The interaction brought together representatives from Vietnam’s Ministry of National Defence and leading Indian defence industry organisations to exchange insights and explore opportunities across areas including electronics, unmanned systems, maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO), cybersecurity and advanced defence technologies.
Organised with the support of the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI), the Department of Defence Production, Ministry of Defence, Government of India, and the Embassy of India in Hanoi, the event highlighted the growing importance of industry partnerships in strengthening technological capabilities and industrial cooperation.
Strengthening India–Vietnam Defence and Technology Cooperation
India and Vietnam share an Enhanced Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, with defence and security cooperation forming an important part of their bilateral relationship. Both countries have continued to explore opportunities for closer collaboration in defence technology, industrial development, capacity building and knowledge exchange.
Vietnam’s strategic position in Southeast Asia makes it an important partner in the wider ASEAN and Indo-Pacific region. As the regional technology and industrial landscape continues to evolve, cooperation between Indian and Vietnamese organisations can support the development of capabilities, strengthen industrial connections and create opportunities for sustained technological collaboration.
The India–Vietnam Defence Industry Interaction in Hanoi provided a valuable opportunity for businesses and institutions to understand areas of mutual interest, exchange expertise and explore potential partnerships aligned with each country's requirements.
Aeron Systems: Advancing Inertial Navigation and Sensing Technologies
As an Indian deep-tech company specialising in inertial navigation systems and sensing technologies, Aeron Systems develops solutions for applications across aerospace, automotive and other demanding operating environments.
The company's expertise in Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) is particularly relevant to applications where reliable positioning and navigation are essential, including environments where Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals may be unavailable or unreliable.
Through its participation in the India–Vietnam industry interaction, Aeron Systems engaged with the wider defence technology ecosystem and explored opportunities to connect with industry stakeholders. Such platforms help technology companies build relationships, exchange technical insights and understand evolving requirements across international markets.
Opportunities for India–Vietnam Industrial Partnerships
The growing engagement between India and Vietnam creates opportunities to explore collaboration across several technology areas, including:
Advanced navigation systems: Inertial navigation and positioning technologies for demanding operating environments.
Unmanned systems: Technologies supporting navigation and reliable operation of unmanned platforms.
Defence electronics: Advanced electronic systems and components for specialised applications.
Technology development: Opportunities for technical knowledge exchange and industry collaboration.
Industrial partnerships: Potential avenues for long-term cooperation based on technological requirements and complementary capabilities.
These areas represent potential opportunities for further engagement rather than confirmed outcomes of the event.
Building Long-Term Technology Partnerships in Vietnam
The India–Vietnam Defence Industry Seminar & Exhibition reinforced the value of direct engagement between technology companies, industry organisations and government stakeholders. Meaningful international collaboration depends on understanding local requirements, establishing trusted relationships and developing solutions that meet practical operational and industrial needs.
For Indian technology companies seeking to engage with Vietnam, such interactions provide an opportunity to build market understanding and explore partnerships within Southeast Asia's evolving technology ecosystem.
Aeron Systems values platforms that encourage industry dialogue, technological advancement and international collaboration. The company looks forward to continued engagement with industry stakeholders and exploring opportunities to contribute its expertise in inertial navigation and sensing technologies to relevant applications in Vietnam and the wider region.
