Hanoi University of Mining and Geology (HUMG) has been actively organising specialised technical seminars within the framework of Mining & Construction Vietnam since 2013, delivering high-quality presentations with strong scientific and practical value.
This year’s exhibition brings together leading companies and brands in mining and construction, featuring advanced technologies such as automation, digitalisation in mining operations, next-generation equipment, intelligent management solutions, as well as energy-efficient and emission-reduction technologies. In addition to exhibition activities, the event includes business matching programmes and VIP buyer initiatives, contributing to enhanced trade and cooperation across the sector.
As part of the exhibition, Hanoi University of Mining and Geology (HUMG), in collaboration with Informa Markets Vietnam, will organise the specialised conference “Digital Transformation in the Mining Industry – When Technology Creates Real Value” on 22 April 2026 at the conference area, Hall 1, Vietnam Exhibition Center (VEC). The conference will focus on key technological trends, including Industry 4.0, automation, robotics, 3D design and LiDAR scanning technologies, with an emphasis on solutions that can be directly applied in mining operations and management.
According to the programme, the conference features two thematic sessions, bringing together scientists, experts and industry representatives:
