On the morning of October 28, in Ninh Binh , within the framework of Vietnam International Digital Week 2025, the Artificial Intelligence Startups Forum took place - a gathering place for experts, businesses, research institutes and investors in the field of AI.

The forum was organized with the aim of introducing the policy environment supporting AI startup development in Vietnam; introducing the market and technological capacity of Vietnamese enterprises in this field. This is also an important forum to promote international cooperation, co-creation and creation of a sustainable Vietnamese AI ecosystem, taking innovation as the driving force for development.

Speaking at the event, Mr. Tran Anh Tu, Deputy Director of the Department of Information Technology Industry, Ministry of Science and Technology, said that entering the decade of artificial intelligence, each technology not only has a huge impact, but also reshapes every area of ​​life - from education, healthcare, transportation to entertainment and administration. AI is no longer an option, but a new development infrastructure that drives the economy . Vietnam is also transforming strongly, towards a knowledge-based economy, innovation and deep technology.

Artificial intelligence, digitalization and automation, together with open infrastructure, innovation ecosystems and high-quality human resources, have now become the foundation for growth and development. However, this comes with high requirements for governance capacity, sustainable development and respect for human values.

Vietnam is making efforts to build an advanced legal corridor for the development and application of artificial intelligence, ensuring the principles of transparency, safety, responsibility and encouragement of innovation. Along with that, new policies on research, open data, and support for innovative businesses will be implemented in the coming time.

At the event, Dr. Le Vu Toan, Startup Expert, Center for Startup Development, Agency for Startups and Technology Enterprises shared key policies in the National Strategy on AI to 2030, identifying AI as a strategic technology of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, with the goal of bringing Vietnam into the group of 4 leading ASEAN countries in AI research, development and application.

Along with that, the Draft Law on AI is being developed in a human-centered direction, ensuring ethical, fair, transparent and responsible factors, while applying a flexible governance model according to the risk level of each AI system - demonstrating Vietnam's humane and advanced approach to new technology.

Along with these policies, Vietnam is vigorously implementing Project 844 on developing the national innovation startup ecosystem, supporting startups through incubators, investment funds, mentoring networks and international connections. Acceleration programs such as AI Accelerator Challenge (AAC) and global programs such as AWS Activate, Google for Startups, NVIDIA Inception have been providing valuable resources for Vietnamese AI startups, contributing to promoting a strong wave of AI startups and deep integration with the world.

According to the Ministry of Science and Technology, in Vietnam, the AI ​​business and startup community is growing rapidly. Many businesses have begun applying AI in essential areas such as smart manufacturing, healthcare, finance and education.

Vietnamese startups are demonstrating their creativity, adaptability and ambition to expand globally. The presence of international technology corporations such as NVIDIA, Google, Meta and many strategic partners is a testament to the world’s confidence in the potential for cooperation with Vietnam in the field of artificial intelligence.

This year's Forum includes two in-depth discussion sessions: "Vietnam AI Story - From Collaborative Vision to Product Realization" and "Mastering the Platform, Multilateral Cooperation - Building a Sustainable Vietnam AI Ecosystem". The Forum brings together many pioneering technology enterprises such as OneMedic, MISA, MedCAT, IDUS, VNPT, LocaAI, NVIDIA, and investment funds such as VSV Capital. AI projects in healthcare, education, public administration and digital economy introduced at the Forum have shown that Vietnam AI is transforming from the stage of technology adoption to co-creation with the world.

The 2025 Artificial Intelligence Startup Forum is not only a meeting place for ideas and technology, but also a declaration of Vietnam's new development vision in the era of artificial intelligence - where technology, people and creativity together create a sustainable, humane and prosperous digital future.
