The GRECO 2025 exhibition, held along Nguyen Hue walking street in Ho Chi Minh City, has drawn large crowds of locals and tourists alike, offering an immersive showcase of green technologies, artificial intelligence, and innovation-driven solutions.

On the evening of November 25, the GRECO 2025 exhibition officially opened as part of the Autumn Economic Forum 2025. The event focuses on green growth, advanced technologies, and artificial intelligence.

The exhibition space is divided into three main zones, featuring green growth solutions, AI applications, and innovation achievements from domestic and international companies.

The digital technology–AI–semiconductor zone displays a variety of AI applications in education, healthcare, and smart city systems.

The industry-specific product zone introduces solutions in clean energy, green transportation, digital finance, and sustainable consumption. Meanwhile, the sustainability zone honors ESG-oriented businesses and green startups, emphasizing Ho Chi Minh City’s commitment to a circular economy.

One exhibit drawing significant attention is a robotic dog that can stand upright, turn its head, shake hands, and interact with visitors. According to staff, the robot - priced at around 500 million VND (approximately 20,500 USD) - is primarily used in STEM research and education.

A highlight of GRECO 2025 is the Jaecoo J6, a compact all-electric SUV symbolizing the green transportation trend. With its boxy off-road styling, the model evokes comparisons to iconic vehicles like the Land Rover Defender and Suzuki Jimny.

Another standout innovation is a VR headset that creates a hyper-realistic 3D workshop environment. Users can simulate every step of jet engine maintenance - from disassembly and inspection to troubleshooting. Developers claim that users who complete the VR training achieve a higher proficiency and lower risk when transitioning to real-world practice.

Also on display is the Fuka robotic hand, presented as a groundbreaking environmental solution powered by AI. Priced between 300–500 million VND (12,300–20,500 USD), the device uses AI vision for recognition and guidance, supporting automation in factories with precise gripping and manipulation capabilities.

Beyond the tech exhibits, GRECO 2025 also hosts thematic activities, including a seminar on semiconductor workforce development, a “trash-for-gifts” campaign to promote environmental awareness, and trade networking events connecting Vietnamese and international enterprises. Delegations from Japan, South Korea, and Europe have shared insights on green urban development, adding a global dimension to the event.

According to organizers, GRECO 2025 is not only a showcase for emerging technologies but also a gateway for domestic businesses - particularly small and medium-sized enterprises - to connect with strategic partners and explore new markets. The event is expected to become an annual highlight in Ho Chi Minh City’s efforts to build a smart, green, human-centered, and sustainable urban future.

The exhibition runs through November 30.
