InnoEx 2026 convenes international corporate leaders, investors, tech pioneers, and policy shapers to help define the upcoming phase of enterprise development.
An ecosystem must exist where companies of every scale can join forces and generate mutual value. InnoEx is the place where such links evolve into substantive results.”— Ms. Truong Ly Hoang Phi, Chairwoman of InnoEx & IBPSAI GON WARD, HO CHI MINH CITY, VIETNAM, July 14, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The Announcement Day of InnoEx 2026 – Southeast Asia’s Premier Innovation Forum & Exhibition drew over 100 distinguished attendees, among them corporate executives, investment firms, global tech giants, media representatives, and innovation ecosystem collaborators from both Vietnam and overseas.
At the gathering, the Organizing Committee formally revealed this year’s theme: “THE INFLECTION POINT – Where Global Shifts Fuel Business Reinvention.” This theme speaks to a decisive moment where artificial intelligence, data, sustainable growth, and worldwide supply chain reconfiguration are transforming the competitive environment and generating fresh sources of corporate advantage.
Set to take place on 19–20 August 2026 at Thiskyhall Sala, Ho Chi Minh City, InnoEx 2026 anticipates more than 30,000 visitors, over 4,000 C-level executives and industry leaders, upwards of 300 exhibitors, and more than 70 investment funds representing nearly 60 countries and territories.
Since its debut in 2023, InnoEx has evolved steadily from a domestic innovation forum into one of Southeast Asia’s most rapidly expanding innovation platforms.
Co-organized by the Ho Chi Minh City Young Business Association (YBA HCM), the International Innovation Alliance InnoEx, and Investment Promotion & Business Support JSC (IBP), the platform operates under the official auspices of the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee and with backing from Vietnam’s Ministry of Science and Technology, the National Data Association, various government departments, agencies, and numerous international partners.
Over the past three years, InnoEx has linked thousands of corporations, startups, investors, research bodies, tech firms, and ecosystem organizations worldwide. Beyond being a single annual gathering, InnoEx has matured into a global innovation platform where enterprises, investors, policymakers, and creators collaborate to speed up business growth, cross-border ventures, technology adoption, and investment prospects throughout Southeast Asia.

Artificial intelligence is overhauling entire sectors. Environmental regulations are reworking global supply chains. Data is becoming a vital corporate asset. Capital is more and more flowing toward innovation-driven enterprises capable of swift adaptation. For businesses active across Asia, these structural changes bring both extraordinary difficulties and major openings. For Vietnam — a nation increasingly acknowledged as one of Asia’s fastest-growing innovation economies — this juncture offers a chance not only to take part in global transformation but also to help steer it.
“We need an ecosystem where every enterprise – from large corporations to technology startups – can find opportunities to collaborate and create shared value. InnoEx serves as the meeting point where those opportunities are connected, amplified, and transformed into meaningful impact. In 2026, this is no longer the time to observe trends; it is the time for businesses to reinvent themselves.” said Ms. Truong Ly Hoang Phi, Chairwoman of InnoEx & IBP, Vice President of YBA HCM, and Head of the InnoEx 2026 Organizing Committee.

A key milestone for InnoEx 2026 is the sustained growth of its international partner network. Alongside enduring strategic allies such as Qualcomm, AB InBev, and Grab for Business, this year’s platform welcomes participation from globally acknowledged entities including Lotte Ventures, Rabo Foundation, and NIPA (National IT Industry Promotion Agency of Korea), together with innovation agencies, venture capital firms, corporations, and ecosystem builders from South Korea, Japan, Singapore, Europe, and other international markets. The growing involvement of global organizations underscores Vietnam’s rising significance as a regional hub for innovation, advanced manufacturing, digital transformation, and sustainable business growth.
One of the most notable new additions this year is Rabo Foundation, the independent impact investment foundation launched by Rabobank, a top global financial institution in food and agriculture. Through the Green Innovation Accelerator, jointly developed under the Green Innovation Fellowship, Vietnamese agribusinesses will gain access to international sustainability criteria, worldwide expert networks, and green financing possibilities — helping local firms strengthen their foothold in future global value chains.
As a long-standing strategic partner, Qualcomm persists in backing Vietnam’s innovation ecosystem. Ms. Nguyen Thanh Thao, Staff Manager, Business Development at Qualcomm, stated: “At Qualcomm, we believe technology creates real impact only when it is nurtured within an open and collaborative ecosystem. That is why we have continued partnering with InnoEx over the years. More than an event, InnoEx has become a platform connecting enterprises, startups, universities, investors, and policymakers to jointly advance innovation. Qualcomm remains committed to investing in high-quality talent development, research and development, and empowering Vietnamese enterprises and startups with access to cutting-edge technologies, enabling them to build globally competitive solutions. We believe that by strengthening the entire innovation ecosystem, Vietnam has a unique opportunity to emerge as a regional innovation and technology hub.”

In contrast to conventional tech expos, InnoEx concentrates on generating measurable business results via executive discussions, investment matchmaking, technology alliances, and international trade collaboration. Over two days, the agenda will include the Business Innovation Forum – “The Advantage Reset: Reinvent or Defend?”, the Innovation Sector Forum, and the Green Innovation Summit, exploring AI adoption, operational excellence, enterprise transformation, and sustainability through executive dialogue and real-world business case studies.
Beyond thought leadership, InnoEx 2026 will showcase more than 300 exhibitors across AI, enterprise technology, fintech, digital healthcare, advanced manufacturing, robotics, climate technology, and smart industries. Over 130 startups, chosen from more than 3,000 annual applications, will present their innovations through Startup Wheel, the Qualcomm Vietnam Innovation Challenge, and the Green Innovation Accelerator. On the international collaboration front, the International Trade Promotion Forum will act as a gateway linking more than 100 Vietnamese and international enterprises via 14 business-focused presentation sessions, fostering cross-border partnerships and market expansion opportunities.
Collectively, these initiatives reinforce InnoEx’s mission of connecting Vietnamese enterprises with the world’s leading innovation ecosystems — helping businesses not only respond to change but also build the capabilities required to lead in the next era of global competition.
