Vietnam's capital Hanoi is pursuing ambitious AI development goals, with China offering joint research initiatives, per Technode Global.

The city is also preparing for a major upgrade to its metro system, with JCB introducing contactless tap-to-ride technology in early 2027, as reported by Technode Global.

Meanwhile, Hanoi's economy benefits from a growing K-pop cultural trend, which is driving increased economic value in the socialist market, according to Chosun.com.

The city's aviation sector is also expanding, with Emirates planning to operate A350 aircraft on all flights to and from Hanoi starting December, Aerotime.aero reports.
