The first Autumn Fair - 2025: Welcoming more than 1 million visitors, 5,000 billion VND in transactions

Notably, on the closing night, nearly 400 billion VND was donated on the spot to support the people of the Central region to overcome the consequences of storms and floods, of which Vingroup Corporation contributed 100 billion VND, making the Autumn Fair a festival of Vietnamese hearts.

"Super fair" of 5,000 billion VND

On the evening of November 3, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, Deputy Prime Minister Bui Thanh Son, central and local leaders; representatives of diplomatic agencies, international organizations, associations, corporations, and domestic and foreign enterprises attended the closing ceremony of the First Autumn Fair (from October 25 to November 4).

This is an important trade promotion event opening a series of national-scale trade - investment - cultural promotion activities in the new era, assigned by the Prime Minister to the Ministry of Industry and Trade to preside over, coordinate with the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Hanoi People's Committee, Vingroup Corporation and other ministries, branches and localities to organize at the Vietnam Exhibition Center (Tu Lien Bridge Road, Dong Anh, Hanoi).

With a scale of over 130,000m², 3,000 booths and the participation of more than 2,500 domestic and foreign enterprises and organizations, the first Autumn Fair - 2025 is considered a "panoramic picture" of the vitality, identity and aspirations of the Vietnamese economy.

The fair is also a forum for exchanging and opening up innovative ideas towards sustainable development. Seminars, conferences and investment connection events are held continuously, attracting thousands of delegates and experts from home and abroad. The "Super Fair" is therefore considered a launching pad for Vietnamese products to reach further and Vietnamese enterprises to grow stronger in the global value chain.

The attractiveness and huge scale of the Fair also created a strong consumer appeal. In just about ten days, there were more than 1 million visitors coming to visit, shop and experience. Total transaction turnover at the Fair reached nearly 5,000 billion VND, reflecting the vibrant purchasing power, strong confidence and optimism of consumers in the domestic economy.

The success of the Fair comes from the close direction of the Government, the leadership of the Ministry of Industry and Trade and the enthusiastic participation of businesses. In particular, the fair is marked by the systematic and professional organization, meeting international standards of Vingroup Corporation in the role of co-organizer, sponsor and main operating unit. Vingroup not only contributes resources but is also the "architect" directly consulting on the overall design of the fair space, supporting the infrastructure, electricity and water systems, security and sanitation, contributing to ensuring the smooth and standard operation of the national event.

Speaking at the closing ceremony, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh said: “The success of the first Autumn Fair in 2025 is an affirmation that the Vietnamese market is not only attractive in terms of scale and development speed, but also a safe, friendly, promising and attractive destination for domestic and international investors. The fair is a symbol of the spirit of solidarity and common development aspirations of the entire Vietnamese people, clearly demonstrating the belief in a dynamic, creative Vietnam towards the future.”

Fair of Charity

Along with the impressive numbers, the first Autumn Fair - 2025 is especially marked by the spirit of sharing. Right before the opening ceremony, the Organizing Committee coordinated with the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front to launch a donation program to support people in flood-affected areas. Charity boxes were placed at the entire entrance area of VEC so that visitors could contribute cash or in kind.

Thousands of representatives of organizations, businesses and people sent meaningful gifts, clearly demonstrating the spirit of "Autumn of hope - sharing love".

In particular, Vingroup Corporation, one of the pioneering enterprises in social responsibility activities, continues to demonstrate the spirit of sharing by donating 100 billion VND (from the 500 billion VND Vingroup fund for flood relief) to support the people of the Central region to overcome the consequences of floods.

With a total of nearly 400 billion VND donated, the first Autumn Fair - 2025 goes beyond the meaning of an economic event, becoming a festival connecting hearts, spreading Vietnamese humanitarian values.

The first Autumn Fair - 2025 has concluded a brilliant journey to open a new beginning for the following seasons, contributing to consolidating and perfecting the combined strength of the Government, businesses and the community, acting together for a prosperous, sustainable and humane Vietnam.

Immediately after the first Autumn Fair - 2025, the Ministry of Industry and Trade was assigned to preside over the development of a plan to organize four-season fairs in the coming time. Coming up next will be the first Spring Fair to form a series of large-scale annual fairs and exhibitions taking place throughout the year at VEC - which will be a meeting point to connect trade and cultural experiences between businesses, localities with domestic and international consumers./.
