"The positive response showed us that the decision to expand the analytica network in the Southeast Asian region with a separate location in Vietnam was the right one," explains Susanne Grödl, Exhibition Director for analytica.

New location

"The primary reason for changing locations is the concentrated economic strength in Ho Chi Minh City “, explains Grödl. "Several key branches of industry that are important to analytica Vietnam such as the chemicals and food industries are located here." Thanks to this strong economic presence, 20 percent of the countries gross domestic product and 40 percent of all Vietnamese exports are produced in the South Vietnamese metropolis. In addition, 33 percent of the national budget and 60 percent of all foreign investments flow into this region. During the past year, the economic growth rate in the region was approximately ten percent, compared to a national average of just six percent.
