Vietnam event to run for a second time in 2025
Events organiser Messe Frankfurt has announced that it will run its Vietnam International Trade Fair for Apparel, Textiles and Textile Technologies (VIATT) again next year.
The second edition of the exhibition will take place in Ho Chi Minh City from February 26-28, 2025, with the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC) as the venue.
On announcing the dates for the show, Messe Frankfurt quoted figures from Vietnam that put the country’s textile and garment exports in the first four months of 2024 at more than $10 billion, which indicates growth of 6.3% compared to the same months last year.
Messe Frankfurt’s general manager in Hong Kong, Wilmet Shea, said: “With Vietnam’s business environment on the upswing, we are excited about VIATT 2025’s potential to serve as an effective, on-trend platform for harnessing and supplementing the renewed growth of the country’s textile industry, across multiple sub-sectors.”
There were 409 exhibitors at the inaugural edition of VIATT, which took place from February 28 to March 1 this year. A total of 17,262 visitors from 55 countries attended.
