Smart lighting technology and eco-friendly, reusable materials will be used to explore sectors such as film, performing arts, gaming, television, and radio broadcasting.

The design will draw on a vivid color palette inspired by Vietnam’s cultural landscapes, iconic landmarks, cinematic works, architecture, and visual arts.

The exhibition space will include booths featuring cinema, performing arts, software and entertainment games, television and radio, design, and advertising.

This exhibition of 12 cultural industries is part of a national exhibition titled "80 Years of Independence, Freedom, and Happiness," presenting a comprehensive portrait of Vietnam's history and modern identity.

The showcase will highlight Vietnam’s most significant achievements in politics, the economy, society, defense, diplomacy, science and technology, health, education, culture, and tourism.

The event is expected to convene 34 provinces and cities, international organizations, and state and private enterprises. Each will be responsible for designing an exhibition space that reflects its contributions to national development.
