Hanoi (VNA) – The 35th Vietnam International Trade Fair (Vietnam Expo 2026), one of the country’s most prestigious and long-established events of its kind, will be held from April 8 – 11 at the Vietnam Exposition Centre in Hanoi's Dong Anh commune.
Hosted by the Ministry of Industry and Trade, directed by the Vietnam Trade Promotion Agency and organised by the Vinexad National Trade Fair & Advertising JSC, the expo will feature around 500 booths from more than 420 enterprises representing 20 countries and territories. It is expected to attract some 20,000 visitors and trade delegates from over 50 countries and territories.
One of the highlights of Vietnam Expo 2026 will be international pavilions, where trade promotion organisations, industry associations and businesses from various countries will showcase their strengths in products, technologies and business solutions. These areas will not only present a vivid picture of global trade cooperation but also offer Vietnamese firms direct access to suppliers, importers, distributors and investors worldwide.
According to Vinexad, the fair will follow a multi-sector format with major exhibition zones, including those for international pavilions; export and investment; food an smart consumer goods; electricals, electronics and home appliances; hardware and hand tools; and elevators, components and supporting industries. This diversified structure is designed to help businesses maximise trade promotion effectiveness and expand cooperation networks across related fields.
Positioned as a business-to-business (B2B) event, the expo will focus on direct matchmaking activities, enabling companies to meet potential partners, seek importers and distributors, and explore investment opportunities. For foreign enterprises, it serves as an important gateway to the Vietnamese market and a platform to connect with production, export and distribution networks across Southeast Asia
In addition to exhibitions and trade activities, the fair will host a series of specialised seminars, business forums and experiential events linked to its key sectors, adding value for participating enterprises.
In the export-investment and food-smart consumer goods segments, activities will include a forum on green consumption trends in global e-commerce, and a programme introducing Belarusian export products to the Vietnamese market.
For hardware, hand tools and supporting industries sectors, dialogue sessions and business matchmaking with Korean partners in automotive components and shipbuilding, along with a seminar on integrating Vietnamese supporting-industry firms into global supply chains, are expected to facilitate expanded manufacturing cooperation.
A site visit to Hanoi’s supporting industrial park HANSSIP and a DIY experience zone will also provide opportunities to explore investment conditions, production technologies and products firsthand.
Additionally, a forum organised by the Vietnam Elevator Association will offer fresh perspectives on integrating elevator technology with design and art in modern architectural spaces./.
