For the current global economic integration, quality of analytical, appraising, diagnosis activities need to be improved more in order to meet increasing demands of the life as quick discovery of poisonous materials in water, in foods, pesticide residuals, poultry influenza H5N1, H7N9... This needs to have highly modern, accurate and reliable analytical and diagnosis technologies and equipment. In addition, market demands for analytical and diagnosis equipment and technologies in Vietnam have increased with the increasing export of Vietnam’s agricultural products into the world market, which supports Vietnam’s enterprises to participate more strongly in the global supply chain, meeting more thorough requirements of international economic integration. However, most of high-level technologies and equipment of analysis, diagnosis and biology technology haven’t been domesticallymanufactured. Most of these equipment are imported from developed countries. Therefore, the organization of International Exhibition Analytica Vietnam 2015 is an opportunity for S&T organizations, analytical and appraisal services to access and know information of modern technologies and equipment in the world.
