The trip, organised by the French Trade Commission in Vietnam (UBIFRANCE), will enable the French businesses to improve their understanding of Vietnam’s policies and business opportunities through meetings with the Ministry of Industry and Trade, and the Plastics, Rubber and Packing Association. 

Visits to industrial sites are also planned throughout the country, including a plant operated by the French group Arkema, near Ho Chi Minh City. 

These companies are expected to offer advanced technologies and services to prospective Vietnamese partners with more than 50 business meetings already scheduled. This will help develop sustainable commercial, industrial and technological partnerships. 

They will have more opportunities to make new contacts during their visit to Vietnam’s 2012 Plastics & Rubber Exhibition and the 2012 International Processing, Filling and Packaging Exhibition with 210 exhibitors and 7,000 visitors.
