From Week of Italian Cuisine in Vietnam:
As part of the dynamic wave of transformation sweeping across Southeast Asian developing countries, Vietnam has set an ambitious goal to become a high-income economy by 2045, grounded in sustainable ecological growth. However, in order to address this long-term challenge, Vietnam must confront significant issues related to the cold chain.
A cold chain is a supply chain that maintains a controlled temperature for perishable goods, such as food, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals. Even though a cold supply chain only requires two main components—cold storage and refrigerated trucks—creating an efficient one involves challenges in many areas.
– How can we address resource-heavy challenges such as technology, transportation infrastructure, and climate change?
– How can Vietnamese organizations, individuals, and businesses access truly sustainable, locally appropriate models and technologies?
– How can we minimize the current 50% loss in agricultural production?
Organized by the Embassy of Italy in Vietnam, The Association of Italian Refrigeration Technicians and the Vietnam Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Association (VISRAE), the workshop “The Cold Chain: From Italy to Vietnam” aims to establish a solid platform for sharing and connecting between Vietnam and Italy, in a field where Italy is a global leader.
The workshop will include 3 main topics:
– Discussion of global and Vietnamese policies on cold chain supply: with speakers Mr. Marco Buoni – Technical Director, Galileo Research Center, and Mr. Ta Quang Ngoc – President of VISRAE.
– Presentation of advanced solutions from leading companies.
– Q&A session with the speakers.
