Event overview
Mining & Construction Vietnam 2027 is the international trade exhibition for mining, mineral processing and construction equipment in Vietnam. It runs 20–22 April 2027 at the Vietnam Exposition Center (VEC) in Đông Anh, Hanoi, bringing suppliers of drilling, blasting, extraction, materials handling, earthmoving and building technology together with Vietnamese mine operators, quarry owners, contractors and infrastructure buyers.
The 2026 edition reported 180+ exhibiting companies, 4,000+ trade attendees and 18 countries/regions across 15,000 sqm. The show is a practical entry point for equipment makers and service providers targeting Vietnam's coal, minerals, cement and construction markets.
TL;DR
Meet Vietnamese mine operators, quarry owners and contractors in one hall, compare equipment from regional and global suppliers, and attend technical sessions on automation, safety and sustainable mining. The April dates sit early enough to shape 2027 procurement and partner shortlists.
Vietnam's mining and construction spend is project-led and relationship-driven. Exhibiting puts your equipment, spare-parts capability and local service story in front of buyers who specify equipment for coal, minerals, cement and infrastructure work, and gives distributors a reason to visit your stand.

Edition recap
The 2026 edition ran 21–23 April 2026 and closed after three days. Organisers reported 180+ exhibiting companies, 4,000+ trade attendees, 18 countries/regions and 15,000 sqm of gross exhibition space. The 2027 edition moves to the Vietnam Exposition Center (VEC) in Đông Anh, Hanoi.
Impact
Vietnam's mining and construction pipeline is anchored by coal, bauxite, rare earths, cement and public infrastructure. Equipment demand follows project approvals, so a Hanoi show in April lets suppliers meet state mining groups, private quarries and contractors as 2027 budgets and procurement plans are set.
Audience quality
The audience is narrow and technical: mine planning, drilling and blasting, plant maintenance, quarry management and contractor procurement. That makes the show efficient for specification-led conversations, but exhibitors should bring Vietnamese-speaking staff or interpreters and expect longer relationship-building cycles than at a consumer expo.
Exhibitor outcomes
ROI depends on follow-up rather than floor scans alone. Suppliers with a local distributor or service partner can convert meetings into trials and spare-parts orders within one or two quarters. New-to-market exhibitors should budget for a Vietnamese agent, technical literature and a post-show visit to priority mine sites.
Intelligence
Key market insights, trends, news and related events to help you understand the bigger picture.
Why it matters
Vietnam is one of ASEAN's fastest-growing construction and mining markets, with coal, bauxite, rare earths, cement and aggregate production feeding domestic infrastructure. Equipment buyers are moving toward automation, fuel efficiency and lower emissions, creating openings for suppliers with service networks and proven technology.
Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.
Automation and digital mine planning
Vietnamese mines are testing fleet telematics, drone surveying and AI-assisted blast design to lift productivity and reduce safety exposure.
What it changes: Suppliers that can demonstrate measurable cycle-time or safety gains are better placed to win trials with state mining groups.
Green construction and emissions reduction
Cement, steel and building-materials producers face pressure to cut emissions, while contractors are asked to document environmental performance on public projects.
What it changes: Low-emission equipment, dust control and recycled materials are becoming specification items rather than optional extras.
Local service and spare-parts capability
Buyers increasingly weigh after-sales response, technician training and spare-parts availability alongside purchase price.
What it changes: Distributor partnerships and a visible Vietnam service footprint can decide competitive tenders.
Buyers often combine the Hanoi show with regional mining and construction events to compare suppliers across Southeast Asia and China.

Get around the city with these convenient transport options.
Grab car

Cheapest option but slower and crowded; keep small notes or use a contactless transport card.
Plan your trip
Check the latest visa requirements and entry guidelines before travelling.
| Type | Who needs it | Fee | Processing | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vietnam e-visa | Most non-ASEAN passport holders who are not visa-exempt | $25.00 | typically 3–5 working days | |
| Visa exemption | ASEAN nationals and travellers from countries with a bilateral exemption | — | not applicable |
ASEAN citizens and several bilateral-exemption nationalities can enter without a visa for short business trips; verify the current list before travel.
Do not assume an ATA carnet will clear exhibition machinery; confirm temporary-import procedures with a Vietnamese customs broker.
Official visa pageWeather
April is late spring in Hanoi: warm, humid and increasingly showery. Expect 22–31°C, high humidity and a few afternoon thunderstorms; indoor halls are air-conditioned.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
4G coverage is good across Hanoi and VEC. Buy a local eSIM or tourist SIM at Noi Bai airport; venue Wi-Fi is usually available but can be congested at peak hours.
Ride-hailing
Taxis
Public transit
Car rentals
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Business pace and hierarchy
Introduce the most senior person first, exchange business cards with both hands and expect relationship-building before detailed commercial talks.
Language and punctuality
Vietnamese is the main language; bring a Vietnamese-speaking colleague or interpreter. Arrive on time, but allow flexibility around long lunches and traffic.
Practical guides
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Destination: HAN – Noi Bai International Airport
Book four to six weeks ahead for April; Hanoi hotel rates rise around public holidays and spring events.
Book flightsMost non-ASEAN business visitors need a Vietnam e-visa or a visa obtained in advance; ASEAN nationals and some bilateral-exemption countries can enter visa-free for short stays.
Estimated cost: USD 25 for a single-entry e-visa
Processing: 3–5 working days
Apply before booking flights; carry a printed e-visa and passport. Fees and exemption lists can change.
OfficialPartnerGet to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Grab or hotel car from Noi Bai (35–50 minutes, VND 350,000–500,000); taxis are metered but agree the fare or use the official queue.
Hotel → venue: Allow 35–60 minutes from central Hanoi; leave before 08:00 to clear the Cầu Tứ Liên approach.
Ride-hail: Grab is the most reliable app-based option; keep the driver's plate number and pay by card or cash.
Public transit: Local buses cost VND 7,000–15,000 but require a change and are slower; not ideal for early meetings.
Parking: On-site parking at VEC is available; follow signs from the Cầu Tứ Liên access road.
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: April
Temperature: 22–31°C
Seasonality: Late spring; humid with occasional afternoon showers and thunderstorms.
Packing: Light business wear, a compact umbrella, breathable shirts and comfortable shoes for walking between halls.
Plan your trip
Best day to visit: Day 2 – 21 April 2027
The first morning is usually the busiest for opening meetings, while Day 2 gives a calmer floor for detailed technical discussions and conference sessions. Most exhibitors are still fully staffed before the final-day pack-down.
Book flights and a refundable hotel room — Aim to arrive 19 April; keep the booking flexible until the 2027 agenda is confirmed.
Apply for the Vietnam e-visa if required — Use the official immigration portal and print the approval.
Register for a free trade badge and download the e-badge — Registration is free for trade professionals; carry the passport used at registration.
Shortlist exhibitors and request meetings — Pick 8–12 targets across drilling, processing and earthmoving.
Check travel, weather and venue route — Allow 45–60 minutes from central Hanoi and keep a photo of the e-badge.
