AN ECOSYSTEM PERSPECTIVE
Vietnam Innovation Day is more than a national showcase. It is a concentrated map of the institutions, technologies, capital providers and market actors shaping Vietnam’s innovation system. For Da Nang, the practical opportunity is to arrive with selected use cases and named counterparties, then convert national exposure into pilots, research commercialisation, supply-chain participation, investment and institutional partnerships.
SWISS EP
Use the national platform to connect Da Nang’s priority sectors with relevant policy owners, strategic-technology leaders, research institutions and finance providers, then convert selected meetings into commercialisation cases, pilots, investment and institutional partnerships.
