On 9 October 2026, a delegation of staff and experts from TECCO1, led by Mr. Nguyen Trong Nghia, Chief Technology Officer and Director of the Railway Office, visited and participated in activities at the 2nd Vietnam International Exhibition and Conference on Modern Railway Technology and Infrastructure Construction Supply Chain (VRT&CON 2026).
The event brought together domestic and international companies, organisations and experts to showcase technologies, equipment and engineering solutions, while promoting connections across the railway and infrastructure construction sectors. The exhibition took place from 8 to 10 October 2026 at the Vietnam Exposition Centre (VEC) in Hanoi, featuring key technology areas including railway infrastructure construction, rolling stock, railway signalling and telecommunications, safety, and operations management.
Exploring Technologies from International Railway Companies
At the exhibition, the delegation explored emerging technologies for high-speed rail and urban rail systems and engaged in discussions with companies and technology suppliers from Germany, France, South Korea and China, as well as Vietnamese enterprises. Notable companies included DB, Siemens Mobility, Hyundai Rotem, NEUERO Railtec, SYSTRA, New United Group, HODAPP, KTK Holdings, Schrey & Veit, GMT Group and Funkwerk.
The discussions focused on the capabilities, products, engineering solutions and experience of companies operating in the railway sector, helping to expand opportunities for professional networking and potential cooperation in the future.

Attending a Technical Seminar on Railway Signalling and Telecommunications Systems
As part of VRT&CON 2026, the delegation attended a technical seminar on railway signalling and telecommunications. These systems play a vital role in train control, operational safety, railway operations management and improving the transport capacity of railway networks.
Keeping abreast of technological solutions in this field is particularly valuable for railway consultancy, design and systems integration, especially as Vietnam accelerates the development of high-speed rail lines and urban railway networks. Signalling and telecommunications systems must be planned and integrated with rolling stock, power supply, traffic management and other railway subsystems to ensure safe, reliable and efficient operations.
Keeping Up with Technology and Strengthening Professional Connections
The visit to VRT&CON 2026 provided the Railway Office – TECCO1 team with an opportunity to engage directly with domestic and international technology companies, explore new engineering solutions and strengthen professional connections within the railway industry.
The knowledge and information gained from the exhibition will serve as useful references for railway research, consultancy and design projects, while supporting the assessment and selection of technological solutions suited to Vietnam's practical conditions and railway network development plans.
Through active participation in industry events, the Railway Office – TECCO1 continues to focus on keeping pace with technological advancements, enhancing professional capabilities and strengthening connections with partners across the railway supply chain, in preparation for the increasingly demanding requirements of modern railway projects in the years ahead.
