The British Council is pleased to present Vision for Creativity 2025 – a new publication offering an up-to-date overview of the creative ecosystem in Việt Nam. This initiative has been part of our on-going work in Creative Economy since 2014, where we carried out extensive exercises to map the growing creative sector. We hope that this 2025 version will offer exciting updates to creative professionals, cultural managers, policy makers, and those who are interested in investing or participating in the sector. In this newest edition, we are intrigued by the visions of those who we see as sector-builders as they gaze towards the future for creativity in Việt Nam.
The focus on Vision for Creativity 2025 is on discovering highlights of the creative ecosystem in Đà Lạt, Đà Nẵng – Hội An, Hà Nội, Huế, and Hồ Chí Minh City. This does not mean that the creative ecosystem only exists in these localities. It perhaps indicates the considerable number of creative individuals and organisations who are based there, and the high level of creative activities taking place in these localities. We hope that this publication will reach many parts of the country, and inspire people to join the professional network that makes up the creative sector. We believe that a better connected creative sector will stimulate exciting collaboration across Việt Nam, and between Việt Nam and the UK.
