HA NOI (Biz Hub) — Focusing on the message "Startup +" (Startup Plus), to create a helpful start-up environment, HATCH! FAIR aims to cement the connection and relationship between start-ups, businesses, investors and mentors.

Besides hi-tech (the main theme of this year), start-ups for education and farming are being encouraged to participate at the two-day event in Ha Noi on October 11 and 12.

To ensure it focuses effectively on the issue, HATCH! FAIR 2014 has three main events: HATCH! BATTLE (start-up competition), HATCH! ARENA (start-up exhibition) and HATCH! STAGE (start-up pitching and launching to attract investment).

HATCH! BATTLE will start a month before the first day of HATCH! FAIR 2014 to select the most potential start-ups and products competing in the exclusive pitching and launching of HATCH! STAGE.

HATCH! FAIR 2014 is being organised by HATCH! PROGRAM, a social franchise focused on providing assistance to start-ups. Its ambitious goal is "One start-up per day", assisting every start-up to launch with an open mind and willingness to accept challenges. — VNS
