The event seeks digital transformation solutions to enhance the capacity of small-and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
“We focus on improving SMEs’ governance capacity, strengthening their ties with foreign invested and major companies, supporting Vietnamese SMEs to grow strongly to proactively join and move to higher positions in global supply chains, and reinforcing connectivity and the effectiveness of policy dialogue between the Government and businesses,” said Vu Quoc Huy, Director of the Vietnam National Innovation Centre (NIC).
Apart from prizes totaling 300,000 USD, winning solutions will be implemented in Vietnamese localities. Their inventors will receive assistance from NIC, Meta and other partners, including Goldsun Media, Up Co-working Space, Amazon Web Services, Google and Viettel, to improve capacity, research and develop products, and advertise solutions.
