HANOI, Vietnam, Nov 6, 2026 — Dassault Systèmes hosted 3DEXPERIENCE Forum Vietnam 2026 on 4 November 2026 at the InterContinental Hanoi Landmark72 under the theme “Vietnam Supercharged: Industrial AI for the World’s Next Manufacturing Powerhouse”. Held in Vietnam for the first time, the forum explored how Industrial AI and Generative Virtual Twin can help Vietnamese enterprises move beyond assembly-led manufacturing toward higher-value design, engineering and innovation, while strengthening their competitiveness.

The event brought together over 700 government representatives, industry leaders, business representatives, technology experts, academics and ecosystem partners from Vietnam and across the region to discuss how Industrial AI, Generative Virtual Twins and smart manufacturing can drive innovation, optimize operations and enhance the competitiveness of Vietnamese businesses.

Through its 3DEXPERIENCE platform, Dassault Systèmes enables businesses to model and validate designs, products, manufacturing systems and operational processes in virtual environments before implementing them in the real world. By combining modeling, simulation, data and AI, businesses can address complex engineering challenges, accelerate product development and use resources more efficiently.

As Vietnam’s manufacturing sector moves toward higher-value activities, these technologies can help businesses strengthen manufacturing capabilities, develop engineering talent, improve efficiency and capture greater value across global supply chains.

Highlighting a shared commitment to Vietnam’s technological transformation, the event convened representatives from the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the National Innovation Center (NIC), and the Embassy of France. These dignitaries joined executives from Dassault Systèmes and prominent industry and academic leaders, including the Vietnam Association of Mechanical Industry (VAMI) and the Vietnam Aviation Academy (VAA), on stage. Discussions centered on nurturing local talent, scaling technological infrastructure, and fostering strategic global partnerships to elevate Vietnam’s national competitiveness. To cap off the session, NIC, Dassault Systèmes, and Vietnam Semiconductor Innovation Network jointly launched the Industrial Innovation and Smart Manufacturing in Vietnam Report.

The afternoon program featured three partner-led breakout sessions, alongside a Dassault Systèmes and customers track, “The Power of AI for Manufacturing Industries”. The track explored AI-driven product innovation and smart factory and supply chain operations, with customer perspectives from the National Research Institute of Mechanical Engineering and KP Aerospace Vietnam.

Strengthening Long-Term Collaboration in Vietnam

Dassault Systèmes continues to work with businesses, partners and educational institutions in Vietnam to support the country’s digital transformation and industrial modernization. In January 2026, the company inaugurated the Center of Excellence for Virtual Twin and Artificial Intelligence and the Industry Solutions Lab at the National Innovation Center (NIC), supporting technical talent development and the adoption of digital technologies across industries.

“Vietnam has significant potential to strengthen its position in the global industrial landscape by combining its manufacturing capabilities with advanced technologies and engineering expertise. Through our Generative Virtual Twin solutions, Dassault Systèmes aims to support Vietnamese organizations in accelerating innovation, developing talent and creating greater value across their industrial activities,” said Ding Ming Chee, Senior Sales Director, Asia Pacific South, Dassault Systèmes.
