Clean Energy transition is a crucial national priority for Viet Nam. It is essential to support the country's commitments to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and achieving its net zero ambition by 2050. Moreover, clean energy transition has the potential to create new economic opportunities for the Vietnamese industry, particularly for local companies and small and medium-sized enterprises seeking to transition to higher value-added industries.
This conference will focus on the current landscape and opportunities for electrification in Viet Nam and other countries, especially Electric Vehicle (EV) and Energy Storage System (ESS). It will bring together thought leaders to share the progress of standards development related to electrification, discuss potential challenges hindering the progress of electrification in Viet Nam, and how standards can play a role in finding sound solutions. Success stories and best practices from other countries, especially Singapore, will also be shared to inspire new approaches and initiatives.
In addition to the conference on 18 April, a technical workshop will be held on 19 April for invited participants involved in the development Vietnamese standards for electrification, or key stakeholders implementing these standards. Expert speakers will provide practical insights on standards related to EV charging and batteries. Through a moderated roundtable session, participants will discuss the challenges and opportunities for Viet Nam, provide recommendations for the on-going collaborations between STAMEQ and UL Standards & Engagement.
The conference and workshop will be a valuable opportunity for participants to deepen their understanding of the latest developments in electrification and to network with other professionals in the field.
