Hanoi (VNA) – After five days, the first Golden Autumn Fair 2025 witnessed the signing of more than 100 cooperation agreements and memoranda of understanding (MoU) between Vietnamese businesses and international partners in diverse sectors, including investment, trade, technology transfer, supply chain development and export collaboration, opening up new prospects for Vietnam’s international economic integration.

The large number of contracts and agreements signed during the event underscores the fair’s prestige and appeal, while highlighting Vietnam’s growing influence on the global trade map. With a stable investment climate, a young and dynamic workforce, strong consumer demand and policies encouraging foreign enterprises, Vietnam continues to affirm its position as an attractive destination for global investors and partners.

The signed MoUs and cooperation deals also demonstrate the vibrancy and openness of the Vietnamese economy. They reaffirm Vietnam’s reputation as not only a fast-growing and large-scale market, but also a safe, friendly and promising destination for international investors in the new development period.

According to the organising committee, the fair drew hundreds of thousands of visitors daily, who came to explore, experience and shop.

Exhibition zones, themed booths and cultural–commercial spaces were consistently bustling with activities, reflecting the fair’s positive spillover effects in stimulating domestic consumption, fostering business development, promoting Vietnamese products and strengthening the image of a dynamic, innovative and hospitable Vietnam in the eyes of international friends.

Within the framework of the fair, more than 30 trade promotion events, supply–demand connection sessions, business networking conferences and thematic forums were held, focusing on key sectors of the economy.

Key themes such as green transition, digital transformation, brand development and circular economy were interwoven throughout the programme, helping to raise awareness within the business community, stimulate innovation, enhance competitiveness and promote sustainable growth of Vietnam’s economy.

A series of international business-matching sessions brought together enterprises and trade promotion organisations from Japan, the Republic of Korea, China, Singapore, New Zealand and the EU, garnering strong interest and positive feedback from foreign partners./.
