A central focus of VIPREMIUM 2026 is its robust business matchmaking program. This initiative facilitates direct, one-on-one meetings between exhibiting companies and potential buyers and business partners. These sessions are crucial for businesses to not only showcase their products but also to gain insights into market demands, identify suitable collaborators, and lay the groundwork for long-term development strategies within Vietnam.
Complementing the business-focused activities, VIPREMIUM 2026 also integrates cultural experiences. The K-Culture Experience Zone offers visitors immersive activities like wearing Hanbok for photos, participating in traditional games such as Dalgona candy challenges, Ddakji card flipping, Jegichagi shuttlecock kicking, and Ojami fabric bag tossing. This blend of commerce and culture aims to enhance engagement and provide a holistic experience for attendees. Lee In Ho, Vice Chairman of KITA, emphasized Vietnam's importance as a key market for Korean consumer goods, particularly cosmetics and food, and expressed confidence in VIPREMIUM's role as an effective bridge for bilateral trade.
