Participation

During the conference on 22.10.2024 in Ho Chi Minh City, you as a company headquartered in Germany will have the opportunity to present your products and services to an expert audience from Vietnam, consisting of representatives from business, politics and associations. On the following days, the AHK Vietnam organizes individual appointments for each company with local decision-makers and potential business partners. Their wishes are queried in advance with the help of a company questionnaire and then taken into account when selecting the meetings.

The registration deadline is 26.08.2024

Since 2018, participating companies have been required to pay a personal contribution for participation in energy business trips, depending on the size of the company. Please refer to the registration documents for more information. If the personal contribution is received by 29.07.2024, you will receive a discount (40%) on the net amount of the personal contribution for physical business trips. The personal contribution is waived for purely virtual energy business trips.

Information on the target market

Vietnam is an attractive market for self-consumption solar systems due to the country's high solar irradiation, increasing electricity demand and supportive government policies. According to statistics, the average solar radiation in Vietnam is about 5 kWh/m²/day in the central and southern provinces and about 4 kWh/m²/day in the northern provinces.

The Eighth Energy Development Plan (PDP8) for the period from 2021 to 2030, with a vision to 2050, was officially approved in May 2023. This plan sets out the goals and strategies for the country's energy supply and emphasizes the promotion of renewable energy, particularly solar and wind energy. The aim is to reduce dependence on coal and minimize the environmental impact.

Vietnam's solar energy potential is around 963,000 MW, divided into around 837,400 MW on open spaces, 77,400 MW on water surfaces and 48,200 MW on roofs. According to the PDP8, installed solar energy capacity is set to increase by a further 4,100 MW to 18.6 GW by 2030 and to 168.6 GW by 2050. A large proportion of this will be generated by self-consumption from PV.

The design of ecological industrial parks in Vietnam in accordance with PDP8 is a comparatively new, yet extremely promising project. This project aims to increase the energy efficiency, environmental friendliness and competitiveness of industrial zones. It also aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Such eco-industrial parks are areas where companies cooperatively use and optimize their resources, energy and waste resources in order to minimize environmental impact and increase productivity. Photovoltaic systems can be installed on the roofs or open spaces of industrial buildings or parks to meet companies' internal energy needs.

German companies have the opportunity to gain a competitive advantage in the Vietnamese market due to their long-standing expertise, technological competence and high quality standards in the field of photovoltaics. In addition, German companies can benefit from the existing trade and cooperation relations between Germany and Vietnam, which will be further strengthened by the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA).
