One of the key speakers at the event, Yang Hyang Ja, Member of the National Assembly of the Korean Government, Chairman of the Semiconductor Industry Committee of Korea, assessed Vietnam as a fast-receiving country of technology thanks to its young population with an average age of only 35.

One of the field that Korea and Vietnam can cooperate is developing the blockchain field in education. The two countries can also build a blockchain ecosystem with joint cooperation programs for Vietnamese and Korean businesses, which contribute to the development of blockchain management institutions and policies.

In Yang' speech, she highlighted that, in order to promote blockchain development, countries must have a suitable legal corridor to avoid paying the price of false testing.

Agreeing with Yang, a representative of the Vietnam Blockchain Association claimed that Vietnam is a market with a high level of Blockchain adoption, as well as the leading development of Blockchain technology. Currently, there are more than 10 Vietnamese creative startups with a market capitalization of over US $100 million and some Vietnamese "unicorn" start-ups has been spotted.

On the sidelines of the event, Mr. Truong Gia Bao - Chairman of DTS Group Digital Transformation Alliance, Chairman of (Non-fungible Token) NFT Vietnam Alliance - said that based on the latest indicators, Vietnam and Korea are leading countries in blockchain application in the world.

In particular, each year, Vietnam has 500-1,000 blockchain application startups. Vietnam also has a large team of programmers and is the world's top country in software exports. In Vietnam, Blockchain is widely applied in the fields of finance, agriculture (traceability), charity, education, and health - fields that require high transparency.

One of the applications of blockchain is digital currency. Many Vietnamese businesses can only establish their startups in this field if registering their businesses abroad, where digital currency is recognized as legal property.

"Blockchain is a new technology, so sustainability is still a big question. In 2022 and early 2023, many Blockchain corporations in the world have collapsed, so for now Vietnam is cautiously monitoring and updating solutions," said Truong Gia Bao.
