HA NOI (Biz Hub) — Vietnamese information and communications technology sector start-ups are being invited to participate in a start-up competition to represent Viet Nam at Start Tel Aviv 2015 in Israel in mid-September.

The competition is being jointly organised by the Embassy of Israel in Viet Nam, the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Business Studies and Assistance Centre.

One founder-member of the winning team will go to Israel for a five-day study tour to learn about the ecosystem of Tel Aviv, along with representatives from about 20 other countries.

This is the first time Viet Nam has been invited to participate in Start Tel Aviv, an international event held as part of the DLD Tel Aviv Innovation Festival. The festival will bring together innovators and entrepreneurs, and will have events, conferences and meet-ups focusing on different aspects of digital, technological, social and urban innovations.

The competitors are required to email their applications, including general information on start-ups and business plans, in both Vietnamese and English, to political@hanoi.mfa.gov.il, before April 30.

The winner is expected to be announced in May. — VNS
