Vietnam is one of the most dynamic emerging economies in Southeast Asia. Its robust economy is supported by strong domestic demand and an export-oriented manufacturing sector. It has a population of 100 million with 70% below the age of 35. It has an emerging middle class that stands at 13% and is expected to reach 26% within ten years.
A tech-savvy population coupled with a propensity to spend provides many opportunities and challenges to solve for tech startups expanding in the region.

The program has given me mentors and contact in Vietnam that I would otherwise not have. Through the fireside chats, I learned on-ground details of the Vietnam market that would have been difficult to find online. The mentors gave good feedback for product-led growth and market opportunities. The businesses that I was matched with gave me highly valued leads.
