The International Forum and Exhibition on Innovation (InnoEx) 2026 is scheduled to take place in Ho Chi Minh City on August 19-2, highlighting emerging technology trends, new growth strategies and investment opportunities for businesses, according to the event's organizers.

Amid rapid advances in emerging technologies, particularly artificial intelligence (AI), that are reshaping the way businesses operate, InnoEx 2026 will focus on solutions for renewing growth models, accelerating technology adoption and strengthening connections between enterprises, investors and innovation partners.

According to the organisers, InnoEx 2026 is expected to attract more than 30,000 participants, bringing together enterprises, investment funds, technology corporations, startups and innovation organisations from over 60 countries and territories.

This year’s forum will feature international partners including Qualcomm, Lotte Ventures, Rabo Foundation, NIPA, AB InBev and Grab for Business, along with innovation ecosystems from South Korea, Singapore, Japan and Europe.

In addition to policy and business forums, the event will host an exhibition spanning 7,000 square metres with around 300 exhibitors, ranging from multinational corporations to high-potential startups. Key sectors will include AI and digital technologies, green technology, fintech and digital healthcare.

A major highlight of this year’s event is the Green Innovation Fellowship, an initiative designed to connect businesses, startups and international organisations to promote green growth as a new competitive advantage for Vietnamese enterprises.
