Attending the launch of the technology group CMC Corporation’s Innovation Centre and its CMC Creative Fund on February 26, the deputy PM said that Vietnam has witnessed many young entrepreneurs succeed with creative ideas and unique startup projects.

However, to help the startup community develop more strongly, it is necessary to have the support of the Government, enterprises, consultants and investment funds in all processes of calling for investment, facilitating registration, protecting intellectual property, providing tax incentives, connecting creative space and creating a startup ecosystem.

Congratulating the CMC on the inauguration of its new centre, Deputy PM Dam said that this can be considered a milestone for the development of the group and the startup community in Vietnam as a whole.

The CMC Innovation Centre, stationed on the 19th floor of CMC Tower, No. 11 Duy Tan Street in Hanoi’s Cau Giay District and covering 600 square metres, will serve as a centre for training and sharing on technology, as well as a bridge for connections and support for innovative projects within the CMC, as well as the technology community.
