The 2023 Vietnam International Industrial Manufacturing Technology and Equipment Exhibition was held in Hanoi from August 9 to 11. The three-day exhibition brought together more than 200 brands of machinery, equipment, and technology from more than 20 countries, with more than 10,000 manufacturing and supply-chain companies attending the event. This is the most professional and comprehensive industrial exhibition in Southeast Asia. Ming Chi University of Technology (MCUT) and National Taiwan Normal University (NTNU), the consortium partner of T5GIP, joined together to participate in the exhibition with the results of the research conducted by the two universities in the machinery industry.

Vietnam's industrial sector has been expanding rapidly in recent years, swiftly becoming a key player in the global supply chain. Since the government initiated the Southern Policy in 1993, exchanges between Taiwan and Vietnam have also accelerated. In line with the government's policy, MCUT not only actively recruits students and engages in international academic exchanges with Vietnam but also participates in important trade fairs in the country. The commercialized products exhibited by MCUT include the Powder Identification System developed by Professor Meng-Jey Youh's startup team from the Department of Mechanical Engineering. Taking PVC powder as an example, the system incorporates AI technology to categorize large quantities of powder particles by quality and size and manages traceability. This technology aids in the predictive maintenance of equipment and process optimization, attracting Taiwanese plastic powder manufacturers in Vietnam for cooperation discussions.

Additionally, the Plasma Thin Film Research Center, led by Professor Jyh-wei Lee, presented their Aluminum Chromium Nitride coating micro-drill technology. Utilizing high-power impulse magnetron sputtering technology, they applied nanocomposite aluminum chromium nitride thin film coatings on micro-drill surfaces, significantly reducing production costs. This technology drew interest from the CB-CERATIZIT Group for potential future collaboration. Furthermore, Pade Technology Co., Ltd, a spin-off company from the alliance partner NTNU, has developed equipment and an IoT resume for quantitative analysis of different fibers in old/mixed textiles using advanced optical and AI technologies, contributing to the global textile industry's circular economy.

MCUT stated that they continue to invest in deepening technological expertise. This year, they joined the T5GIP Industrialization Platform led by National Taiwan University, promoting international cooperation through cross-university resources. By participating in this international exhibition in Hanoi with two technologies, MCUT hopes to deepen international exchange opportunities and promote its internal technology on international platforms, fostering international cooperation. This participation not only helps enhance the competitiveness and added value of Vietnam's industry but also showcases the university's abundant research and development capabilities.
