The launch of Tech Vietnam Advocates is part of the Southeast Asia-UK Tech Week, which is organized by the UK government for the second time and attracts the participation of technology leaders and top innovative companies from the UK and Southeast Asia. With Bangkok, Thailand, and Ho Chi Minh City as the main destinations, the Southeast Asia-UK Tech Week lasts for one week in these two cities to share information and bridge the technology ecosystem between the UK and Southeast Asia, according to a statement from Tech Vietnam Advocates. The event in Ho Chi Minh City takes place from March 6-8.
During the Southeast Asia-UK Tech Week, industry leaders and experts in the technology field gather to share valuable information and knowledge about the Fintech industry.
The launch of Tech Vietnam Advocates opens up a new chapter for the technology ecosystem in Vietnam, as well as for the future connection of the technology ecosystems between Vietnam and the United Kingdom, according to Tech Vietnam Advocates.
