The SHi Accelerator Journey 2022 (SHi-VTS 2022) was launched on Wednesday by the Da Nang Songhan Incubator (SHi).

The purpose of the programme is to promote the commercialisation of tourism products and services, cuisine, agriculture, education, etc., as well as boost technological innovations and the application of science and technology.

Five startups registered to participate in SHi-VTS 2022, namely Smile Eye, Serie Choice, Green Health, Trip Social and Vizon.

These startups will join in an intensive training course (bootcamp) under the guidance of experienced and highly specialised experts.

After the bootcamp period ends, each startup will take part in one-to-one working and counseling sessions with SHi’s domestic and foreign experts and advisors who own creative capabilities, entrepreneurial thinking, a rich breadth of experience in startup activities, and innovative technologies.

Additionally, the participants will have a chance to connect with network of angel investors and partners of the VTS programme.

They also will be supported with free workspace, marketing and communications services, and management tools.

Participating in the SHi-VTS 2022, startup project developers will have the opportunity to join the innovation ecosystem built by SHi over the past 5 years.

Also, they will be facilitated to develop markets, and do some networking with investors and startup investment support funds at both home and abroad.

Moreover, the participants will have the chance to receive investment up to US$100,000/project. Notably, SHi will continue to accompany the projects continuously for two years after the end of the programme with the goals of supporting them on such issues as market development, and appealing for funding and divestment.
