HÀ NỘI — The Hà Nội Technology Exchange Platform (Phase 2) will be constructed covering portions of the first and second floors (podium section) and the 16th floor (high-rise section) of the Frequent Trading and Interagency Centre.

The project, at 258 Võ Chí Công, Xuân La Ward, Tây Hồ District, aims to create an intermediary organisation that connects partners, provides information, facilitates technology transfer and supports businesses in exploring collaboration opportunities in science and technology.

The technology exchange will operate in two formats: a physical (offline) and an online exchange.

The physical exchange will include reception areas, technology exhibition zones, conference rooms and office spaces. Meanwhile, the online exchange will function as an e-commerce platform dedicated to technology and equipment, serving as a foundation for consulting, brokerage, workshops and technology promotion activities.

Additionally, it will feature a comprehensive database of exchange members, industry news, market trends and electronic tools to facilitate real-time transactions via a high-speed Internet network.

The online technology exchange portal will be designed as a B2B (Business-to-Business) e-commerce platform, connecting technology suppliers and demand-driven enterprises. The IT infrastructure will include servers, network equipment, software solutions, and data management systems, ensuring seamless transactions within the technology exchange ecosystem.

The project has a total investment of VNĐ52.6 billion (US$2 million). The exchange is scheduled for completion this year, with funding sourced from the Hà Nội municipal budget. — VNS
