A wide range of products and services related to real estate, architecture and interior and exterior decoration will be showcased at the Vietbuild International Exhibition to be held in HCM City from September 26 to 30.

The second Vietbuild to be held in the city this year will have more than 2,500 booths, slightly more than last year, set up by over 900 local and foreign companies.

According to the organisers, 288 of the exhibitors are local firms, 126 are joint ventures and the rest are foreign from 27 countries and territories, including the US, Russia, France, Australia, Italy, Denmark, Korea, Singapore, China and Thailand.

They will showcase property projects, electrical equipment, doors and accessories, internal and external decorative items, building materials, solar energy systems, measuring equipment used in the construction sector, and others.

Speaking at a press conference to introduce the exhibition in HCM City last week, Nguyen Tran Nam, a former deputy construction minister and head of the exhibition organising board, said exhibitors have done research to come up with products with new designs and environment-friendly and higher-quality products to meet the increasing demand for housing construction and interior and exterior decoration.

The expo would be a good forum for local and international businesses to meet and explore business opportunities, he said.

Conferences and business meetings will be held on its sidelines.

The expo will be held at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Centre in District 7. — VNS
