digital transformation, green logistics and sustainable development", said Ms. Vy.
