    Why it matters

    VIMF is described by the organiser as the International Exhibition and Conference on Machinery, Equipment and Technology for Manufacturing and Supporting Industry. The Bac Ninh edition places machinery, automation and supporting-industry suppliers in northern Vietnam's industrial and FDI manufacturing base at Kinh Bac Cultural Center.

    Industry trends

    Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.

    01

    Northern Vietnam's manufacturing corridor keeps expanding

    02

    Supply-chain diversification from China boosts equipment demand

    03

    Automation and Industry 4.0 move from pilot to plant floor

    04

    Push for localisation and supporting industries

    Regional trade-fair circuit consolidates around VIMF series legs

    Bac Ninh's VIMF leg and the wider Vietnam industrial machinery circuit

    VIMF legs are spread across the year: Hai Phong on 15-17 April 2026, Bac Ninh on 4-6 November 2026. Book stand space and travel for each leg 5-8 months ahead, and allow a 2-3 week gap between legs for follow-up and logistics.

    VIMF/VIMAF is part of a national series of organiser-run legs across Vietnamese manufacturing hubs, and it sits alongside established Vietnam-focused industrial fairs plus regional ASEAN events, so buyers and exhibitors can build a multi-city circuit across the year.

    Plan your trip

    Planning

    Best day to visit: Thursday 5 November 2026 (Day 2 of the 4-6 November run)

    The fair runs three days, 4-6 November 2026. Day 1 is dominated by the opening ceremony, VIP delegations and press, so effective stand time is shorter, while Day 3 tends to wind down early as exhibitors begin packing. Day 2, Thursday 5 November, is the fullest working day for the machinery and automation halls and for scheduling longer supplier meetings. The organiser's schedule page (https://vietnamindustrialfiesta.com/schedule) should be checked closer to the show for any seminar or conference blocks, and visitors wanting a second pass at specific stands should keep Day 3 morning free.

    1

    Confirm visa need and start the eVisa application — Apply at evisa.gov.vn; the 90-day eVisa covers short business travel to VIMF Bac Ninh 2026 and needs no local sponsor.

    2

    Check passport validity and scan documents — Ensure your passport is valid well beyond the 4-6 November 2026 dates and keep digital copies of key documents.

    3

    Book a hotel near Kinh Bac Cultural Center — Captured options such as Mandala Hotel & Spa and Luxury Phoenix are 260 to 490 m from the venue; book for 4-6 November 2026.

    4

    Book flights and the road transfer to Bac Ninh — Fly into northern Vietnam (Hanoi region) and plan the road transfer onward to Bac Ninh for the 4 November opening.

    5

    Register online for a visitor badge — Pre-register on vietnamindustrialfiesta.com; you will receive a confirmation email or visitor code for badge collection.

    6

    Check shuttle and public transport options — VIMF provides free shuttle buses for group visitor companies and individuals, and Moovit lists bus routes to Kinh Bac Cultural Center.

    7

    Shortlist conference sessions and exhibitors to visit — Review the VIMF programme covering machinery, automation and supporting industry before you travel.

    8

    Request B2B meetings with target exhibitors — Email exhibitors listed on vietnamindustrialfiesta.com to fix meeting slots during the three show days.

    9

    Arrange local transport and airport transfer — Book a taxi or ride-hail from Hanoi to Bac Ninh, or use the bus route linking Bac Ninh Bus Station No. 1 with the venue.

    10

    Prepare business cards and meeting documents — Admission is for trade and business visitors on presentation of a business card, so bring printed cards and company documents.

    11

    Pack for mild November weather — Expect around 19-26°C with a few rainy days; pack light layers, a compact umbrella and comfortable shoes.

    12

    Confirm travel, hotel and badge collection — Re-confirm flights, hotel and registration code, and plan to arrive in Bac Ninh in time to collect your badge at the main entrance.

    Side trips

    2

    Hanoi Old Quarter and Hoan Kiem Lake

    Vietnam's capital adds colonial-era streets, Hoan Kiem Lake, temples and the widest choice of business hotels and restaurants; ideal for a half-day extension before or after the show.

    But Thap Pagoda and Dau Pagoda, Thuan Thanh district

    Two of northern Vietnam's most important Buddhist heritage sites in the heart of the Kinh Bac quan ho folk-singing region — a compact half-day cultural stop close to the show venue.

    Networking spots

    3

    Exhibitor halls and B2B meeting area, Kinh Bac Cultural Center

    On-site business networking

    The primary place to meet exhibitors and fellow buyers; pre-book meetings through the organiser and keep a printed shortlist of stand numbers by hall.

    Mandala Hotel & Spa Bac Ninh - lobby and bar

    Hotel venue, 4-star

    Closest full-service hotel to the venue and the most practical spot for informal follow-up meetings or evening discussions after the halls close.

    Cafes and business restaurants along Kinh Duong Vuong Street, Bac Ninh city centre

    City-centre hospitality

    Workable for coffee meetings with local distributors and agents who prefer to meet off the show floor; confirm opening hours locally.

    QUESTION 1 OF 6

    What is your primary role?

    Decision matrix

    Compare participation options side by side to choose the best fit for your objectives.

    visit

    You need supplier shortlists, price benchmarking or technical comparisons and can commit 1-2 full show days.

    Best for

    Procurement, engineering and operations teams sourcing machinery, automation and factory equipment, plus first-time Vietnam market scouts who want to meet suppliers before committing capex.

    Min. budget

    $300.00

    Timeline

    4-8 weeks ahead: Vietnam eVisa, flights to Hanoi (Noi Bai), hotel booking within walking distance of Kinh Bac Cultural Center and pre-registration.

    Risks

    Budget estimate from listing cost signals — confirm live rates.

    Budget of about USD 300 assumes 2 nights at a mid-range hotel (about USD 55/night), 2 days per-diem (USD 75/day), visa from USD 25 and no entry ticket; trade-fair entry is normally by pre-registration, so confirm registration terms with the organiser.

    Bac Ninh is a secondary city — plan ground transport from Hanoi in advance, especially for late arrivals.

    exhibit

    You have a Vietnam/Northern Vietnam channel plan, local-language support and can follow up on leads within weeks of the show.

    Best for

    Machinery, machine-tool, automation, welding and component suppliers targeting northern Vietnam's electronics, precision-engineering and industrial-park manufacturers.

    Min. budget

    $2,200.00

    Timeline

    5-8 months ahead: book stand space, appoint a Vietnam-capable agent/installer, arrange shipping and customs, plus visas and staffing.

    Risks

    Budget estimate from listing cost signals — confirm live rates.

    No published shell-scheme or per-sqm rate was captured for this edition, so the USD 2,200 floor is derived from 3x the visitor budget and covers stand space plus basic travel only — freight, build, staffing and show services sit on top.

    Confirm booth pricing, hall allocation and build regulations directly with OMG Events Management before booking logistics.

    skip

    Budget or travel is committed elsewhere and no concrete sourcing or channel objective exists for Vietnam.

    Best for

    Companies with no Vietnam/ASEAN pipeline, no machinery or industrial-equipment purchase or sales interest, or teams unable to follow up leads within the quarter.

    Timeline

    None — revisit for the sister VIMF legs (for example VIMF Hai Phong, 15-17 April 2026) if regional priorities change.

    Risks

    Vietnam's northern manufacturing belt around Bac Ninh, Thai Nguyen and Hai Phong is expanding quickly; a skip decision can mean missing a first-mover supplier or buyer relationship.
