Viettel Group will partner with businesses whose solutions and projects are selected from the ongoing third Viet Solutions Contest 2021.

Co-organised by Viettel and the Ministry of Information and Communications from June 10, the contest looks for technological ideas and products in the fields of healthcare, education, finance-banking, agriculture, transport - logistics, energy, natural resources - environment, industrial production, entertainment solutions - utilities, and business management.

It attracted 257 entries from eight countries around the world after three months, and 16 potential solutions and products have been selected so far.

The organisers said products and solutions for health, education, entertainment and utilities accounted for more than 40 per cent of the total, while entries related to technology in business management made up 26 per cent.

The 32 best teams in the preliminary round competed in Pitch Day, which took place on October 5 and 6, to select the ten best teams for the final round of the competition on October 16.

The contest’s winner will receive a cash prize of VND300 million (US$12,000), while winners of the second and third prize will be awarded VND200 million and VND150 million, respectively.

Winning teams will have the chance to sign contracts with Viettel to implement their ideas. — VNS
