Awarding ceremony of the 2023 Science Initiative Competition

The 2023 Science Innovation Competition attracted more than 130 applications with more than 30 solution products entering the Final round.

Assessing the quality of the initiatives, Mr. Vu Chi Cong, representative of VinaCapital Investment Fund, shared: "I see a positive signal when there are many interesting initiatives and solutions on environmental protection or solving a certain social problem". At the same time, Mr. Cong also hopes that these solutions can be put into practice or applied in the practical business model of the enterprise.

Sharing more about VinaCapital's investment "taste" with investment initiatives, Mr. Cong said that the fund prioritizes investing in businesses and business models that are sustainable or contribute to solving social problems . In fact, there are not many startups with breakthrough ESG solutions at present, but the number has been increasing recently.
