In the context of the rapid development of the 4.0 technology revolution, a multi-sectoral shift has been created with three main pillars of development: AI (artificial intelligence), IoT (Internet of Things), and Big Data.  According to a report by Mordor Intelligence Inc. – the world’s leading market research organization, the IoT market is expected to grow from $1.02 trillion in 2023 to $2.06 trillion in 2023.

Not out of the general trend, the global elevator industry is becoming more and more smarter. Elevator manufacturers are actively investing in research and development to integrate the latest AI, IoT, etc. technologies into each of their next-generation product lines.

Green and sustainable elevator products and solutions are becoming increasingly popular and are projected to continue to grow strongly in the future

In addition to the trend of developing smart elevators, elevator solutions that ensure a green and environmentally sustainable element, and solving many operational safety problems in the new era are also becoming a top priority for customers and manufacturers.

To update the latest development trends in the world’s elevator industry and find solutions and directions for the Vietnamese elevator industry, the International Elevator Seminar: “Sustainable Development Trend of Future Elevator Industry” organized by Vietnam Elevator Association, will take place on December 7, 2023, will also focus on exchanging and sharing these important issues.

The seminar is one of the thematic activities within the framework of the International Elevator Exhibition Vietnam – Vietnam Elevator Expo 2023, which runs from 07 – 09/12/2023 at the Saigon SECC Fair and Exhibition Center – No. 799 Nguyen Van Linh, District 7, Ho Chi Minh City.

The Pacific Asia Lifts and Elevators Association The Pacific Asia Lifts and Elevators Association  – PALEA was founded in February 1998 in Singapore to unify the area’s rules and standards for the elevator industry. Through this, the Association aims to minimize the negative effects caused by the discrepancies and differences in elevator and escalator safety, design, manufacture, and assembly requirements between countries.

Unifying the suitability assessment process for elevator and escalator products in the area also helps decrease the demand for a reassessment of these products, thereby increasing efficiency, reducing cost and time, and maximizing profit for the elevator industry’s community.

PALEA comprises of organizations and enterprises from 13 countries and territories in Pacific Asia, including Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, Siri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, Indonesia, and Viet Nam.

Amongst these organizations and enterprises are the state agencies in Pacific Asia, as well as elevator, technology, and supporting enterprises, such as KoELSA (Korean Elevator Safety Agency), LECA (Hong Kong Lift and Escalator Contractors Association), BCA (Singapore Building and Construction Authority), Schindler, Otis, Kone, Fujitec, Mitsubishi, Hitachi, Wittur,…

The European Federation for Elevator Small and Medium-sized Enterprises – EFESME, established in 2005, is the European Federation for Elevator Small and Medium-sized Enterprises, and it is active at European and international levels to support them in their daily work and activities.

EFESME, together with its members and experts, carries out a wide range of activities in support of SMEs, and not only from a technical-normative point of view. The areas in which EFESME is currently involved concern the defense and promotion of SMEs in the technical-normative field, digitalization and cybersecurity in lift systems, as well as the constant commitment to develop standards and norms that are SME friendly, and to encourage increasing participation of SMEs.

Members of EFESME include federations, associations as well as enterprises active in the field of elevators, escalators and auxiliaries in the European region such as: the Italian National Association of Elevator Manufacturing and Maintenance Enterprises (ANACAM), German Association of Medium-sized Elevator Enterprises (VMA), French Association of Small and Medium-sized Elevator Enterprises (ANPAA), Confartigianato Imprese, Grupnor, Lift-Sület Egyesület,…
