Tiếng ViệtWith the theme “Detailing the Future, Tekla Forum Vietnam 2025 successfully concluded after two key stops in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, attracting more than 260 participants including engineers, experts, and enterprises in the construction sector. The event not only introduced new perspectives on the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology, but also created a strong sense of connection within the Tekla user community across the country. The insights, initiatives, and visions shared during this year’s Forum will form a solid foundation for the community to collectively shape the future of the construction industry in the digital era.
The choice of Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi as the host cities once again underscored the significance of these two vibrant economic and cultural hubs. Ho Chi Minh City, with its dynamism and modern urban landscape, stands in contrast yet harmony with Hanoi, where tradition and national identity blend with development. Together, the two cities highlighted Vietnam’s unique duality of innovation and heritage, providing the perfect backdrop for an event that bridges technology with people.
Held on August 20 in Ho Chi Minh City and August 22 in Hanoi, Tekla Forum Vietnam 2025 welcomed more than 260 attendees, among them leading experts and engineers. The impressive turnout affirmed the Forum’s role as a trusted platform for knowledge sharing, professional networking, and shaping the future development trends of the construction industry in Vietnam and beyond.
