INVITATION  

Innovative start-up is a strong trend in many fields, not only in Vietnam but also around the world. Innovative start-up  is not only about the creation of a business that offers new products or services, but also the improvements in the way, in which businesses are managed and organized. Innovative start-up, therefore, is generally synonymous with "smart-up"; a new term describing advancements in business operations that make them more effective. "Smart-up" is highly associated with digital transformation and an increased reliance on technology.

As co-organizers, IFI, MOFA and OIF are grateful for the collaboration of TIBCO Group (USA), the Institute for Africa and Middle East Studies (IAMES, Vietnam) and the Enterprise Development Foundation (EDF, VCCI) a forum on the topic of "From Start-up to Smart-up".

The co-organizers would like to invite scientists, experts, entrepreneurs, investors, entrepreneurs to join and share their experiences.
