Startup Hai Phong serves as a key focal point for the development of Hai Phong’s innovation startup ecosystem, bringing together startups, businesses, investors, experts, and ecosystem support organizations to facilitate the formation, development, and commercialization of innovative startup projects. We provide comprehensive information, resources, and support tools across key areas, including market development, business models, finance, fundraising, legal support, strategic partnerships, and business development. Through these efforts, Startup Hai Phong contributes to building a dynamic, professional, and well-connected startup ecosystem, strengthening domestic linkages and expanding international connectivity.
Hai Phong is a leading industrial, seaport, and logistics hub in Northern Vietnam. Building on these strengths, the city has identified innovation-driven entrepreneurship as a new driver of growth - connecting science and technology with manufacturing, services, and digital transformation.
The Hai Phong Innovation Startup Support Portal was developed to bring together and make accessible the full range of resources within the ecosystem, including startups, science and technology enterprises, universities and research institutes, support organizations, investment funds, expert advisors, co-working spaces, and the city's support policies.
The ultimate goal is clear: to shorten the journey from idea to market-ready product and help every founder find the right resources they need as quickly as possible.
