Vietnam Tech Ecosystem: From Promise to Proof at French Tech Summit 2025 🇻🇳

On behalf of GenAI Fund, Our Partner – Laura recently joined the stage at the French Tech Summit 2025, thanks to Business France, to speak on a topic close to our mission: Investing in Vietnam.

It was an honour to sit alongside amazing panelists like Trung Hoang D. (VinaCapital), Julien Curtet (Index Partners), Yu Xiang Kok (Schneider Electric), Dr. Duc Khuong Nguyen (EMLV Business School), and Hippolyte Genêt, with the session moderated by David Pham.

Vietnam’s Tech Ecosystem: Hotspot or Hype?

As someone building across Vietnam and Southeast Asia, Laura has witnessed this transformation firsthand — not just in numbers, but in the people, ambition, and innovation shaping the ecosystem.

The panel unpacked:
🔹 Will Vietnam be the next hotspot or still a promise in progress?
🔹 What makes Vietnam’s growth story so compelling — and so complex?
🔹 And how investors and startups alike can navigate the ups and downs.

Building with Conviction Amid Volatility

One thing that stuck with Laura: there is no growth without volatility.
Vietnam is moving fast. The real question is — how do we build with conviction when the ride gets bumpy? Is this Vietnam’s last chance to become rich before it becomes old?
