VRT&CON 2025, themed "The Future of Vietnam's Railways in the Global Supply Chain," opened on November 12, 2025, at the Vietnam Exhibition Center in Hanoi. This event marks the first international exhibition and conference in Vietnam dedicated to the railway-infrastructure sector, serving as a platform for strategic dialogue and investment connections within Vietnam's railway industry ecosystem. The event features nearly 90 domestic and international enterprises and organizations showcasing a wide array of railway technologies and infrastructure solutions.

The national railway network planning of Vietnam aims for completion by 2050, with a significant focus on the high-speed rail line along the North–South axis. With an investment exceeding 67 billion USD, the project traverses 15 provinces and cities and supports both passenger and freight transport. The National Assembly has approved investment policies, special mechanisms, and the Railway Law (2025) to expedite project progress, mobilize resources, and enable local authorities to manage land use and investor selection. Urban rail projects in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City include extensive metro line networks, boosting investment potential in the sector.

Industry leaders highlighted the importance of technology transfer, localization, and risk management in developing the railway industry. While private sector participation is encouraged under new policies, concerns remain about investment risks and market scale. Calls were made for synchronized standards and clearer government incentives to support enterprise investment. International cooperation is emphasized through knowledge sharing, financing, human resource training, and operational support. Foreign companies expressed readiness to collaborate with Vietnam on technology, financing, and operational strategies.

Throughout the event, numerous memoranda of understanding (MOUs) were signed between Vietnamese enterprises and international partners. These agreements focus on developing Vietnam’s railway industrial supply chain, technology transfer in areas such as TBM, signaling, and maintenance, human resource development, digital transformation, and infrastructure support zones. The VRT&CONS 2025 exhibition also hosts an Investment & Partnership Hub facilitating ongoing business-to-business connections, underscoring Vietnam's commitment to modernizing its railway system and fostering a sustainable railway industry.
