Vietnam International Trade Fair – VIETNAM EXPO has been an annual event since its first show in 1991. The Government of Vietnam assigned the tasks of organization and direction to the Ministry of Industry and Trade, specifically Vietnam Trade Promotion Agency – VIETRADE, in cooperation with other Ministries and Vinexad JSC. The past 29 years has witnessed the organization board’s great endeavors to make Vietnam Expo become one of the most large-scale trade promotion activities which not only plays a vital role in the national Industry and Trade sectors but also gain a well-deserved reputation among international friends and local enterprises.

As a result of trade promotion activities before, during and after the Fair, a wide range of economic values, practical opportunities and connections are created for local enterprises to increase their export sales. Vietnam Expo also contributes to the development of the domestic market and the implementation of the Government’s commitments to international economic integration.

Given the constantly changing world, the creation and maintenance of "a commercial playground" in the right spirit of global economic flows which focuses on "cooperation and link" will create more job opportunities in Vietnam. In addition, Vietnam Expo has succeeded in approaching new countries as new partners and attracting well-known branches. The Fair is the place where new technologies are launched, resilient activities like business-matching, investment attraction or consultancy are initiated; and advanced seminars on enhancing understanding about policies or development strategies on commerce are held.
