Promoting international cooperation in venture capital

On the afternoon of December 13th, the workshop "Connecting Domestic and International Investors" within the framework of the Techfest 2025 event took place in Hanoi .

Vietnam is entering a new phase of development with new opportunities and challenges. The workshop aims to build and share a strategic vision for Vietnam's innovative startup ecosystem until 2030, looking towards 2045, with a focus on promoting international cooperation in venture capital.

Through in-depth discussions, the event creates a networking space for international investors, venture capital funds, startups, government agencies, and research institutions, thereby promoting investment flows into priority technology sectors such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Blockchain, Robotics, Internet of Things (IoT), Digital Twin, renewable energy, high-tech agriculture , and ESG.

Speaking at the conference, Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Lan Trung, Vice President and General Secretary of the Association for Liaison with Overseas Vietnamese, emphasized that Vietnam is entering a new era – an era of national progress, with both opportunities and challenges intertwined. According to him, recent important resolutions of the Politburo, such as Resolution 57, Resolution 68, and Resolution 59, have laid the foundation for breakthrough steps, shaping a new development strategy for science and technology, the economy, and international integration.

"The special feature of these resolutions is that they not only strongly unlock domestic resources, but also create a profound ripple effect on the Vietnamese community abroad," said Mr. Nguyen Lan Trung.

Currently, the Vietnamese diaspora abroad comprises approximately 6.5 million people, residing in 130 countries and territories. Among them, there is a large intellectual and business community, with nearly 500,000 holding university degrees or higher, many of whom hold important positions in academic research, technology, and the global economic and trade markets. This resource is increasingly playing a crucial role in addressing the challenges of national development in the context of innovation and deep international integration.

Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Lan Trung, Vice President and General Secretary of the Association for Liaison with Overseas Vietnamese, delivered a speech at the conference.

Mr. Nguyen Quang Huy, Chairman of the Global Economic Union Council and Chairman of the VNSIF Venture Capital Fund, believes that the government's establishment of national venture capital funds to guide angel investors into startup projects is a correct step. This will enable businesses and entrepreneurs to become important pillars of economic development.

Besides connecting resources, the workshop also emphasized the role of international cooperation in learning from successful models such as Singapore and Israel, thereby enhancing the operational capacity of the startup ecosystem and the ability to attract venture capital for Vietnamese businesses.

By promoting high-quality venture capital flows into technology sectors, the workshop is expected to contribute to creating value-added jobs, boosting technology exports, and supporting the implementation of national programs such as Program 844/QD-TTg and the digital economy development goals as outlined in the Party's 13th National Congress Resolution.

On the occasion of the conference, a strategic cooperation agreement was also signed between the International Fund and the VNSIF venture capital fund and its partners.
