Under the direction of the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee, the Investment and Trade Promotion Centre of Ho Chi Minh City (ITPC), in coordination with the Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC C4IR), the Department of Culture and Sports, and relevant agencies, is organizing the 4th Ho Chi Minh City Green Growth Products and Services Showcase 2026 (GRECO 2026). The event takes place within the framework of the Autumn Economic Forum 2026 (AEF 2026), running for four consecutive days from October 26 to October 29, 2026, along Nguyen Hue Walking Street, Saigon Ward, Ho Chi Minh City.

Aligning closely with the overarching theme of AEF 2026, “Collaboration in a New Era,” GRECO 2026 is positioned not merely as a consumer fair, but as an integrated exhibition ecosystem and strategic trade and investment promotion initiative directly linked to the city’s green transition, digital transformation, scientific and technological advancement, and innovation agenda.

By showcasing core technologies, advanced solutions, and sustainable development models from both Vietnam and across the globe, GRECO 2026 provides a platform for direct engagement between the business community—particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and innovative startups—and leading experts, scientists, investors, research institutes, and universities. The initiative supports enterprises in enhancing productivity, optimizing resources, commercializing research outcomes, and progressively shifting production toward green and circular economic models, while fostering a sustainable consumption culture within the community.

Spanning a total area of approximately 11,000 m², with the participation of more than 70 domestic and international organizations and enterprises across an exhibition scale equivalent to 190 standard booths, GRECO 2026 is projected to welcome around 100,000 visitors. The exhibition space is structured into four primary zones: High-Tech Exhibition Zone – Convergence & Diffusion:Showcasing foundational technologies, including Artificial Intelligence (AI), semiconductor integrated circuits (ICs), the low-altitude economy, automation, robotics, 3D printing, and advanced materials., giới thiệu các công nghệ nền tảng như trí tuệ nhân tạo, vi mạch bán dẫn, kinh tế tầm thấp, tự động hóa, robot, in 3D và vật liệu mới; Green Urban Exhibition Zone:Presenting smart solutions across green transportation, renewable energy, environmental protection, and urban governance. Green Products Exhibition Zone:Featuring eco-friendly products, services, and business models operating on circular economy principles and ESG criteria, alongside an innovation space dedicated to research institutes, universities, and the startup community to accelerate the commercialization of scientific and technological research. Community Experience Zone:Enabling visitors to directly experience cutting-edge technologies and products, while taking part in interactive activities focused on sustainable consumption, carbon footprint reduction, and waste sorting at source.

Located along Nguyen Hue Street as an integral part of the AEF 2026 Collaboration Space, GRECO 2026 brings green growth technologies, products, and solutions closer to the general public. It offers a practical platform for local businesses, particularly SMEs and innovative startups, to connect with domestic and global partners, harness science, technology, and AI to elevate operational efficiency, optimize resource and energy consumption, and adapt to green transformation requirements. Simultaneously, it bridges the gap between enterprises, academic institutions, and research centers to bring scientific breakthroughs and patents into tangible commercial application.

The event gathers many prominent domestic institutions and enterprises, including Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City (VNU-HCM), Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry (IUH), the Management Board of Agricultural Hi-Tech Park (AHTP), Saigon Hi-Tech Park Research Laboratories (SHTP Labs), PetroVietnam Gas Joint Stock Corporation (PV GAS), Viettel Military Industry and Telecoms Group (Viettel), Nam A Commercial Joint Stock Bank (Nam A Bank), alongside green tech, energy, and environmental enterprises such as Alena Energy, Alta Plastic, BHT Group, Exabyte, AMF Technology, Vietnam Waste Solutions (VWS), Saigon Pure Water LLC (SAPUWA), Vietravel MICE, and more.

In addition, the showcase welcomes distinguished international brands and organizations, including Toyota Vietnam, Xiaomi Vietnam, Gree Vietnam, BBMG Corporation, the National IT Industry Promotion Agency of Korea (NIPA) and its KICC representative office, AIZEN Global, EMCT Inc., and OMODA. Their presence underscores GRECO’s expanding international reach while unlocking valuable avenues for Vietnamese businesses to adopt global benchmarks, state-of-the-art technologies, and international green trends.

A key highlight of GRECO 2026 is the 600 m² Robotics Technology Demonstration Space, organized by AICAP Group Joint Stock Company in partnership with AIBRAIN, AIROBO, and the China Robot Industry Development Alliance (CDRA), bringing together representatives from over 30 leading Chinese robotics and AI enterprises and research institutes. Here, visitors can witness humanoid robots from Unitree and AgiBot, the Xiao Pi robot, the ball-kicking K1 robot, quadruped (dog-like) robots, as well as autonomous delivery and cleaning robots. Attendees can also interact via voice recognition, challenge robots to chess matches, and enjoy barista-crafted coffee served by robotic arms. Notably, humanoid robots will deliver an opening dance performance choreographed to traditional Vietnamese music during the Opening Ceremony. Through these firsthand interactions, the public gains an intuitive perspective on how robotics can assist human workflows and what core skill sets will be essential to master technology in the digital era.

Alongside the exhibition showcases, the Opening Ceremony is scheduled to take place at 17:30 on October 26, 2026, at the main welcome gate. The ceremony will host approximately 100 distinguished delegates, including municipal leaders, representatives of governmental departments, AEF 2026 delegates, diplomatic corps, international organizations, participating exhibitors, and members of the press.

Throughout the four-day event, ITPC will coordinate a curated series of five in-depth seminars, panel discussions, and B2B business matching sessions connecting domestic and international enterprises. These sessions will focus on AI and digital technology adoption, green transition solutions across energy, urban development, and the environment, alongside international investment, innovation, and supply chain forums with partners from China, the Nordic countries, and Israel. These will be complemented by vibrant community engagement programs and scheduled cultural, artistic, and Vietnamese fashion showcases on the central stage.

GRECO 2026 is free and open to the public daily from 10:00 to 22:00 throughout its four-day run.
