The Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee has issued a plan to  support the development of businesses and products within the mechanical engineering and automation sector.

As one of the city’s key supporting industries, the move is aimed at driving modernization and fueling urban economic growth.

The plan sets out several specific targets, including organizing at least two conferences to provide guidance on interest rate subsidy loans, with the goal of helping at least two businesses access preferential capital.

Additionally, the city will implement five to ten human resource training courses and organize one to three trade promotion events dedicated to the sector. These targets focus not only on financial support but also on enhancing the quality of the workforce and expanding market reach for mechanical and automation products.

A highlight of the plan is the development of a catalog of "key and potential industrial products" for the 2026–2030 period. Priority will be given to sectors such as precision mechanics, industrial robotics, and automation equipment.

The city also emphasizes the development of high-quality human resources through specialized training and corporate partnerships, alongside upgrading training facilities to meet international standards. These essential steps are designed to ensure that the city's mechanical and automation industries remain competitive in the global market.

Trade promotion activities will also be ramped up through domestic and international fairs and exhibitions to connect local businesses with Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) partners and assist in brand building. The city expects to host at least one large-scale exhibition and one supply-demand matching conference within the year. These events will serve as vital platforms for businesses to showcase their products and seek out strategic partners.
