EuroCham Vietnam promotes upcoming Green Economy Forum & Exhibition (GEFE) 2024 at Solar & Storage Live Vietnam 2024

The recent Solar & Storage Live Vietnam 2024 exhibition, held at the SKY EXPO Vietnam International Exhibition Convention Center in Ho Chi Minh City on July 10-11, 2024, showcased the latest advancements in Vietnam’s transition to a greener and smarter energy system. As a leading renewable energy exhibition, it brought together key stakeholders, innovators, and disruptors within the energy value chain to highlight critical technologies and solutions. The event focused on rooftop solar for commercial and industrial sectors, large-scale solar, energy storage, smart energy, and EV solutions, featuring over 200 exhibitors and 120 expert speakers.

EuroCham’s involvement took two forms:
