Over the past few years, Vietnam’s innovative startup ecosystem has developed robustly to a level that is significant to the whole region. Hence, it is no exaggeration to say that Vietnam has become one of the hubs for innovation projects in the Asia-Pacific region, said Sergey Sinitsyn, adding that the most magnetic sectors to invest in the country include finance, education, technology, artificial intelligence, and blockchain technology.

Mr. Sinitsyn also gave some examples of foreign investment in Vietnam such as Singaporean Temasek’s participation in VNG Corporation’s project, Softbank & GIC’s investment in VNPAY, and Warburg Pincus’s investment in MoMo. Particularly, VNG Corporation became Vietnam’s first-ever “unicorn” start-up (reaching US$ 1 billion) following the investment of GIC.
