During the meeting, representatives from both Hao Shi Accelerator and BSSC engaged in fruitful discussions, exploring potential collaboration opportunities to support startups in both regions. Both sides expressed mutual interest in working together to foster innovation and expand market opportunities for emerging businesses.

This meeting paves the way for stronger ties between the startup ecosystems of Vietnam and Taiwan. SIA is optimistic about the significant impact this collaboration will have, not only for startups but also for enhancing the overall business environment in both countries. The exchange of ideas and expertise from this meeting is expected to open new doors for innovation, investment, and market growth, solidifying the strong foundation for future collaboration between Vietnam and Taiwan.
