Join the star-studded panel and watch them tackle the hottest topic in tech at Echelon TOP100 Roadshow in Vietnam.

Not too long ago, Vietnam was widely seen as a closed economy that had its doors closed to external influence. Much has changed since then with a burgeoning tech renaissance that had singlehandedly jumpstarted the start-up culture. The Echelon TOP100 event serves as a platform for local thinktanks to showcase creative concepts from their own cultural lens – uncover the methodology behind the inner workings of the idea generation process to problem-solve and catering to the needs of the larger community.

The great unifier at the end of the day points towards our very own Echelon Asia Summit in Singapore this June 28-29.

We have put together an insightful panel with Hau Ly as moderator alongside representatives from JN Capital and Growth Advisory, Expara, and Patamar Capital to tackle the question “Will 2018 will be the breakthrough year for Vietnam’s tech ecosystem?” – and what radical initiatives need to take place to realise the notion.
