The Vietnamese book exhibition space is not only a place to introduce books and Vietnamese culture, but also demonstrates the strength of the Vietnamese publishing industry in the context of strong digital transformation.

One of Vietnam’s strategic goals at the Frankfurt Book Fair 2024 is to promote international cooperation. The Vietnamese delegation had working sessions with the leaders of the Frankfurt Fair Center to discuss the signing of a memorandum of understanding, aiming to become a guest of honor at the book fair in 2028.

Vietnam also attended many notable events at the Frankfurt Book Fair 2024 with the following contents: Southeast Asia Publishing Development Forum with the Philippines as the guest of honor in 2024; What risks does AI pose to writers; connecting literature and film for publishing development; audiobooks in the new era...

Also within the framework of the book fair, Vietnamese publishers met and negotiated copyrights with more than 50 international publishing units, opening up many opportunities for cooperation and development for the Vietnamese book market.

At this year’s Frankfurt Book Fair, the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) in the creative and publishing industries was a prominent topic. Experts from around the world discussed how AI could change the creative process, from writing to publishing to distribution. Meanwhile, many are concerned that AI could devalue creative work and impact the jobs of authors.
