DESCRIPTION:National Startup Support Center (NSSC) – National Agency for Technology Entrepreneurship and Commercialization (NATEC)\, together with co-organizers (Startup World Cup Vietnam\, Impact Square\, and Management and Sustainable Development Institute – MSD United Way Vietnam)\, officially launched the National Innovation Technopreneur Contest 2025. This contest is a flagship activity within the framework of Vietnam National Innovation Festival – TECHFEST Vietnam\, the country’s largest annual event for the innovative startup community. \nThis year’s contest is themed “Green Growth and Digital Transformation – Innovation for a Sustainable Vietnam”\, with the goal of discovering\, supporting\, and honoring innovative startups founded by Vietnamese entrepreneurs at home and abroad. Participants will gain not only access to investment opportunities and funding but also connections with a multidisciplinary expert network\, domestic and international venture capital funds\, as well as intensive training and mentoring programs. \nThe 2025 contest embodies the spirit and momentum of Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW\, issued on December 22\, 2024\, by the Political Bureau on breakthroughs in the development of science\, technology\, innovation\, and national digital transformation\, laying the foundation for Vietnam’s startup ecosystem to integrate globally and grow sustainably. Key highlights of this year’s contest include: \n\nFocus on Green Growth and Digital Transformation: For the first time\, ESG standards\, social impact\, and sustainable transition are set as core evaluation criteria.\nLargest-ever support package: The total value of financial prizes and support packages for the top startups amounts to up to USD 50\,000. In particular\, the champion startup will have the opportunity to compete at the Startup World Cup in San Francisco (USA) for a chance to win a grand prize of USD 1 million.\nIntensive\, hands-on training: The TOP 100 startups will join a capacity-building program tailored for founders.\nGlobal connectivity: With support from three co-organizers and top venture funds from more than 30 countries.\nInternational exposure: The TOP  10 teams will not only compete in the national finals but also gain direct access to global startup platforms and ecosystems.\n\nEligible participants include startups with founders or co-founders who are Vietnamese or of Vietnamese origin\, living inside or outside Vietnam\, as well as foreign startups officially registered in Vietnam. Applications must feature innovative products\, services\, or technologies that have reached the prototype stage. \nThe application period runs from August 26 to September 30\, 2025. After the screening round\, the TOP 100 startups will proceed to the training and preliminary selection.
