This is an international fair specialising in export-oriented handicrafts, organised annually by Ha Noi.

The fair will showcase and promote handicraft products of Ha Noi, other provinces and cities across the country, as well as of several foreign countries. In addition, it will introduce newly designed handicraft products and perform some outstanding traditional crafts by Ha Noi artisans.

This year, the fair will host about 450-500 standard booths and functional areas, including booths for enterprises and production facilities, a zone for newly designed products, a food court, a traditional craft performance area by artisans, a media and information section introducing the development of Ha Noi’s typical craft villages, among others.

With an export-oriented approach, the fair will invite, welcome and support importers, international guests, and domestic traders to visit and conduct transactions. It will also create opportunities for business connections, negotiations and signing of export contracts between enterprises and importers or domestic visitors, both in person and online; guide handicraft businesses and producers in joining e-commerce platforms.

The fair is expected to attract from 10,000 to 12,000 visitors. To support enterprises and production facilities to participate in the fair, Ha Noi will subsidise 50-100% of booth costs (excluding foreign enterprises).

According to the Ha Noi Department of Industry and Trade, Ha Noi Giftshow 2025 will serve as a bridge for handicraft enterprises and producers of Ha Noi and nationwide to meet, conduct transactions, establish business connections, and negotiate and sign contracts with importers and business visitors, thereby promoting the consumption and export of handicraft products.

The fair will also be an opportunity for rural industrial facilities to share experiences in management, production organisation, and strategic orientation for building and developing handicraft brands in key export markets.
