On January 30, 2026, the Ho Chi Minh City Computer Association (HCA) and Informa Markets — one of the world’s leading exhibition organizers — held a working session to explore strategic cooperation opportunities. The meeting is expected to create new momentum for Vietnam’s technology and infrastructure communities in the coming years.
During the discussion, both sides explored ways to support each other’s flagship events. The core focus of the partnership is to connect the digital technology ecosystem of iTECH EXPO (organized by HCA) with the advanced energy and technical infrastructure platforms presented at exhibitions organized by Informa Markets.
iTECH EXPO – A Hub for the Digital Technology Ecosystem
Representatives from HCA shared the development vision of iTECH EXPO – Vietnam’s leading International Technology Forum and Exhibition. The event showcases cutting-edge technology solutions, from artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things to comprehensive digital transformation.
iTECH EXPO is not only a platform for introducing new technologies but also an important bridge enabling IT enterprises, both domestic and international, to expand partnerships, access markets, and stay updated with digital transformation trends.
Informa Markets Introduces Large-Scale Infrastructure Exhibitions
On the Informa Markets side, the organizer introduced a series of specialized exhibitions scheduled for November this year. A key highlight is The International Event on Data Center & Cloud Technologies in Vietnam.
This event will be held alongside two major exhibitions:
- Vietnam Energy Week: A leading platform for renewable energy and energy management
- HVACR Vietnam: An international exhibition on heating, ventilation, air conditioning, air filtration, and refrigeration systems in Vietnam
This combination reflects a growing trend where digital infrastructure development is increasingly linked with energy solutions and sustainable operational technologies.
Strategic Cooperation Between Digital Technology and Energy Infrastructure
Both organizations recognized the strong convergence between the rapid growth of data centers and the need for advanced power infrastructure, cooling solutions, and energy management systems. This synergy forms the foundation for expanded cooperation between HCA and Informa Markets across multiple areas.
Joint Communication and Promotion
Both parties will strengthen promotional activities to enhance brand visibility for iTECH EXPO and Informa Markets’ exhibitions across their respective partner networks.
B2B Business Matching
HCA member companies will gain opportunities to connect with leading global providers of energy and technical infrastructure solutions. At the same time, international exhibitors will have greater access to Vietnam’s technology enterprise community.
Specialized Industry Activities
The two sides also plan to co-organize in-depth seminars on data centers and green digital transformation, combining HCA’s technological expertise with Informa Markets’ experience in organizing large-scale international exhibitions.
Advancing a Sustainable Digital and Energy Infrastructure Ecosystem
The partnership between HCA and Informa Markets opens new development opportunities for technology and infrastructure exhibitions, while also contributing to the sustainable growth of Vietnam’s digital and energy infrastructure sectors.
By linking digital technologies with advanced energy and technical infrastructure systems, the collaboration helps Vietnamese enterprises integrate more deeply into global value chains and keep pace with worldwide development trends in the digital era.
