VWAS - VIETNAM WAREHOUSING & AUTOMATION SHOW - HANOI 2026

VWAS 2026: Vietnam Warehousing & Automation Show – Pioneering Smart Logistics in Hanoi
Scheduled for October 28–30, 2026, at the Hanoi International Exhibition Center (I.C.E), the Vietnam Warehousing & Automation Show (VWAS) will emerge as Southeast Asia’s premier platform for logistics innovation. As Vietnam’s economy accelerates—driven by manufacturing exports, e-commerce, and foreign direct investment—VWAS 2026 will address critical needs in warehousing efficiency, supply chain resilience, and automation adoption, positioning Vietnam as a regional logistics hub.

Why VWAS Matters
Vietnam’s warehousing sector is projected to grow at 8.5% annually through 2030, fueled by its role in global supply chains. However, challenges like labor shortages, rising operational costs, and outdated infrastructure persist.
