The 33rd International Trade Fair Vietnam Expo 2024, which opened on April 3 at the Hanoi International Exhibition Center (ICE), is now closing its doors. Items displayed at the Made in Moscow stand brought together the achievements of 14 Moscow companies from various industries.

Moscow is the leader in exports among Russian regions, and Vietnam is a crucial market for businesses, said Mr. Vitaly Stepanov, CEO of the Moscow Export Center.

“The Moscow Export Center has been deploying a wide range of tools to strengthen business ties with Vietnam,” he said. “With facilitation from the Moscow Export Center, 100+ businesses have already taken part in negotiations with partners from Vietnam, and the opening of the Made in Moscow stand at Vietnam Expo has marked yet another milestone in this direction.”

“Moreover, an ambassador for exporters of Moscow has commenced operations in Vietnam recently. Representatives of Moscow business in other countries help search for proper contacts, personally support deals, and accelerate the export path for Moscow companies.”

Many exhibitors at the Moscow stand are renowned far beyond Russia. The list of veteran exporters include Intron Plus, the manufacturer of NDT equipment. The company’s sales geography covers nearly all continents and encompasses China, the US, India, Indonesia, Peru, South Korea, the UAE, the UK, Finland, Namibia, Brazil, Türkiye, Thailand, Malaysia, Serbia, Australia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, and Venezuela.

Global demand for confectionery products from the Confectionery Factory Pobeda is likewise impressive. Its products are familiar among consumers in countries such as Yemen, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Iran, Israel, Bulgaria, the US, Germany, China, the Philippines, Cuba, and the CIS.

The Made in Moscow stand has display areas from manufacturers of equipment and electronics. personal protective equipment from NPK Pozhkhimzashchita, laboratory and medical equipment from Inpren, solutions from biotechnology company Algimed Techno, and relay protection and automation systems from Tekvel in electric power industry facilities.

Another participant at the stand is the manufacturer of Faier-Mark fire barriers, which supplies products to Türkiye, Egypt, Suriname, Angola, Bangladesh, and Tanzania.

Sputnix, the private space company of the Sytronics JSC, has presented mock-up models of 3U CubeSat AIS and Orbicraft 3D, a nanosatellite kit. The first is a mock-up model of spacecraft for AIS, which is a system for the automatic identification of vessels, determining their dimensions, course, and other data.

AIS ensures security of private yachts and small craft, but is also used in other types of transport such as railways or freight in the regions where ground communications are absent or hampered. The OrbiCraft kit, meanwhile, is applied to teach the basics of programming and design to school, college, and university students and helps them practice spacecraft assembly.

Sputnix has been exporting products to Belarus, Malaysia, Nigeria, Montenegro, and Kazakhstan. Through its presence at the Vietnam Expo trade fair, the company has outlined its intention to gain a strong foothold in the Vietnamese market.

IT solutions from Moscow companies traditionally enjoy demand abroad. The stand also offered Loymax solutions, a platform for the management of loyalty programs and the automation of marketing communications for chain retailing, engineered by Loymax.
