On the morning of 28 January 2026, in Da Nang, the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT), in cooperation with the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and with financial support from the European Union (EU), officially launched the training course entitled “Development and Operation of an Energy Management System in accordance with ISO 50001.”
This training course is one of the regular key activities under the project “Accelerating energy efficiency in large industries through energy management systems, system optimisation and the promotion and adoption of energy efficiency in small and medium-sized enterprises (IEEP)”.
At the opening session, Mr. Hoang Viet Dung, Deputy Head of the Division of Energy Efficiency and Green Transition, Agency for Innovation, Green Transition, and Industry Promotion (MOIT), welcomed participants from industrial enterprises and emphasized the benefits, necessity, and importance of early adoption of energy efficiency solutions by enterprises. He highlighted that such efforts help enhance competitiveness in an increasingly integrated economic environment, thereby contributing to national energy security and sustainable development.

The two-day training course (28–29 January 2026) attracted nearly 70 managers and technical staff from large industrial enterprises representing the project’s target sectors, including: rubber processing, food processing, fisheries, textiles and garments, beverages, chemicals and fertilizers, metallurgy and steel, plastics, and cement. Participants came from various provinces and cities, including Ho Chi Minh City, Hue, Can Tho, Khanh Hoa, Da Nang, Quang Ngai, Phu Tho, and Ninh Binh.
The training programme was designed to: equip participants with knowledge and skills to develop, implement, and operate an ISO 50001 energy management system; guide enterprises in defining energy-saving objectives tailored to their specific characteristics and sectors; provide methods for measuring, monitoring, and analysing energy data to assess energy management performance; and introduce practical solutions and supporting tools to ensure the system’s sustainable and effective operation.
To ensure high training quality, the lecturers were carefully screened, selected, and professionally trained by UNIDO in the field of energy management systems. Three domestic experts were invited to deliver the training, representing the Certification Centre (QUACERT), the Hanoi Industrial Promotion and Consulting Centre, and Hanoi University of Science and Technology. These experts possess both strong theoretical knowledge and extensive practical experience in relevant fields.
Interaction between participants and trainers.
With a proactive and serious learning attitude, upon completion of the training course, participants will be able to:
- Understand energy management systems: Gain a thorough understanding of the components of an ISO 50001 energy management system and the benefits it delivers.
- Report and propose effectively: Demonstrate the ability to present the benefits of system implementation to management and contribute to development planning processes.
- Implement and continuously improve: Acquire sufficient knowledge to initiate the development and operation of an energy management system or to implement improvements in existing operational processes.
All participants attending the training course.
The project has delivered training courses on Energy Management Systems and System Optimization in many provinces and cities nationwide. The next training course on Industrial Steam System Optimization (SSO) is scheduled to take place in Hanoi on 17–18 March 2026. Registration for the SSO course is available at the following link:
