They are participants of the Qualcomm Vietnam Innovation Challenge (QVIC) 2022 and have qualified for the next round.

The final is slated for this August and three winning teams will walk home with a total cash prize of 225,000 USD. 

The challenge, which involves the support of Vietnam’s Ministry of Science and Technology, will enable the development of Vietnam’s rising technology ecosystem by identifying and nurturing innovative small- and medium-sized companies in Vietnam in smart cities, augmented reality, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things and machine learning, and more.
