Following the success of the event 2 years ago, EuroSphere continues its mission of connecting and blending the two cultures of Western Europe and East Asia, with an exhibition gathering more than 50 long-standing brands in the food and beverage, fashion, jewelry, cosmetics, perfume, interior, automobile, education, real estate and tourism industries. This is the first year EuroSphere has expanded its scale to the service industry, aiming at Vietnamese people who want to invest in Europe.
In particular, EuroSphere 2019 will be open free of charge to visitors throughout the 3 days of the exhibition. The exhibition is sponsored by Alila Villas Koh Russey, Amanoi, Cargoteam, Drive Agency, Hoegaarden, HTC, Lys Events, Moet Hennessy, and Pernod Ricard Vietnam. The event's media support units are Oriental Media, Hanoi Grapevine and Investment Bridge. This is a rare opportunity for Ho Chi Minh City residents to experience "Made in EU" products firsthand, have direct dialogue with businesses to learn about services and, most of all, enjoy a truly European space right in the heart of the city.
With the “wave” of Western European culture increasingly attracting young Vietnamese people, the organizers have decided to turn the exhibition into a friendly space with many attractive activities for young people. EuroSphere will have the participation of Vlogger Giang Oi - one of the 4 most influential names on social networks today. As a former British student known to many young people for her straightforward and lively style, Giang Oi will bring to EuroSphere the sharing article “Lost in Europe”, telling about her experiences living, studying and working in a foreign land.
New in this year's exhibition, Ambassador Bruno Angelet - Head of the European Union Delegation to Vietnam said: "We hope EuroSphere 2019 will bring the most authentic European experience to Vietnamese consumers who are looking for a better quality product for their lives. The free entrance to EuroSphere also motivates exhibitors to find more customers and partners." Also according to Mr. Bruno, "with the EU-Vietnam Trade Agreement about to be signed, the opportunities opened up by EuroSphere will become a solid premise for businesses on both sides."
Ms. Mayte Pernas, EVBN Project Director, shared: “The activities throughout the exhibition are an unmissable part. We try to bring interesting changes over the years, not only with specialized seminars on investment and education, but also with virtual reality experience booths, facial care consultations from French experts, or enjoying free Hoegaarden beer during happy hours. EuroSphere will not only be a business bridge between EU and Vietnamese enterprises, but also an annual destination that Vietnamese consumers look forward to.”
