A workshop was held in Ho Chi Minh City on August 18 to promote technology connectivity and transfer between Vietnam and the Republic of Korea (RoK).

It aims to connect technology supply and demand between the two sides as well as to introduce advanced technology that RoK companies can transfer to or cooperate with their Vietnamese partners.

Hong Chang Woo, Executive Director of Innobiz – the RoK’s innovation business association, said two countries’ enterprises want to seek new markets and new technologies to develop in the realms of mechanical manufacturing, electricity-electronics, automobile components, automation and energy saving. As the RoK side has strength in technology, they can partner with Vietnamese firms to grow together.

Over the last couple of years, the Vietnam’s Technology Application and Development Department under the Ministry of Science and Technology and Innobiz have surveyed the technology-related demand of nearly 300 small- and medium-sized Vietnamese companies in such fields as agriculture, energy, environment and mechanical manufacturing.

They have connected nearly 400 Vietnamese enterprises with 96 RoK businesses to cooperate and transfer technology.
