Launch of the
Vietnam Innovation & Tech Investment Report 

Co-authored by the Vietnam Nation Innovation Center (NIC) and Do Ventures, the report provides valuable insights for startups, investors, policymakers, and other ecosystem players, as they seek to understand the dynamics of the digital economy in Vietnam and partnership opportunities.

To highlight the latest trends in investment for innovation and startups in Vietnam in 2024, NIC and Do Ventures joined forces to organize the Vietnam Innovation Forum 2024. The forum centered around the theme "Transforming into a High-Tech Nation," drawing notable participants including leaders from the Ministry of Planning and Investment, investors, and experts from both domestic and international backgrounds.

Amidst unpredictable shifts in the global economic landscape, innovation has played an increasingly important role in ensuring the country's sustainable economic development. At the heart of this transformation is the unwavering commitment of the Vietnamese government. With a focus on innovation and entrepreneurship, the government has implemented a range of initiatives to create a favorable environment for tech companies.

In recent years, Vietnam has emerged as one of the most exciting destinations for tech investment in Southeast Asia. Vietnam posted the highest growth in its digital economy in Southeast Asia for two consecutive years in 2022 and 2023. According to Google's report, Vietnam's digital economy is expected to grow 20% per year in the period 2023 - 2025 and is on track to reach about 45 billion USD in 2025.
