For
the last few years, Vietnam has constantly gone up in the Global Startup Ecosystem Index, the Global Innovation Index (GII) and the Global Competitiveness Index (GCI). However, the investment potential of the Vietnamese innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem has not been exploited to the best. This is partly due to the lack of visibility of Vietnam’s advanced technologies and growing startups in the eyes of foreign investors.
