KEY MESSAGES

What matters beyond the stage

01

Dealflow needs follow-through

Pitching is the entry point; value is created when meetings progress to diligence, pilots, term sheets or the next investor conversation.

02

Da Nang can convene regional capital

DAVAS links city policy, international investors, founder pipelines and sector communities in one investable narrative.

03

Community tracks strengthen the funnel

Web3 Builders’ Summit and the exhibition widen the pathway from community participation to teams, products and companies.

04

Investor–startup fit matters

Curated matching by stage, thesis and market need is more useful than maximizing the number of introductions.

05

Policy must unlock capital

The Ministry speech positions catalytic public capital, Deeptech Hubs, controlled sandboxes and global talent networks as core infrastructure for Vietnam’s innovation economy.

06

DAVAS is a follow-through mechanism

DISSC’s post-event role is to collect investor feedback and organise direct or online follow-up so conversations can progress toward real transactions.

AN ECOSYSTEM PERSPECTIVE

DAVAS gives Da Nang a locally anchored infrastructure for capital access. Its long-term value depends on converting visibility into measurable investment outcomes: qualified follow-ups, diligence, pilots, financing and stronger local angel capability.
