ABOUT VIETNAM INNOVATION CHALLENGE 2025
The Vietnam Innovation Challenge (VIC) is a joint initiative between the Vietnam National Innovation Center (now under the Ministry of Finance) and Meta, launched in 2022. This annual challenge calls for innovative ideas and solutions to support Vietnam’s long-term digital transformation goal. For 2025, the challenge is focused on accelerating Vietnam’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) future through Project ViGen.
Project ViGen is born from a tripartite partnership between the National Innovation Center (NIC) and Meta, the AI for Vietnam Foundation. The NIC acts as the coordinating and supervising partner, ensuring strategic alignment with Vietnam's national goals. The AI for Vietnam Foundation serves as the implementing partner, while Meta provides technical and financial support. Other partners include NVIDIA, Viettel and the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology.
