The fest will be co-organised by the People’s Committee of the south-central province of Khanh Hoa and the Ministry of Science and Technology as part of the Techfest Vietnam 2022.
The event, the first of its kind to be held in Khanh Hoa, is intended to create and promote the innovative startup ecosystem in the province and the south-central and Central Highlands regions at large, and connect it with the national and global ecosystems, a local representative said.
The festival will offer an opportunity for State management agencies and all-level authorities to review policies towards startups and innovations.
It will feature seminars with the participation of domestic and foreign experts, a contest seeking startup and innovation talents and an exhibition displaying about 500 technology and OCOP products.

Techfest Vietnam 2022, the annual and largest event for Vietnamese innovative start-ups, is jointly organised by the Ministry of Science and Technology and other agencies and localities. Last year, the national innovative startup ecosystem attracted more than 1.5 billion USD, the highest amount of investment capital.
