HCM CITY — Startups from Taiwan and Việt Nam presented a number of scalable AI-powered solutions for manufacturing and enterprise operations at the Vietnam –Taiwan Tech Solution Day in HCM City on July 15.

Organised by Startup Island TAIWAN in collaboration with the Vietnam National Innovation Center (NIC), FPT Smart Cloud and Digiwin, the event brought together over 30 tech entrepreneurs, government officials, corporate leaders.

It served as a platform for showcasing deployment-ready AI technologies, investment strategies and international innovation partnerships.

Hank Han, director general of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in HCM City, said in his opening remarks that the event is an important milestone in deepening ties between Taiwan and Việt Nam.

Nguyễn Thị Lệ Quyên, acting head of the enterprise support department at NIC, said Việt Nam is becoming a highly promising destination for global investment, particularly in high-tech and R&D, thanks to its stable growth, skilled workforce and favourable demographics.

Taiwan is Việt Nam’s fourth largest investor, with its investments exceeding US$40.9 billion.

The Vietnamese Government is pushing ahead with a transformation agenda through its National Master Plan for 2021–30 that prioritises the digital and green economies and high-tech sectors, Quyên said.

Incentives are being offered to investors in electronics, semiconductors, renewable energy, R&D, digital economy, and high-tech agriculture, she said.

A highlight of the event was the signing of an MoU between Startup Island TAIWAN and FPT Smart Cloud for a strategic partnership for the AI Acceleration Programme to integrate Taiwanese AI startups with Việt Nam’s enterprise ecosystem.

The initiative aims to fast-track proof-of-concept development and real-world deployment by aligning Taiwan’s innovation strengths with Việt Nam’s implementation capacity.
