VIPC Summit 2025: Gathering the world's financial elite, expanding opportunities for Vietnamese businesses

The above information was announced by Mr. Vu Quoc Huy, Director of the National Innovation Center (NIC) at a press conference held on the afternoon of April 15 in Hanoi. This large-scale event aims to strongly attract capital sources for the development of science, technology and innovation, key pillars in Vietnam's sustainable growth strategy.

Press conference to introduce Vietnam Innovation and Investment Forum 2025 (VIPC Summit 2025).

The NIC Director believes that attracting investment resources, especially private capital, is the decisive lever for Vietnam to make a breakthrough in the era of innovation. Accordingly, VIPC Summit 2025 is a concrete action to realize the spirit of Resolution 57 of the Politburo on developing science, technology, innovation and national digital transformation.

The Forum will be an important catalyst to promote strong private capital flows into strategic technology fields, contributing to creating a dynamic, effective and sustainable innovation ecosystem.

The Vietnam Technology and Innovation Investment Report 2024 shows that nearly 100 investment funds have invested in domestic technology startups. Investors from Singapore lead the way with a total investment value of 529 million USD. Although down 17% compared to the previous year, this decrease is still considered positive in the context of the global market plummeting by 35%. This proves that Vietnam is emerging as a stable and attractive destination for international investors.

Not only maintaining its attractiveness, the Vietnamese market also recorded a shift in capital flows into high-tech sectors such as artificial intelligence, energy, semiconductors, etc. These signals clearly reflect the long-term investment strategy in future economic sectors, while also showing the resilience of high-quality human resources and strong open-door policies from the Government.

"Vietnam is entering a golden period to enhance its global competitiveness through innovation," Mr. Huy emphasized.

Sharing his views at the event, Mr. Vinnie Lauria, Founder of Golden Gate Ventures Fund, Member of VPCA Council expressed: "We are not only here to invest, but to accompany in creating the future. From a regional meeting in 2019, VIPC Summit has grown to become a global platform, deeply impacting the investment environment, capital calling standards, cross-border cooperation and the rise of a generation of bold and courageous Vietnamese founders".
