International fair «EWEC – Đà Nẵng 2026»

   If you are sourcing, exporting or hunting for a distributor in central Vietnam, this is the reason to be in Da Nang. The city's exhibition centre becomes the meeting point for companies working along the East–West Economic Corridor — the trade route that runs from Myanmar through Thailand and Laos and reaches the sea here, on the Vietnamese coast.

   The fair runs under the National Trade Promotion Programme 2026, directed by the Ministry of Industry and Trade and the Da Nang People's Committee, and organised jointly by the Vietnam Trade Promotion Agency (Cục Xúc tiến thương mại) and the Da Nang Department of Industry and Trade, under city plan No. 331/KH-UBND.

   It is built out of 350 standard stands, split like this:

• — a Da Nang city cluster of roughly 90 m², showing OCOP products, industrial goods, culture and tourism services and the city's investment-project portfolio;
• — 26 stands held by international organisations and embassies;
• — 200 stands under the national trade promotion programme;
• — 118 stands booked directly by companies.

   Sectors on the floor run from OCOP goods and regional specialities, clean agricultural produce, food and drink through to electronics, machinery, handicrafts, textiles and gifts, plus travel, hotel, banking and healthcare services. OCOP stands for One Commune One Product, the national scheme that promotes goods made by small local producers, and it is usually the most interesting aisle for a first-time visitor.

   Alongside the exhibition there is a programme of forums and matchmaking: the Indo-Pacific Economic Corridor Forum Da Nang 2026, a session on taking Vietnamese brands abroad through Amazon's cross-border e-commerce, an inbound international buyer delegation programme, and daily cultural performances for visitors.

   If you are thinking of exhibiting rather than visiting, Da Nang covers 100% of stand rental for organisations from East–West Economic Corridor countries, diplomatic missions and international bodies, and 50% for companies, cooperatives and trade promotion agencies taking part under the 2026 national programme.

   The previous edition, EWEC – Đà Nẵng 2025, ran from 1 to 6 October 2025; this year the fair moves to August.

   Three groups get the most out of it: exporters looking for distributors, investors who want the city's project list in one place, and ordinary visitors who come for regional food and craft goods at source. For the first two, the useful conversations happen in the buyer-matchmaking sessions rather than in the aisles.

   Come with a short, clear pitch and a list of people you actually want to meet — at a fair this size, preparation beats mileage.
