UNDP Invites VEEP to Share AIoT–ESCO Solutions to Accelerate Green and Digital Transformation for Vietnam’s Industrial Parks

As Vietnam accelerates the implementation of its commitment to achieve Net Zero emissions by 2050, industrial parks (IPs) have been identified as one of the country’s largest energy consumers, as well as key focal points for emissions reduction and energy transition investment flows.

However, for operating industrial parks, the twin transformation—digitalization and green transition—poses significant challenges, including fragmented infrastructure, lack of centralized data, limited investment capital, and the critical requirement to avoid disruption to ongoing production activities.

Within the framework of the training program “Promoting Energy Transition in Vietnam: ESCO Models and Integrated Energy Solutions for Industrial Parks,” VEEP delivered a featured presentation titled:

“An AIoT-Integrated Industrial Park Infrastructure Management Platform – Driving Green and Digital Transformation for Operating Industrial Parks.”

The presentation focused on a core challenge faced by existing industrial parks: how to achieve green transformation and digitalization of energy infrastructure without disrupting operations or creating substantial upfront investment burdens for secondary enterprises.

VEEP introduced its AIoT-integrated industrial park infrastructure management platform, designed to provide a holistic, flexible, and practical approach for operating industrial parks in their digital and energy transition journey.

VEEP’s solution is built on a platform-based architecture, with AIoT technology at its core to:

• Connect, collect, and standardize data from energy systems and technical infrastructure across industrial parks (electricity, water, HVAC, lighting, renewable energy, etc.)

• Monitor and analyze operational performance in real time

• Detect anomalies, losses, and optimization opportunities at an early stage

• Support Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) of energy consumption and CO₂e emissions

Through this platform, industrial park management boards can transition from fragmented, manual management models to data-driven intelligent governance, laying a strong foundation for large-scale energy efficiency and emissions reduction programs.

A key differentiator of VEEP’s solution lies in the integration of technology with ESCO / Energy Efficiency as a Service (EEaaS) financial models. Instead of requiring large upfront investments, this approach enables:

• Step-by-step implementation of energy retrofit and optimization projects

• Zero Capex requirements for industrial parks and secondary enterprises

• Benefit-sharing based on achieved energy savings

• Reduced operating costs (OPEX) and financial risks

This model is particularly well suited for operating industrial parks, where flexibility, scalability, and measurable performance are critical.

VEEP’s AIoT-integrated industrial park infrastructure management platform is designed to align with key priority areas under the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP) framework, including:

• Energy efficiency

• Distributed renewable energy

• Energy storage

• Integrated and intelligent energy solutions

Beyond technical deployment, the platform helps standardize data, enhance transparency, and verify emissions reduction performance—thereby enabling industrial parks to better access JETP funding, green finance, and development finance institutions (DFIs, MDBs).

Through its presentation, VEEP emphasized that industrial parks are not merely beneficiaries, but central actors in Vietnam’s national energy transition. When equipped with intelligent management platforms and appropriate financial models, industrial parks can:

• Enhance competitiveness and investment attractiveness

• Support secondary enterprises in their decarbonization journey

• Make tangible contributions to Vietnam’s Net Zero 2050 target

With an integrated technology–finance–policy approach, VEEP is committed to working alongside industrial park management boards, enterprises, and domestic and international partners to help build a digitalized, efficient, and low-carbon industrial ecosystem for Vietnam.
