Vietnam Exhibition Center is planned with a total area of over 900,000m², of which the indoor exhibition space alone is up to 304,000m² - bringing the project to the top 10 largest exhibition center complexes in the world and the largest in Southeast Asia.
The Exhibition Center Complex includes many items, notably the Kim Quy Exhibition Hall - the world's largest circular structure with a total area of 104,863 m², a height of over 56m, designed in association with the legend of the Kim Quy god and the Co Loa cultural heritage.

The space inside Kim Quy is divided into 9 large halls that can be opened continuously or separately, with a floor load of up to 5 tons/m² - enough to display large-sized machinery. Each hall is fully integrated with services such as restaurants, cafes, and function rooms, creating maximum conditions for exhibitors and visitors.
Along with that is an outdoor exhibition area of over 200,000 m² - ranked top 3 in the world in terms of scale - suitable for organizing festivals, concerts, international fairs. In particular, the North yard area is specially designed for large music festivals with a capacity of up to 50,000 people.

Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Nguyen Van Hung emphasized that the Vietnam Exhibition Center is identified as one of the key and strategic projects. Right from the beginning, this project was expected to become a world-class exhibition center.
Minister Nguyen Van Hung highly appreciated the close coordination between Vingroup, Hanoi authorities and relevant ministries and branches in mobilizing resources to build a modern exhibition center: "The Vietnam Exhibition Center has been expected since the first foundation was laid, which is to build a regional world-class center. That is why the Party and State leaders have entrusted Vingroup to carry out the investment process to build this center in a very short time. With the spirit of the country's development in the new era of building a strong and prosperous country, the Group has coordinated with the capital Hanoi and relevant ministries and branches to mobilize resources to build the Exhibition Center according to high technical standards.
As a state management agency in the field of exhibitions, we would like to share in the joy and sincerely thank the tireless efforts of Vingroup Corporation to have a project of great stature and in the top 10 in the world in terms of area and scale, in terms of architecture and design."
In particular, the iconic project - Kim Quy Exhibition House not only bears a unique architectural mark associated with national legends, but also demonstrates Vietnam's aspiration to reach international stature in the exhibition industry. General Secretary To Lam's direct visit to the project on June 26, according to the Minister, is a great recognition and encouragement for the units participating in the project implementation.
Destination of global events
Vingroup is the unit assigned by the Government to coordinate the construction and design of the project. The implementation process mobilized international consultants and high-tech experts to ensure global standards. In particular, the exhibition coordination work - an unprecedented task - was also actively coordinated by the Group with the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.

Mr. Nguyen Viet Quang, Vice Chairman and General Director of Vingroup affirmed: “After completing the entire complex, the Vietnam Exhibition Center will become a destination for global events, international convention centers, art festivals and cultural exchanges. From here, a new era of the modern exhibition industry will be launched, contributing to enhancing the position of Hanoi and Vietnam on the regional and international map”.
The project not only aims to serve the 80th anniversary of National Day on September 2, but also lays the foundation for the exhibition industry in Vietnam - a field with great potential but has not been properly exploited. With a flexible design, integrated technology and professional organization space, the Vietnam Exhibition Center promises to become a meeting point for global cultures, businesses and initiatives.
Minister Nguyen Van Hung emphasized: “The Vietnam Exhibition Center is identified as a key strategic project. Right from the beginning of construction, the project was expected to become a world-class exhibition center.”
The massive dome uses 24,000 tons of steel with a safety factor double that of normal, combined with translucent materials that meet global green architecture standards.
It is expected that from August 28 to September 5, 2025, the Exhibition of Socio-Economic Achievements to celebrate the 80th Anniversary of National Day will be the first event to exploit the entire functions of the complex, with the participation of ministries, branches, localities and large enterprises across the country. This will be an opportunity for Vietnam to demonstrate its outstanding achievements in 80 years of development, affirming the stature of a country that is strongly transforming in international integration.
