A total of 151 Hangzhou enterprises departed for Vietnam on March 24 to attend the "Overseas Hangzhou" Vietnam Exhibition, scheduled to run from March 27 to 29 in Ho Chi Minh City.

This marks the first overseas exhibition organized by "Overseas Hangzhou" this year.

Hosted by the Hangzhou municipal government, the exhibition covers an area of 12,000 square meters, making it the largest independently-organized exhibition held by China in Vietnam.

A total of 475 companies from 13 provinces and three municipalities will participate, representing industries including textiles and garments, household gifts, home appliances, building materials, power and new energy, consumer electronics, and industrial machinery. Over 20,000 buyers have already registered and made appointments through online platforms.

Zhejiang AiBESS Technology Co, a provider of zero-carbon energy products and services, will launch its first independently-developed pure DC outdoor power supply during the exhibition. Tonglu Yishan Import and Export Co, specializing in garment manufacturing, has launched a series of functional fabric products and prepared a large number of new products for the exhibition, hoping to receive more orders.

Previously, Hangzhou announced 10 service measures to support enterprises in expanding their international market presence, including supporting participation in international exhibitions, encouraging overseas business negotiations, and facilitating entry and exit document processing.

This year, Hangzhou will organize more than 150 outbound delegations, participate in over 100 overseas exhibitions, and assist over 3,000 foreign trade companies in participating in overseas exhibitions. It will also host "Overseas Hangzhou" exhibitions in countries including Japan, the United States, Germany, Poland, the United Arab Emirates, Brazil, South Africa, Mexico, and Indonesia.
