The WTC Binh Duong New City Expo (WTC Expo), launching on August 8, 2022, is a promising new facility within the MICE community in Southeast-Asia, and acts as an ideal platform for some of the largest trade shows, exhibitions, and events.
A promising
new exhibition facility is gaining momentum as an emerging MICE business destination
in Southeast-Asia. The WTC Expo was established at the core of Vietnam’s first
World Trade Complex, a 165,000 sqm area in Binh Duong province with modern
infrastructure and good connectivity to the surrounding region. The complex has
plans for the development of many residential and commercial buildings,
multi-purpose stadiums, shopping malls, and a metro station connecting to Ho
Chi Minh City. The WTC Expo is a column-free facility specializing in hosting
MICE-related events. It has a total construction area of 22,000sqm, including
an indoor exhibition area of 11,617 sqm consisting of 3 halls.
Although Vietnam has recorded the world’s highest economic growth, it has been evaluated as lacking in areas related for facilities for international MICE events. Accordingly, the WTC Expo is expected to solve the issues related to the supply shortage of exhibition facilities and will become a driving force for a new leap forward in Vietnam’s MICE industry. Binh Duong Province is an economic powerhouse located in the southern key economic region of Vietnam. The economic powerhouse has more than 4,000 FDI projects invested in the province with a total investment capital of nearly US$40 billion and recording the highest per-capita monthly income in Vietnam with a figure of over 7,120,000 VND in 2021. It is because Binh Duong province has been developed based on the concept of an “innovation region”, encompassing residential complexes, universities, hospitals, and other social infrastructure, along with more than 30 large-scale industrial parks.
In Vietnam,
there is a MICE business entry barrier for overseas organizers as they need to
be involved in
complicated administrative procedures when applying for exhibition licenses. However,
now with the introduction of WTC Binh Duong New City, the process is easier as they
provide a one-stop service for overseas organizers to host their events at the
WTC Expo.
They provide supporting services in administrative procedures and market research through cooperating with relevant government agencies when overseas organizers wish to host their show at the WTC Expo. They also have partnerships with overseas organizers that wish to expand their impact to Vietnam, but do not have a sales department or agency in Vietnam. This partnership helps support organizers’ local sales activities and on-site exhibition operations and minimizes the risk of holding exhibitions for overseas organizers.

In the event world, it’s simply part of life if things don’t work out as planned.
Networking typically happens at real, in-person events. But it’s also possible to do it online; it just works a little differently. There are various options available to organisers.
New products and a well-conceived stand design are not the only drivers for a successful presence. Many other factors are also important, but trade fair planners often lose sight of them.
Trade fairs and trade fair companies need to constantly further develop, become more agile and flexible and offer services all year round. New, digital offerings are very important here. With its TrustedTargeting technology, Messe München offers its customers access to leading business-to-business decision-makers on the Internet.
