Hanoi (VNA) – Tens of thousands of products across the industrial, agricultural, trade, service, logistics, tourism, and digital technology sectors will be showcased at the Autumn Fair 2025, scheduled to take place from October 25 to November 4 at the Vietnam Exposition Centre in Hanoi's suburban Dong Anh commune.

Spanning over 130,000 square metres of exhibition space with around 3,000 booths, the event will gather nearly 2,500 businesses from across the country, including 13 state-owned groups and corporations, hundreds of major private enterprises, cooperatives, and innovative start-ups. The fair is expected to attract an average of 500,000 visitors per day.

The Autumn Fair 2025 will serve as a dynamic platform for businesses, artists, innovators, investors, and the public to connect, experience products, and explore cooperation opportunities. It will act as a miniature cultural marketplace where products and services are introduced, tested, commercialised, and translated into tangible economic transactions, while promoting the image of a creative, friendly, and globally integrated Vietnam.

More than 30 specialised events will run alongside the fair, including business networking conferences, trade promotion forums, innovation seminars, corporate talk shows, and a series of cultural, artistic, cinematic, fashion, sports, gaming, and culinary activities.

Designed as a “journey across Vietnam,” the fair space will feature distinct zones showcasing the country’s people, culture, and dynamic economy. In addition to the indoor exhibition space, the organisers will host a series of lively outdoor activities such as games, concerts, art performances, and cultural exchanges.

A major highlight will be an Autumn flavours festival, offering visitors immersive culinary experiences with over 100 varieties of craft beer and 10 leading domestic and international brands, paired with grilled dishes and global cuisine. The festival will also feature a special area celebrating the culinary heritage of 34 provinces and cities across Vietnam./.
