Advanced manufacturing is changing how firms design products, organise plants and join value chains. The challenge is turning technology into productivity and a competitive advantage that can scale.

Session context

The session analyses how advanced manufacturing technologies are reshaping the competitiveness of Vietnamese firms. From automation, data and connected plants to quality, design and supplier development, it focuses on a transformation path that fits each group of enterprises. Speakers are expected to discuss technology gaps, capital, standards, skills and the link between domestic firms and lead firms in global chains, and the conditions that help firms move up and create more value.

Guiding questions

  1. Which capabilities should Vietnamese firms prioritise on the advanced-manufacturing path?
  2. How does technology investment produce productivity rather than only higher cost?
  3. What mechanisms help domestic firms go deeper into global supplier networks?
