The official noted that after a year with strong rise in the funding of startup in Viet Nam at 800 million USD in 2019, this year the funding is likely to reach only 200 million USD.

However, the startup community of Viet Nam has seen progress as many startups have been placed in the same position with their foreign peers in providing services in many areas such as transportation and e-commerce, he said.

From the experience in combating the pandemic, he stressed that the community strength is significant, especially in a world with unpredictable changes.

The Government’s efforts and the joining hands of the community will help build a database that is helpful for business community, including startups, the official stated.

He also advised domestic startups to become more confident and foster their linkage to made bigger steps forwards, creating new motivations for the faster and more sustainable growth of the nation.
