Vietnamese firms showcased solutions for payment services on smartphones, online management for enterprises and automated hydroponic farming to improve productivity.
Meanwhile, the RoK side focused on presenting smart warehouse technology for small- and medium-sized enterprises, driving risk assessment devices and money transfer technology.
According to VSVA Director Han Ngoc Tuan Linh, the event aimed to promote cooperation among start-ups from Vietnam and the East Asian country.
As capital provided by Vietnamese investors is limited, the Vietnamese start-ups should work to attract investors from Singapore, the RoK and Malaysia, among others, he added.
