The conference aims to provide a comprehensive evaluation and discussion on several key areas including the analysis of the international and domestic context to provide strategic forecasts and orientations for Vietnam’s future leading up to 2045.
HCMC moved up 12 places to rank 98th among the world’s startup ecosystems, while Vietnam rose five positions to 50th globally, reaching its highest ranking to date.
