With the signing and opening of the CCE Hub, the parties agreed to work together to promote start-up activities in the field of climate change through the use of start-up resources, exploiting technology, thereby mitigating climate change and growing the economy with clean energy. The CCE Hub, located at the Posts and Telecommunications Institute of Technology, is a dedicated creative space designed to provide a community space for founders and start-ups.

The Center’s goal is to facilitate the creation of businesses that pioneer emerging sustainable solutions or innovate existing solutions; focusing on sustainability, including: clean energy, sustainable agriculture , climate finance, climate resilience and resilience, and resilience projects. Through capital support, capacity building, technical assistance, access to mentorship, and networking, the U.S. Department of State and its partners can help climate change entrepreneurs establish a foothold in the marketplace, deploy effective technologies and solutions, and create greater global impact.

Speaking at the event, Ms. Dorothy McAuliffe, Special Envoy for Global Partnerships at the US Department of State, said: The US Department of State, together with our institutional partners, is ready to use this hub in the coming years to identify and bring together entrepreneurs focused on sustainable development and equip them with the tools and resources needed to bring appropriate climate change solutions to market. We are confident that the CCE Hub will contribute to the development of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership established between Vietnam and the US during President Biden's recent visit as we work together to address the climate change crisis. The CCE Hub is a dedicated innovation space designed to provide a community space for founders and startups. The Hub's goal is to facilitate the establishment of pioneering businesses that develop sustainable solutions or innovate on existing solutions. These are clean energy, sustainable agriculture, climate finance, resilience and resilience to climate change and other recovery projects. - Ms. Dorothy McAuliffe shared./.
