Since its official operation in 2007, the Da Nang Technology and Equipment Market (Techmart Online Da Nang at www.techmartdanang.vn) has affirmed its stature as a prestigious and reliable platform for businesses from inside and outside the city to advertise their technological products.

The efficiency of the online trading site, hereby, helps to create closer links amongst scientists, manufacturers, traders, and consumers.

Under management of the Science and Technology Information Centre of the municipal Science and Technology Department, the Techmart Online Da Nang has attracted the great attention from businesses and consumers nationwide.

To date, more than 8,000 businesses nationwide have participated in Techmart Online Da Nang, advertising a total of over 40,000 technological products, and especially, the site attracts thousands of views each day.

Mr Tran Dinh Tuan, the Science and Technology Information Centre, each participating business possesses an electronic store (e-store) on which adequate information on this enterprise, especially its goods and services, are displayed, and this allows it to attract purchasers in a quick yet effective manner.

Furthermore, visiting this webite, you will have the chance to access useful information on the socio-economic development policies of the city, and the country as a whole, and potential investment opportunities there.

Also, the participating businesses really find it very easy to have access to the updated technologies, therefore, facilitating them to apply new technological solutions in their production and business activities in an effort to increase their production value and enhance their competitiveness in the current context of deeper global integration.

Once a certain business wants to join in the Techmart Online Da Nang, the site’s customer care system will automatically activate to provide it with support services. Thanks to this, Techmart Online Da Nang, little by little, has won the trust of the business community, and this advantage has helped to create a long-term cooperation between this online trading platform and  businesses.

Mr Nguyen Tran Dung, the Director of the Ho Chi Minh City-based Chien Thang Oil and Gas Co., Ltd, highly appreciated Techmart Online Da Nang for its tight management of the displayed product information so as to minimise false information on the system.

Dr Dung noted that, the problem of rampant counterfeit products has yet to be resolved thoroughly. Therefore, purchasers easily verify the origin of technological products advertised on this official trading floor without a doubt, which, in turn, creates greater levels of trust between manufactures and their consumers.

Over recent years, Techmart Online Danang has paid importance to enhancing its operation in a bid to satisfy the increasing demands of the participating businesses. Last year alone, as recommended by the participants, this one platform added more such useful features as product promotional videos, online support services, and the use of social networks like Facebook in a bid to strengthen the interactivity.

Currently, the Science and Technology Information Centre is aiming of completing the upgrade of the interface of the smartphone-based Techmart Online Da Nang app by late this year.
