The initiative enables Singapore startups to get a better understanding of Vietnam’s culture and business context.

Grab and IMDA will evaluate Singaporean startups according to a range of criteria. The companies will focus on the team strengths, existing standing in the Singapore market, potential fit with the Vietnamese market, and readiness to expand.
