SoftMart 2006 and TechMart 2006 will be held by the Center for Science and Technology Information of Ho Chi Minh City (CESTI) in cooperation with International Data Group (IDG). Many new technologies, effective software programs and hi-tech devices are expected to be introduced and purchased in this year's fair.

As the management board of the fairs, CESTI hope the fairs will be a great occasion for local businesses to introduce their ICT products to foreigners.” said Mr. Nguyen Huu Phep, Deputy Director of CESTI.
Among the foreign software companies, organizations taking part in the fairs, three foreign groups including a Spanish researching on Nano technology, a Singaporean on water waste treatment and a Taiwan on biotechnology will come in search of cooperation and business opportunities.
In addition, a meeting will be held with the attendance of many ICT local and foreign experts, focusing on E-Commerce, E-Administration, Distributed Management and Computerization.
“After the fairs, we will launch a TechOnline website to purchase Vietnamese ICT products and software programs.” added Mr Phep.
