The fourth analytica Vietnam, the International Trade Fair for Laboratory Technology, Analysis, Biotechnology and Diagnostics, came to a successful close in mid April at the Saigon Exhibition & Convention Centre in Ho Chi Minh City. The response of exhibitors and visitors confirms that analytica Vietnam is an important industry platform in Southeast Asia and a gateway to several growing markets.

3,523 trade visitors attended analytica Vietnam to gather information about the latest industry developments. Exhibitors specifically emphasised the visitors’ concrete interest and professionalism. Further, the demand for the analytica Vietnam conference again was strong: A total of 252 participants took advantage of the extensive program of supporting events. International experts from the scientific and research communities gave insights into the latest developments and practice-oriented solutions in the sectors for food analysis and safety, pharmaceuticals and medical diagnostics, environmental analysis and quality optimisation as well as chromatography and mass spectroscopy.

Industry leaders such as Brand, Merck Millipore, Shimadzu, Saigon Instruments and Waters showcased their products and solutions in Hall A1 of the Saigon Exhibition & Convention Centre (SECC) on some 3,500m2 of exhibition space. A total of 95 exhibitors from 15 countries participated. Approximately 80% of the exhibiting companies were from countries other than Vietnam.

Jamie Tan from Showa Denko Singapore summarises the overall meaning of the trade fair as follows: “analytica Vietnam is the largest exhibition of its kind in Vietnam and with regard to the rapidly growing market in the country, it is extremely important for us to be present here.”

The next analytica Vietnam takes place in the spring of 2017 in Ho Chi Minh City. Further information is available at www.analytica-vietnam.com.
