Energy-saving renovations and the green development trend
In terms of energy conservation renovations, the Southeast Asian countries place great emphasis on green and sustainable development:
1、Vietnam has set clear green certification targets for industrial parks.
2、The Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand (IEAT) has implemented measures such as mobile solar equipment and electric vehicle charging stations. Its "Strategic Plan 2023-2026" also emphasizes the development of eco-industrial zones to respond to global climate change goals.
3、The Seven-Star Sea Park in Cambodia gives priority to ecological protection during its development. It extensively utilizes renewable energy and pays close attention to ecological restoration and soil improvement.
The notable international cooperation and market opportunities to be noted
Some developments in international cooperation are also worthy of attention:
1、The 2025 China-Indonesia Smart City Conference will be held in November. The construction of the new capital of Indonesia is expected to release a $5 billion infrastructure budget. The market opportunities mainly lie in the fields of smart security, emergency fire protection, and green energy.
2、At the Digital Cooperation Conference in South Asia and Southeast Asia, initiatives such as the establishment of the "International Digital Port Cooperation Network" were proposed. Chinese enterprises play a significant role in the construction of digital infrastructure (such as data centers) in Southeast Asia.
3、The Vietnam International Industrial Fair (VIIF 2025) will be held in Hanoi in November. It is a platform for learning about the advanced technologies, equipment and solutions in the Vietnamese industrial sector.
