Vietnam Glorious Spring Fair 2026: Opportunities for UK & Irish Companies

The Vietnam Glorious Spring Fair 2026 will take place from 04 – 08 February 2026 at the Vietnam Exhibition Centre (VEC), Hanoi. Organised under the direction of the Government of Viet Nam and the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Fair is the first national-level trade event of the year.

Positioned at the start of the annual sourcing and contracting cycle, it provides a structured platform for Vietnamese manufacturers, exporters, and service providers to engage with international buyers and partners.

Key Component: Vietnam International Exhibition on Value Chains (VIVC 2026)

A central feature of the Fair is the Vietnam International Exhibition on Textile, Leather, Footwear, Furniture and Handicrafts Value Chain (VIVC 2026). VIVC 2026 connects the full value chain from materials and inputs to finished products and export markets, covering sectors where Vietnam has established manufacturing depth and growing export competitiveness.

By bringing together suppliers, manufacturers, exporters, and buyers in an integrated setting, VIVC 2026 enables participants to assess production capacity, supply continuity, and potential partner compatibility.
