About us
Who are we?
XAVAN Inc. is an R&D consulting firm advancing Vietnam’s Cultural Industries. We explore, connect, and enable Vietnam’s rich cultural resources and human potential to create lasting change. Working at the intersection of research, culture, and markets, we turn knowledge, cultural assets, and local capabilities into opportunities for sustainable development.
Why are we doing this?
We believe meaningful change happens when people, culture, and markets are connected.
Our aspiration is to co-create interdisciplinary blueprints that can be replicated, adapted, and scaled across communities, sectors, and markets.
Our mission is to:
-
Support people from diverse backgrounds and with different abilities to participate meaningfully in the cultural economy.
-
Make cultural and creative practices more accessible, enabling communities to become active participants and creators.
-
Embrace cultural assets as living resources that connect the values of the past, the present and the future.
How are we doing this?
We bring together scholars, researchers, practitioners, and industry professionals to generate insights across design, culture, and markets.
We then work with clients and partners who are committed to creating meaningful change, translating research and ideas into practical solutions across three key areas:
-
Product R&D: Developing cultural products, services, and solutions that respond to real needs and market opportunities.
-
Supply Chain: Connecting people, resources, capabilities, and markets to build more inclusive and sustainable value chains.
-
Experience Design: Designing meaningful experiences that connect people with culture, places, products, and communities.
