AGENDA & CONTENT
Three forums. Three distinct programme tracks.
Each track follows its official InnoEx 2026 programme and speaker profiles.
Business Innovation Forum
The Advantage Reset — Reinvent or Defend?
Strategic forum for C-suite leaders examining data, AI, trust infrastructure and the capabilities businesses must rebuild for the next growth cycle.
Opening Ceremony — The Inflection Point: Where Global Shifts Refuel Business Reinvention
AI is becoming the baseline, value chains are being reconfigured and traditional advantages are fading. The opening frames this as a moment for leaders to redesign structures, capabilities and partnerships—not pursue incremental improvement.
13:30–17:00 · KEYNOTE
From Data to Advantage: Building Vietnam’s Trust Infrastructure
Why has available data not become a real competitive advantage? The keynote examines trust infrastructure, lower transaction costs, cross-market collaboration and the capabilities Vietnamese businesses must build by 2030 to turn data into an economic asset.
13:30–17:00 · PANEL 01
Pivot or Defense?
The panel tests the real source of advantage and the gap between Vietnamese businesses and the global frontier across compute infrastructure, enterprise execution and policy. It then asks what businesses must prepare—and whom they must partner with—if they choose to pivot.
13:30–17:00 · PANEL 02
Rebuilding Advantage
Assuming a business has chosen to pivot, the discussion focuses on what should be rebuilt, which first priority creates the greatest leverage under limited resources, how rebuilding differs from 10–15 years ago and whether one formula can work across industries.
13:30–17:00 · KEYNOTE 02
Better Choice Awards
A platform recognising practical and innovative products, services, technologies and businesses that create tangible value for consumers and society.
KEY MESSAGES
What matters beyond the stage
01
Advantage must be rebuilt, not protected
AI, data and sustainability create value only when they change decisions, operations, customer outcomes and the economics of the business.
02
Curated pipelines make the platform investable
Startup Wheel, QVIC, Green Innovation and Plastic Innovation bring different venture stages into one platform without collapsing their specialist support models.
03
Corporate demand should organise innovation
Specific operating problems and procurement pathways make startup matching more useful than broad networking or visibility alone.
04
Commercial conversion is the real success metric
Booths, pitches and meetings matter when they produce pilots, sales, investment, market entry or a clearly owned next step.
05
An alliance is stronger than a one-off event
InnoEx links businesses, government, associations, universities, investors and innovation organisations through a 25,000+ member network and an annual August convening point.

AN ECOSYSTEM PERSPECTIVE
InnoEx is best understood as a multi-pipeline conversion platform: founder programmes supply selected ventures; forums make corporate and policy demand visible; exhibition, pitching and matching create qualified interactions; and disciplined follow-up converts those interactions into pilots, sales, investment and international market access.
SWISS EP
Connect partner organisations and Da Nang startups with corporate demand, international delegations and commercial opportunities, then track qualified leads after the exhibition.
