"The event also contributes to developing a comprehensive partnership between the two nations," he stressed.
At the event, many Vietnamese startups that won the national-level Innovation Startup Talent Competition had the opportunity to meet with 30 venture capital funds in pitching sessions. The participating startups include Gostream, FINA, and Sobanhang.
The festival also brought together management agencies and organizations involved in innovative startup programs to share knowledge and practices to improve the two countries' supportive activities.
