Hanoi (VNA) – As Vietnam accelerates its shift toward green growth and responsible business, the Autumn Fair 2025, slated for October 25–November 4, is emerging as more than just a trade promotion event but also a venue for Vietnamese enterprises to showcase their brands' vision and social responsibility.

Featuring hundreds of domestic and foreign firms with thousands of booths, the fair spans various sectors, from industry, technology, and consumer goods to handicrafts, farm produce, food, and OCOP (One Commune, One Product) items.

Vo Thanh Hai of Viettel said the group’s pavilion, themed “A Creative Journey for Humanity”, highlights its 36-year evolution from connectivity and digitisation to innovation for people, displaying technologies integral to daily life such as 5G infrastructure, digital platforms, fintech, smart homes, and automation solutions.

Viettel does not purely advertise its products but also introduces its business philosophy of people-centred development, he said, adding that once Vietnamese enterprises view innovation as a driving force and human development as the goal, trade promotion is not only about transactions but also the convergence of economic benefits and social values.

Other exhibitors are bringing distinct and sustainable approaches seen in their culture, products, and international collaboration.

The Nguyen Hong Co. Ltd, which has imported and distributed Russian goods in Vietnam for over 20 years, offers a cultural space featuring Matryoshka dolls, crafts, and cosmetics that reflect the cultural essence of Russia.

Its Deputy General Director Tran Thanh Huyen said the fair provides a valuable opportunity for networking, discussion, and enhancement of cooperation with international partners, and that this is a good chance for the Vietnamese firms working towards sustainability to seek partnerships and market expansion.

The Saigon Union of Trading Cooperatives (Saigon Co.op) joins the fair as a “responsible digital retailer”, showing a green and efficient booth that cuts plastic use by 40%, uses environmentally friendly materials, allows visitors to trace product origins via QR codes, and sells products meeting various standards. The retailer also maintains stable prices throughout the fair to support consumers and help curb inflation.

Participating in the Autumn Fair 2025, the TVP Steel Joint Stock Company aims to expand its market, access international partners, and promote its image as a leading enterprise in Vietnam’s steel industry.

Sales Director Nguyen Tuan Khanh said the event offers an important opportunity for the firm to introduce products, promote the brand, and reach more potential partners, noting that TVP is displaying high-quality steel products suited to domestic construction and industrial demand, particularly for fast-growing infrastructure projects.

Beyond the domestic market, TVP Steel is also looking to boost exports to Europe, the US, Southeast Asia, and other Asian markets through direct networking with construction and mechanical companies, investors, and design – construction units.

The Autumn Fair 2025 is scheduled to take place at the Vietnam Exposition Centre in Hanoi's Dong Anh commune from October 15 to November 4./.

Vietnam shifting FDI attraction focus from volume to quality

As production relocation to Southeast Asia accelerates and competition for FDI intensifies, Vietnam faces increasing pressure from regional rivals such as India, Malaysia and Indonesia, which are offering bold tax incentives and developing specialised industrial parks. This reality requires Vietnam to shift its focus from attracting large volumes of capital to drawing high-quality investment, prioritising core technologies, innovation, value chain linkages and higher localisation rates.
