INVITATION  

Innovative start-up is a strong trend in many fields, not only in Vietnam but also around the world. Innovative start-up  is not just about the creation of a business that offers new products or services, but also about the improvements in the way that businesses are managed and organized. Innovative start-up , therefore, is generally synonymous with ‘smart-up’; this new term describing advancements in business operations making them more effective and efficient.

Modern management methods thanks to ‘Smart-up’ bring high economic efficiency and lower risks. In this era, ‘Smart-up’ is highly associated with digital transformation and an increased reliance on technology.

To study theories, trends and technical issues of ‘Smart-up’, as well as to share experiences of ‘Smart-up’ in various fields, under the sponsorship of Vietnam National University in Hà Nội, IFI and OIF co-organizes, in collaboration with TIBCO Group (USA) and Institute for Africa and Middle East Studies (IAMES, Vietnam), a forum on the topic of "From Start-up to Smart-up".

The international forum organizers would like to invite scientists, experts, entrepreneurs, investors, entrepreneurs to join and share their experiences.
