The Hanoi Creative Design Center is now in its first phase with the pilot operations at the Hanoi Museum, focusing on connecting, coordinating and providing information on creative design and hosting some activities and exchanges of creative spaces.

The city wants to develop another creative design center for the promotion and selling of OCOP products, products of trade villages in association with tourism development in localities across the city.

The capital city has built and support the development of creative spaces by organizing creative activities in pedestrians’ streets, connecting and enhancing the capacity of creative spaces, and forming creative spaces at craft villages.

Meanwhile, the Hanoi creative talent TV program is being broadcast by the Hanoi Radio and Television Station.

The three international-scale initiatives include the organization of a Hanoi Creative Design Festival (already held in 2022), the hosting of the UCCN Southeast Asia Forum (slated for November this year), and the building of a network of young creative designers through the organization of contests and activities linking creative spaces, universities, organizations and individuals.

Hanoi has also participated in all meetings and seminars of the UCCN Asia-Pacific as well as other relevant meetings and conference in many countries in the region and the world. At the same time, the city has also called for the engagement and support from departments, sectors, organizations, businesses and local residents as well as international partners in building a creative city.
