Hanoi (VNA) 🎀– VinFast, a member of private conglomerate Vingroup, has announced its participation in the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2023 from January 5 – 8 next year with a showcase of its electric vehicle ecosystem, including four electric SUV models, four electric bikes, VF 8 test drives, and an immersive experience in their booth.
Returning to the CES 2023 a year after announcing its all-electric vehicle strategy, the automobile maker will display four electric SUV models - VF 6, VF 7, VF 8 and VF 9 - which represent the most popular segments from small crossovers to large 5- and 7-seater SUVs.
Among the four models, the VF 8 was recently launched, and the first vehicle shipment arrived in the US in mid-December. CES attendees can test drive the model in two special areas around the convention centre. One area will be a ride along experience with VinFast’s product experts, where customers can experience the VF 8’s modern technology and features. The second opportunity will be for those customers who will drive themselves on the closed track provided by CES, where they can directly experience the VF 8 model.
The VF 6, VF 7 and VF 9 are currently under development and will be launched in 2023.
Apart from the electric crossovers and sport utility vehicles, VinFast will also display electric bike concepts for the first time. These will join the previously launched electric vehicles, e-scooters, electric buses and clean energy solutions to complete its full ecosystem of electric products.
The four electric vehicle models and four electric bike concepts will be displayed at the VinFast booth in the West Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center in Booth 5501. In addition, event attendees can enjoy the VinFast "immersive room" in their show stand where they can experience VinFast's journey as well as a static VF 9 model.
This year, VinFast VF 8s will be made available for a VinFast Chauffeur service and accessible for CES visitors staying at the Bellagio for travel to and from the Las Vegas Convention Center.

The firm is also rapidly developing its retail store and service centre network in California and will be expanding to other states in the US, in order to serve customers quickly and conveniently, she added.
VinFast's pavilion will be open to the public and test drives will be held from January 5-8, 2023./.

Vietnamese businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), must embrace digital and AI transformations to remain competitive and achieve sustainable growth, experts said.
Under the European Union (EU)’s global initiative on Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) Risk Mitigation Centres of Excellence (CoE), Vietnam has implemented numerous projects aimed at strengthening national capacity in detecting, preventing, and preparing for CBRN-related threats.
The course aims to promote knowledge exchange between scientific and educational schools from different countries, while deepening participants’ expertise in modern technology and technical education. It comprises two main specialisations of electronics-automation and nuclear technology.
ANTARA and VNA can design global-scale cooperation programmes or joint media campaigns, demonstrating the comprehensive strategic partnership between Vietnam and Indonesia, as well as the cooperation between the two national news agencies.
As Vietnam’s digital transformation accelerates, both the frequency and severity of cyberattacks are growing. The National Cybersecurity Association (NCA) reported that in 2024 alone, there were some 659,000 separate cybersecurity incidents, impacting around 46.15% of government agencies and businesses.
A key highlight will be the technology cluster pavilion, showcasing top enterprises selected for their innovation, market potential, and practical applications. These firms will display flagship products and solutions, supported by government policies to strengthen the tech sector.
Since 2022, more than 500 Vietnamese startups have engaged in Google’s Startup Academy, Google for Startups Accelerator, and Google Startup Masterclass. Nearly 100 of these firms received support to develop and improve their products, benefiting more than 300,000 customers and creating over 300 new jobs through successful fundraising and team expansion amidst Vietnam’s competitive economy.
Over the past three decades, Binh Duong has cemented its status as one of Vietnam’s most dynamic industrial hubs, building a robust foundation in manufacturing, exports, and investment. The province now has 30 operational industrial parks spanning over 13,000 hectares, with an occupancy rate exceeding 90%.
The diplomat emphasised that Vietnam places the highest priority on the development of science, technology, and innovation, viewing them as critical drivers for the country’s advancement in the new development era.

Under the MoU, AMD will support several key initiatives spearheaded by HCM City’s authorities, including piloting policies, co-hosting innovation events, and evaluating the investment environment within the Saigon Hi-Tech Park.
The centre is a joint initiative between Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and Vietnam’s Ministry of Science and Technology, with PTIT and the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) serving as co-leads, and global telecommunications giant Nokia as founding industry partner.
