ABOUT THE FAIR
CO-REF Vietnam (Cold Chain & Refrigeration Exhibition) is Vietnam’s leading trade fair for cold chain and refrigeration technologies, held annually at the I.C.E. – International Center of Exhibition in Hanoi. It targets professionals, decision-makers, and innovators engaged in storage, refrigeration, transportation, monitoring, packaging, and infrastructure across the cold chain – in one of Southeast Asia’s most dynamic markets.
As an established industry platform, CO-REF Vietnam brings together national and international exhibitors and trade visitors from across Asia each year. The event is organized by Connect Exposition Asia (C.E.A.), a renowned exhibition organizer recognized for creating forward-looking B2B platforms with a strong regional focus.
The exhibition centers on technological innovation and practical solutions across the entire cold chain. It showcases the latest developments in refrigeration technology, cold storage, reefer transport, HVAC systems (heating, ventilation, air conditioning), temperature monitoring, IoT applications, packaging solutions, and software-based process optimization. The offerings span everything from infrastructure development to precise temperature control for sensitive products such as seafood, dairy, meat, processed foods, and pharmaceuticals.
A key focus is the ongoing development of Vietnam’s cold chain infrastructure – a vital component of national food and pharmaceutical security. CO-REF Vietnam thus makes a direct contribution to the country’s economic and technological advancement. As the economic hub of northern Vietnam, Hanoi not only provides a fitting venue but also offers strategic proximity to key trade and manufacturing regions.
Moreover, the exhibition serves as a central meeting point for stakeholders from sectors such as retail, logistics, pharmaceuticals, food processing, seafood export, packaging technology, and software development. Trade visitors attend to explore new technologies, improve existing supply chains, establish business partnerships, and stay informed about current industry trends.
Conveniently located in the heart of Hanoi, the I.C.E. is easily accessible by taxi and public transport. As a modern exhibition venue, it offers ideal conditions for business networking, product showcases, and technical presentations in a professional setting. CO-REF Vietnam is not only a must-attend event for cold chain professionals but also a gateway to the future of a rapidly growing industry in Asia.
The Co-Ref Vietnam in Hanoi took place from Wednesday, 01. October to Friday, 03. October 2025.
