Opening the ‘runway’ for Ha Noi’s cultural industry to take off

In an interview with the Viet Nam Government Portal, Mr. Nguyen Hung Quang – Managing Partner of NHQuang&Associates and an expert involved in drafting the Law on Capital City 2026 – noted that the revised Capital Law creates a new institutional framework for the development of Ha Noi’s cultural industries, positioning culture as both an endogenous resource and a source of soft power for the Capital.

The article highlights several special mechanisms, including investment incentives, tax and land support policies, the development of cultural industry hubs and the night-time economy, as well as measures to attract strategic investors and high-quality talent in the cultural and creative sectors.

According to Mr. Quang, Ha Noi should build a clear “Ha Noi brand” strategy and identify key cultural industry sectors that align with the city’s strengths, particularly by leveraging heritage, arts, and creativity to drive economic growth and strengthen Ha Noi’s cultural position in international integration.
