Da Nang Online
The Da Nang Venture and Angel Summit 2025 (DAVAS 2025) is emerging as a key strategic platform for venture capitalists, angel investors, and the innovation-driven startup community. More than just a networking event, the summit aims to strengthen the investment landscape in Central Viet Nam by positioning Da Nang as a compelling destination for both domestic and international capital.
Taking place May 29 – 30, DAVAS 2025 is organised by the Centre for Innovative Startup Support under the Da Nang Department of Science and Technology, in collaboration with Quest Ventures and HVA Investment JSC.
In 2025, DAVAS returns with an expanded scope, welcoming over 20 prominent investors and venture capital firms from Singapore, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong (China), Viet Nam, and other countries.
Key participating names include Quest Ventures, Do Ventures, ThinkZone Ventures, Genesia Ventures, Vertex Ventures, FundGo, WeAngels Capital, Trive, Sunwah Innovation Center, Daiwa Corporate Investment, Makara Capital, JN Capital & Growth Advisory, Dream Incubator, and Lean Ventures, collectively managing assets totaling more than US$3.5 billion.
The programme also features a series of investment-focused panel discussions, the signing of strategic innovation partnerships, and the launch of the SOCIAL IMPACT CATALYST (SIC) student startup network in Da Nang, designed to empower the next generation of changemakers.
Meanwhile, the launch of new innovation platforms, including the SOCIAL IMPACT CATALYST (SIC) student startup network, the YBA Startup & Investment Club, and the Da Nang – Hong Kong Innovation Space, is expected to expand the city’s base of coworking spaces, increase startup density and catalyze growth-oriented clusters.
In parallel, startup pitching sessions and engagements with international mentors will help elevate the capabilities of local founders, enhancing skills, growing team sizes, and laying the groundwork for future unicorns.
