As a result, the first prize went to ‘bTaskee’, which offers on-demand home cleaning maid service. ‘TopCV’ offering job opportunities through curriculum vitae (CV) won the second prize, whilst ‘CyHome- intelligent apartment management and operation system’ received the third prize.

Under the rules of the final round, the founders of the 10 participating projects were required to implement 2 major tasks: one involved the introduction of their startup products and business plans, whilst the other focused on appealing for investment from domestic businesses and venture capital funds.

The founders of the 3 above-mentioned prize-winning projects will be eligible for joining in a training course in Israel to gain a deeper insight into startup models here.

Israel has earned the moniker of ‘Startup Nation’ mostly because it has largest number of startups per capita in the world.

Themed ‘Jumping to 4.0 - Automation and Intelligent Data’, SFC, the first of its kind in Viet Nam, was jointly launched in 15 November by the Viet Nam Youth Federation's Central Committee and concerned national government agencies.

The event attracted the participation of 100 startup projects across the country in total.

The contest focused on developing digital applications and platforms, integrating all intelligent data to optimise the process and production methods; emphasising technologies with wide spread effects such as 3D printing technology, biotechnology, automation technology, and robot technology.

During the 2-week-long SFC, startup developers received in-depth consultancy and exchange with leading experts in the aspects of startup, economics and finance, marketing, information technology, and business administration so that they can find solutions to their difficulties and complete their business models.
