Vietnam Expo 2025 is expected to introduce a fresh wave of technological innovation in trade promotion, enabling domestic and international enterprises to leverage digital platforms and solutions to enhance competitiveness and expand export capacity.
Over more than three decades, the Expo has earned a solid reputation as a trusted destination for trade promotion agencies from around the world, including Algeria, Cambodia, Belarus, Cuba, South Korea, Laos, Nepal, and China. These countries are showcasing national pavilions that highlight their signature products, technologies, and services.
Within Vietnam, the fair continues to attract strong participation from local investment, trade, and tourism promotion centers, which organize regional pavilions to present high-quality OCOP products and key export commodities to both domestic and international visitors.
400 Exhibitors from 18 Countries and Territories
Building on the success of previous editions, Vietnam Expo 2025 features approximately 400 enterprises from 18 countries and territories, with more than 500 exhibition booths.
The event has already drawn thousands of registered visitors and trade representatives from over 60 countries and territories, including India, Belarus, the Philippines, Russia, and China.
Visitors can explore and experience agricultural products, foods, and beverages from over 17 Vietnamese provinces and cities, such as Bac Lieu, Bac Ninh, Ben Tre, Binh Phuoc, Dak Nong, Ha Tinh, Lai Chau, Ninh Binh, Quang Binh, Quang Nam, Tay Ninh, and Tien Giang.
Investment Promotion and Green Transformation Highlights
The “Vietnam Industrial Investment Promotion Pavilion”, located at the center of the exhibition, serves as a key highlight of Vietnam Expo 2025. It showcases the investment and industrial development potential of major Vietnamese localities, including Son La, Khanh Hoa, Tien Giang, Ho Chi Minh City, Can Tho, Kien Giang, and the Bac Lam Thao Industrial Cluster, along with the Korea Desk initiative.
Deputy Minister Nguyen Sinh Nhat Tan noted that in 2025, the Vietnamese Government aims to achieve GDP growth of at least 8%, higher than the previous forecast of 6.5–7%. Key strategies include boosting trade promotion, effectively implementing signed Free Trade Agreements (FTAs), and pursuing new FTA negotiations with emerging markets.
Vietnam also focuses on digital economy development, innovation, and green transition, not only for sustainable growth but also to improve the business environment and strengthen national competitiveness amid global economic shifts.
Expanding B2B Connectivity All Year Round
A notable feature of Vietnam Expo 2025 is the expansion of online B2B networking platforms, allowing companies to connect with partners remotely and maintain 365-day year-round trade engagement. This model enhances opportunities for cross-border collaboration and helps Vietnamese businesses expand their global partner networks sustainably.
Vietnam Expo 2025 takes place from April 2–5, 2025.
