HO CHI MIHN CITY, Vietnam — Canadian Wood Vietnam, a subsidiary of Forestry Innovation Investment, just concluded exhibiting at a pair of tradeshows in Vietnam.

The organization promoted British Columbia as a global supplier of quality wood products from sustainably managed forests at the Ho Chi Minh City Export Furniture Fair (HAWA) and the Vietnam International Furniture & Home Accessories Fair. The two events were held consecutively March 4–7 and March 8-11 respectively in Ho-Chi Mihn City.

The exhibitions brought together manufacturers, designers, sourcing partners, and international buyers to connect, exchange insights, and explore new materials.

At both events, Canadian Wood Vietnam presented furniture collections developed by Vietnamese manufacturers participating in the Diversifying Product Lines, Expanding Market Reach Program. The program supports factories in trialing certified Canadian wood species to turn into commercially viable, export-ready furniture sets.

Through exhibition opportunities at HAWA and VIFA, participants gained opportunities to commercialize their collections using wood from British Columbia and connect with potential local and international buyers. This reinforces Canadian Wood Vietnam’s core mission to support the growth of Vietnam’s export-oriented furniture industry.

Forestry Innovation Investment maintains a satellite location in Ho Chi Minh City.
