A Highlight of Science-Based Nutrition at GDC-18 Held in Amsterdam, Netherlands, 18th Global Dairy Congress brought together nearly 200 industry leaders to explore emerging trends and the future of the global dairy sector. Under the theme "Dairy for All Ages", the event focused on inclusive nutrition, innovation, and sustainable solutions to serve consumers at every life stage. As the sole representative from Southeast Asia to deliver a presentation, Vinamilk marked its fifth appearance at the event, highlighting how advanced technology and scientific applications unlock and enhance nature's gifts, reinforcing its commitment to industry excellence. At GDC 2025, a premier global platform for the dairy industry, Vinamilk showcased cutting-edge dairy products under the theme "Born by Nature, Perfected by Science", demonstrating its innovation strategy to preserve and enhance the natural value of dairy while meeting diverse health and nutrition needs. Highlighted products included the Green Farm's product line, Vinamilk Optimum, and Plant-Based Milk. Green Farm was featured as a case study in harnessing nature's potential through advanced dairy technology. Its proprietary air-sealed technology reduces free oxygen radicals in milk by up to 50%, preserving freshness, floral aroma, and natural taste. Using European ultra-filtration technology, Green Farm High Protein Milk offers a smart, additive-free nutritional solution: high protein, rich calcium, low fat, and lactose-free meeting the rising demand for personalized nutrition. Meanwhile, Green Farm Drinking Yogurt is the first and only product in Vietnam to include six European probiotic strains, delivering 720 million live cultures that boost flavor and digestive health. A key scientific breakthrough was also emphasized with Vinamilk Optimum, an exclusive infant formula inspired by breast milk.

Building on Vinamilk's science-led approach that unites nature and technology, Dr. Richard Hall, Chairman and Founder of the Global Dairy Congress, remarked: "Dairy has long been a cornerstone of nutrition, but it must keep evolving to meet human needs. We cannot consume hundreds of products at once—we have to choose what's 'best for me.' Now more than ever, technology is empowering the dairy industry to go further and last longer." From Emerging Market to Global Player At this year's congress, Vinamilk was honored with two distinguished awards at the 2025 World Dairy Innovation Awards. Its Green Farm High-Protein Greek Yogurt was named Best Yogurt, while the Plant-Based Vinamilk Yogurt received the award for Best Packaging Design. These achievements underscore Vinamilk's unwavering commitment to innovation and creativity in the global dairy industry. Although relatively young, Vietnam's dairy industry has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past five decades with Vinamilk at the forefront of modernizing production and advancing science-based nutrition. "By honoring the essence of nature and enriching it with cutting-edge science, we remain committed to delivering nutritious products that stay true to their natural origins—in both taste and nourishment. Our journey of relentless innovation, guided by our mission 'Care to make it real,' is devoted to consumer health and to shaping a sustainable, world-class dairy industry for Vietnam," said Nguyen Quang Tri, Chief Marketing Officer of Vinamilk.
