Vietnam’s Tech Rush

Vietnam’s young tech entrepreneurs are transforming the country into Southeast Asia’s Silicon Valley.

Communist Vietnam’s start-up scene is booming.

Young, highly skilled entrepreneurs are grabbing the attention – and cheque books – of international investors and turning the country into one of Southeast Asia’s most exciting breeding grounds for tech innovation.
