This is the largest and most intensive start-up competition in Viet Nam, which has been running for seven consecutive years.

The contest is organised by the Business Startup Support Centre (BSSC).

The annual competition officially kicked off and allowed registration in March. The final round and awards ceremony was expected be held in August along with the Viet Nam Startup Day 2020.

However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is expected that the semi-final and final round for the international group will be delayed to November.
