“Vietnam is entering a critical window to build its next generation of startups”
With the mission of discovering and empowering innovative, technology-driven ventures that contribute to sustainable development and positive social impact, we proudly launches the MIT $50K Vietnam Competition, marking its inaugural presence in Vietnam.
Inspired by the prestigious MIT $100K Entrepreneurship Competition in the United States, MIT $50K Vietnam is designed to bridge the gap between early-stage ideas, entrepreneurial talent, and access to investment.
Ventures must leverage technology as a core driver—not just a tool—to create scalable, differentiated solutions.
Proposals must demonstrate a credible path to commercial sustainability with the clear business model and revenue potential.
Ventures should generate measurable positive impact—for Vietnam, ASEAN or the world—alongside financial returns.
